Hopefully his bringing up Hitler not being an atheist, and Germans being Christians in the video stops people from trying to claim that Atheism kiss people below... but some how I doubt it will.

Edit: Wow... I am more sleep deprived that I realized. I meant "kills", not "kiss" :)

I think my favorite part: "Scaring children into believing they will burn in eternal hellfire."

That is exactly what religions do.

why are we such a violent species? why do we inflict so much pain and suffering onto ourselves and onto others?
religion claims that humans are guilty of original sin and only by accepting god and worshiping him we can be saved.
i think the answer comes from our past.
our species evolved in a violent world surrounded by war death and disease and we had to survive at all costs. in this world the most violent greedy cunning and ruthless individuals had a better chance to procreate and to pass their genes.
we developed under a huge amount of pressure witch resulted in the erroneous behavior we all know about (child raping priests :D) ; more than 98% of our species history was spent in such a cruel world and we are the result of it.

He`s wasting his time. Spirituality is not based on reason, so using arguments based on reason won`t convince spiritual people to look at things differently.

Appeal to them on an emotional level, and they might change their tune. However, considering his militant athiestic ways religious people automatically block out anything and everything this guy has to say.

I`m an Athiest btw, and I`m right now at the don`t-give-a-shit-your-loss-not-mine stage.

he`s not preacing to the religious fanatics, he`s preaching to those who "believe in a (unspecified) higher power",

I`ll dare to wager an internet bj, given by dedgreat1`s mother, that d1dgreat1 is the typical internet band wagon atheist who has not given religion and God much thought.

Any takers?

Blue_devil: i guess thats one way to look at it, but just look at nature, its pretty violent too. The strong survive, the weak perish, as is life. But the thing about original sin is ludicrous (well, its all pretty messed up really). They are basically saying that because eve made adam eat an apple, against "god"s will, that humanity is fucked for all time unless they dunk you in holy water. And anyone who isn`t baptised goes to hell because some bitch made some guy eat an apple..... how can anybody believe this shit?

^ these are the same things that i started to think as i got older and thought religion a crock of shit. Now I believe there is something after we die. However i also believe that an organization that protects kiddy fidlers or tells you to blow yourself up, has no place pretty much on earth.

I`ve always fallen back on to the Do unto others proverb, If i want to be treated like an arsehole, I`ll treat other people like they are arseholes.

There is something to be said about educated and well spoken individuals... They are often times convincing in their arguments and I would have to agree with everything said in this video

I wouldnt use the term "spirituality" so loosely. There are many different types of spirituality and the one you are referring to is Religious Spirituality. Don`t confuse this with Secular Spirituality. One might consider buddhist monks to be "spiritual" but I would not equate them to a religious person.

Secular spirituality means the adherence to a spiritual ideology without the advocation of a religious framework. Secular spirituality in principle might embrace many of the the same types of practices as religious spirituality, but the motivation is different. Belief and dogma are absent, the emphasis is on practice rather than belief and on the inner peace of the individual rather than on a relationship with the divine. Meditating is a great example of this kind of spirituality.

^ Most people don`t have a problem with Spirituality, just organized religion.
And while your point is well taken, please remember that Buddhists are not without their own massacres of other religions.
