Are atheists brainwashed? - Liam - 10-13-2012 06:09 AM
Acceptance of atheism tends to promote cooperative social relationships. This communication demonstrates a willingness to accept, without skepticism, the influence of the speaker in a way similar to a child's acceptance of the influence of a parent. By encouraging this kind of behavior where the most intense social relationships occur it facilitates the lack of skepticism and deters more open minded thinking.
They are atheist simply because they were indoctrinated by their parents as very young children. Or the media, the education system or atheist friends in real life or online They will go on to indoctrinate their own children and those will go on to indoctrinate their grandchildren!
People who nourish the soulhave the intellect to see through the conditioning and escape into their real self.
Agnostics have the intellect to see through the conditioning but lack the courage to throw of the conditioning entirely.
Sadly atheists are still held firmly prisoner by the self perpetuating brainwashing!
What do people think?
Even Richard Dawkins has turned his back on atheism
Meohisto unless you live In England that would be difficult
Cha cha for someone who doesn't care about religion you seem to spend a lot of time in here.

You seem to be missing the point -- skepticism over unsubstantiated claims is precisely WHY we're atheists!

No. Atheism is the natural and default position: we are all born atheists, and have to be inculcated (brainwashed) into some man-mad theology.

No, I haven't had a good brain washing since I was a Christian.
I have a very dirty mind to show for it, if you don't believe me.

So atheists are brain washed because they don't believe in some very illogical stories of unconditional worship that they have been told since they were babies, that doesn't sound right.

I don't believe in God due to lack of evidence - your sophistry, wordplay and lack of intellectual honesty aren't going to change that.
