Since Mark Zuckerberg is an atheist, is it a sin to use Facebook?

Mark has a god called money, and he worships his god, and I dare say he would thank all the people all over this planet for enabling his god. Money can be a root of evil.

it is not, facebook is neutral. it depends on what you use it for.

You realise that if you hold true to your idea, you'll need a computer that doesn't run Windows, IOS, or Linux! And that had its CPU developed by companies other than Intel, AMD, or ARM. In fact you'd have to give up most of your "electronic" luxuries!

Johannes Guttenberg invented moveable type which made cheap books possible. He was a Catholic. Does that mean that Protestants should shun books?

Alan Turing was a homosexual and he helped invent computers in the modern sense. Is it a sin to own a computer?

The Buddhists and Daoists in China invented gunpowder. Does that mean it's a sin for a Christian to use a gun to protect themselves or others?

Muslims invented the windmill, is it a sin for a Christian to use electricity generated by wind power?

....and on and on.

Facebook lists Atheism as a religion when you sign up.

The CEO of Yahoo! says she puts God over her company. She looks the other way as people are targeted with anonymous hatred at her generic religion section covered in ads. This type of garbage does not happen at Facebook.

So while you have a website started by an Atheist that handles religion with proper care and listing it as a religion, you have this website run by someone who claims not to be Atheist completely mishandling religion.

No. It is not a sin to use Facebook.

For the false information added to this question: No. Computers were not invented by a gay Atheist. Turing believed in life after death and he did not invent the modern computer. Even his biographer admits he was just one guy who had a hand in it. He gives most of the credit to John V. Atanasoff.

People now push this lie simply to mislead.

I think Sin is strictly a theistic contruct and thus without merit. However, I do often wonder if any theist would view his atheism as an issue.

No Chance... i think it is remarkably appropriate to use comedians, and fiction writers of all types to comment on your god as the bible is completely fictitious and many of its believers are quite laughable in their tenuous hold on reality. But in all fairness, these are not the only quotes you will see. You will see many from Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Lawrence Kraus, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Steven Hawking and Carl Sagan among the other favorites like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins.

Besides, we usually find Ken Hamm, Ray Comfort, William Lane Craig, and Kent Hovind purveyors of fiction and humor, though in their case, not on purpose.

If you don't want to use technological and scientific advances invented by atheists, then you have a problem.
