Thread: Do you wonder why no one trusts Atheists?

I didn't watch it, but to be honest only Americans mistrust Atheists. And maybe middle eastern muslims.


The majority of intellectual europeans and the rest of the world have no issue.


As far as why Americans mistrust atheists, I'd say because of social prejudice and indoctrination as youths.

Yeah he does make us look pretty bad, though people should remember if you don't believe there is a god thats all that makes you an atheist, people act like it's a sect or religious group. but yeah let ben stein speak his own mind about what he thinks, he has freedome of speach, and I was thinking earlier that I might want to see the film just to see if they had any good arguments, I also believe he has a greater message as far as I see from the trailor that we should think and believe what we wish, and I totaly agree. So I think I will agree with most of what he says, it just so happens though that I don't believe in creationism.

heh it's a response to jezuzfreek, who I have been subscribed to for a pretty long time

Ya i want to see Ben Steins movie too

Ben Stein is a major expert on metaphysics and biology, considering what a great economist he is.

Also, the fact that Ben Stein is an actor gives him even more credibility.

The US is exceptionally low on atheists. Minorities are usually mistrusted. Atheists are far more accepted in other developed countries.

I don't understand the chart...what do the %'s stand for?

Maybe? Can't you be put to death if found out to be an atheist over there? Yeah, I think they mistrust atheists just a little.

I don't think it's quite that extreme.

Actually, it is.
