What the fuck are you on about you fanatical moron. Atheism has nothing to do with communism you fucking tard. All it is, and ever will be, is a lack in the retarded belief in a god. Logic, the same tool that people use to come to the conclusion that fairy tales aren't real is how we come to conclusion that communism is cancer. Christianity is cancer, Judaism is cancer, and Islam is the worst of the three. Religion as a whole is cancer, and get this, it's incompatible with the United States Constitution.

My mistake, I didn't mean to offend you. Would you mind showing me examples of succesful societies that embraced atheism and flourished? Or societies that existed without religion? Just trying to learn.

'succesful' as I defined it would generally be the three pillars of a stable state

  1. State building
  2. Rule of law
  3. Accountable government

Thanks in advance!

I used to be an atheist as well, even then I observed correlations between religion and societal structure. My standpoint when I was an atheist eventually became

"the mass population is stupid and easily manipulated and therefore religion is necessary in order to keep them grounded to reality, to resist corruption, and to maintain social cohesion"

Ethics are defined democratically and ethics cannot be defined objectively. To the rationalist this presents a very dangerous paradox.
