I truly believe being atheist/anti-theist is probably the best thing you can do for yourself.
Following Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic religions solely leads to more issues and moral discussions that shouldn't even be discussions.
I have always known that I'm an atheist, ever since I remember, from the mere age of six, I knew I could not force myself to believe in an over-seeing God.
I know some people will be offended by this take and that's okay. Religion is nothing more but a way for us humans to cope with what we do not know. We as people have always tried to find meaning in our world, there's even a whole philosophy on this. In my mere honest opinion, religion does nothing more but separate us more. My family is Catholic, I remember entering mass and indulging in their words, trying to make sense of this mysterious God that serves the people, yet lets multitudes of people suffer on a daily. "Free will" they will claim, but what does that really mean? Everything bad leads to us? I mean sure some things do but c'mon, that's a cheap excuse and they know it. "Free will" but they will throw you into an eternal burning hell if you do not do as the God orders?
There are kids and people dying in Gaza, Somalia, Afghanistan, Syria, Congo, and several other places in the world. Is this a good representation of Gods doing or is it our "free will"? No all-loving God would let their "children" suffer the way these people are on a daily.
The bringing of religion into politics is a whole other issue. Whether its forcing classrooms to have the 10 commandments and bibles in classrooms or political leaders using religious scriptures to lead, it all leads to disaster. I will take U.S.A's current president, Donald J. Trump as an example. Ever since the beginning of his campaign there has been mentions of Christianity, Christ, the bible, and other religious mentioning's. As people continue to consume these medias together, they form a bonded thought. There have been instances where people have begun praising DONALD TRUMP as their GOD. Politicians are hiding behind their religion, hiding behind their books, and meaningless verses. Politics and religion have never mixed and never will. Leading with the thought of a God by your side will only feed ego and overconfidence.

Hmmm.... Quite a while back after knowing the whole thing with Jeffrey Epstein.
I'm quite wondering that if god exists why gold let such horrendous things happen to innocent children and innocent girls where some innocent kids being sexually abused then unfortunately killed and even other such awful stuff happens afterwards, I've asked this multiple times now and some haven't seen some answered with no clear cut answers and some blame it to humans as a whole unfortunately gaslighting us saying we let it happen.
I've responded saying we're facing such powerful people here and I don't say there's anything unfortunately ordinary people could do and then never responded afterwards.
Why god let this all happen? Such awful things happening to some innocent people why the rich were able to do anything they want regardless it's evil.
I'm not questioning here with awful intent just looking for answers either way.
But yeah, I don't really know and I'm not insulting you or even hating you for your belief and for this blogpost but yeah, I don't know.
