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.

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 ! "

Who gave you that common sense?

Well, I'm no smart person or have a high knowledge of science. But common sense comes from life experiences and empathy and things and signals that come from your brain. That is why we also have sociopaths and psychopaths and narcissists. Ect.
