Re: Do you consider atheists oppressed?

[(Anonymous)]

Unfortunately, a disturbingly large number of people seem to interpret it that first way instead of the second way.

Besides, I would think it'd be better to motivate people to care about/refrain from harming others simply because it's the right thing to do, rather than because doing so will please their god. But that's a more minor quibble, admittedly.

I don't think that's a minor quibble at all. I think it's actually one of the biggest ethical/moral problems with the Abrahamic religions. If God determines what is good, then morality is completely arbitrary. On top of that, if someone's basis for doing what's "right" is that she or he feels that she or he has to follow God, then she/he is not actually a good person -- she/he is simply someone who's constrained by an external source of dubious authenticity. What happens if she/he loses his/her faith?

It's something that comes up a lot. There are a lot of Christians who say "well, atheists don't do what God tells them, so how can they be good?" And it's like, you're fucking scary! You needing God to tell you what to do in order to not do bad things says a lot more about you than about non-believers.

(General you at the end there, of course)
