Someone told me today that atheism somewhat like a religion, since it provides "a philosophy of life". Actually, and firmly, atheism provides no such thing...however, it did raise some issues with me.
I get exercised over god since belief stymies an accurate world view.
Faith is DANGEROUS.
Just look at the motivations of suicide bombers.
What would you do with 72 virgins anyway? After a couple of thousand years they'll be used up hags...and you've got FOREVER with them.
Believing in an ACTUAL RAPTURE is DANGEROUS.
Who cares about pollution, we're all due to go to our reward...
Why is global warming so fucking scary to fundies?
Because it calls for flooding, but god gave us a rainbow to show us he'd never flood us again.
(I'm being purposefully and firmly tongue in cheek...but you get the idea.)
Knowing what little we know about the universe, it seems to me that "philosophies of life" that begin and end with god aren't reflective of our environment.
In information technology it is known as GIGO - GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT.
