Unless you have evidence that the beliefs are true, the good works and friendly attitudes of the participants does not make it more true.

Every religion is imaginary hence it can be called a lie imo

So there are many lies?

I don’t really believe in any gods, but I still think that telling people that what they believe in is a lie is a rude thing to do. This comment section is really just people insulting each other the farther down you go at this point

Er, no. It's a lie because most were made up to gain power. Also: prove that gods exist.

Well most have god, gods, or some divine being. So to nonbelievers it is a lie.

Go ahead, show me some evidence that says that any god or divine being is real. I'll be waiting forever.

Christians screaming at queer kids that they're going to burn in hell is extremely biased and rude. Christians really can't handle it when we treat you just like how you treat us, don't you? Thoughts and prayers.

Okay, not a lie... Just entirely untrue.

Which ones are true and why? I’d love to know.

I turned my life around when I realized that everything I'd been told was valuable about my loving relationship with God were the exact same things that are red flags in relationships. Just have faith? He's not there, but he's always watching? He'll punish you if you don't love him the way he demands? You give and give and then have to make something up to convince yourself you've made him happy and he loves you? Nope. I quit, and amazingly, my relationships with other people improved, and I stopped having severe OCD episodes. Christianity does far more harm than good. It literally tells us that having faith in things we can't see, prove, or access is better than, you know... facts and reality. That is dangerous. Look what it's done to America.

I disagree completely. I have suspected Asperger's and OCD as well as anxiety. My faith helps me make sense of it all and deal with it. If not for my faith, I think I would be doing so so so much worse

Christianity isn't for everyone, nor is being. A non believer. I'm a believer and my family had been struggling but we have been able to hold on and love each other because of God and I'm thankful for that.

Okay, show us all a representation that makes sense. The world was created in 7 days? Women were made from men's ribs? We lived in a garden until we were kicked out for eating apples? Yeah, sure.

Well, people say anything can happen, I bet you have too. How hypocritical.

No, I'm actually a narrow-minded, low-IQ pessimist who thinks that she knows everything that is or will ever be.

You're so funny....

God won't answer your prayers the way you want him to, it happens unexpectedly.

Because people who find comfort/purpose/etc in their faith don't agree on it being a lie?

Really? Because from what I've heard, many (but not all) Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc believe that their religion is the one true religion and the others are lies. People with the strongest faith tend to think most religions are lies, just their one isn't. Atheists just think they're all lies. But no hate, like I said, if someone finds religion comforting- even if it is a lie- then of course they should be allowed to believe in it :)

Is all you need to know about the most vocal small population of “Christians” in America, you mean. The vocal minority always comes across as the majority.

Considering their ideologies are the ones being turned into our laws, it's not a minority. Go back to your churches and tell them to do better. As a former Christian who attended Christian schools, and has worked with Christians (and Mormons) all over the country and in other countries, yeah, sorry, Christians, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. If you don't like it? Fix it.
