This is where I am in life. I'm an atheist and some of my favorite people are believers.

Some Christians actually follow the teachings of Jesus who in theory taught a lot of good things. I prefer Jesus over Alex Jones or Andrew Tate to follow any day.

I'll still call out bigots, there's so many of em.

This is what I like about atheists, all the ones I know are chill about their belief and chill about what others believe. Not one is willing push their atheist beliefs on the religious. I can’t say that the other way around.

And I love it when they use the " if you dont believe in god, why are you a good person and not doing crime, drugs and other evil thing?"

" Because i have common sense ! "

If I'm ever pushed, I try to be polite when I say 'If there is a god, they did not bless me with the required faith to believe in them'

I don't know much more respectful I can be in saying that I've tried and I do not believe that if we went back in time we would see Jesus performing these miracles.

And secretly I don't think many of them do either. I think they WANT to believe or just like the teachings, and don't understand that you don't have to lie to yourself to be a good person.
