Why atheism makes you mean

Abrahamanic religions do not believe we are born in sin. According to Islam we are all born in fitra [having an innate human nature that leans towards belief in God]

I've been to all of those and they are not the same.

Have you ever been to a church, or a mosque or temple? Its not a museum or a castle or a cave.

 

Countless.
From many different religions.
They are some of my favorite places to be.

Religion little to nothing to do with it.
Religion inspired people to create beautiful buildings - many of which feel as isolated, separated and secluded as a womb - but it is not religion that makes me feel the way I do when I am there.
People often find comfort and joy in religion, so they exude comfort and joy when they are in their holy places.

It is not religion making me feel the way I do, but the people and the buildings.

It is all a state of mind.
I can find just as much peace, joy and comfort in these places.

 

So you find no difference between a cave and a temple? Then you probably live in your mind.

I find caves to be cold and unconfortable or hot and dusty, museums are noisy and rigid, castles are drafty, a church or a masjid is a place to be spiritually inclined and is built that way.

Perhaps you have to be religious to appreciate the benefits of religion.

 

Sounds to me it has nothing to do with religion for you either, as these are all simple, physical traits.
Perhaps you are convoluting religion and house of worship.
Besides, if it has to do with religion, why would you get the same feeling in places of worship for religions you do not believe in?

 

Because I believe its all one God. :shrug:

 

Maybe that's why.

I find joy in churches largely because people find and exude joy in churches.

 

Why do you think that is?

 

There are many more reasons than there are religions.

 

Contrary to what atheists might have you believe, it seems that god unifies the human social fabric.

 

lol, take this forum as a less serious example

I'll say!

What social system of governance do you think sci emulates?

M*W: I've always thought that a church was a hospital for sinners and not a museum for saints.

 

God does unify some.
Patriotism unifies some.
Nationalism unifies some.
Science unifies some.
Hatred unifies some.
...

 

Why can't it be for both?

What is your experience of religion and charity, O Swami?

being unified by god (nb - particularly from 2.20 onwards) has the potential scope for unification beyond a mere bodily designation, unlike the other four

 

let me remind you that this is a science forum and not the medium for discussing such things

but to rush in anyway, it offers a greater scope for harmony. Atheism (and even theism under the grip of out of control urges) is simply disharmonious. Disharmony equals conflict.
