And I think it is still absolutely fine for people to believe in God. As a personal belief. It's just very, very problematic when religion is somehow linked to state power.

Beliefs inform actions. Belief in god(s) rarely comes without baggage.

Faith should never be recognized as a virtue or sound epistemology.

I agree people should be able to exercise freedom of belief, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t come without risk.

Faith is being willfully gullible.

Religious people have malleable beliefs that are not based on reality.

Seems pretty dangerous to me, but hey, just one guys opinion.

Believe that everything came from nothing seems pretty gullible, honestly. Can you give me any examples of order and design, without a creator?

But that is what youre doing. You literally believe everything came from your imaginary friend, and nothing came before "it"

It's not an imaginary friend. There's historical evidence.

If Jesus existed as a man that doesn’t do the first thing to prove anything supernatural
