That's... not how atheism works.
- tialaramex 4y agoIt's usually phrased as "I just believe in one fewer God than you". Christians don't on the whole believe in Thor and Zeus and so on, and neither do Atheists. But the Christians seem very hung up on approximately one God, especially those who have the most superficial beliefs. Thus it can be seen as a small difference. I say approximately because, well... Trinitarian Christianity. Most modern Christians claim to believe in "One God" who is somehow also "Three persons". If you don't regard the New Testament as the Holy word of God, but just some stories then this Holy Trinity sure looks like the explanation for the Kessel Run in Star Wars, or that thing where Klingons changed appearance radically in Star Trek, or a dozen other places in fiction where holes in the story were patched clumsily and fans pretend to look the other way.
- em-bee 4y agobut that's how being open minded works. regardless of what each of us believes, there are beliefs that we would reject. how we treat people that share those beliefs is what matters.
