Thank God l'm in India, and discussing on religion is an important aspect of our democratic rights. I really don't understand what the word democracy implies in Europe or what exactly are the limitations imposed on this word. More than a hundred years ago, when Swami Vivekananda had visited the West, he had said that if you preach any religion in the Western World, you would be witch hunted. But if you do that in India, you would be most welcome 😄😄😄 Moreover, it wasn't mentioned in the manuals of OT which topics could not be discussed over there. I believe @bojardinov is a European, but since he has lived in India for quite sometime, he would understand what l'm trying to convey.

  You had mentioned Buddhism and Jainism. These two initially had started as atheistic movements. The history of lndia is rife with atheistic movements😄😄😄 The present times are different though 😄😄😄😄😄

    Saying "God doesn't exist, stop believing in religion"?

        Many of us atheists, want other people to also become atheists, because of various reasons

        I’m just happy being left alone, no need to emulate the uberreligious by copying their shitty behaviour

        I mean, "preaching" is a whole spectrum, a lot of "preaching" behaviour is not harmful or disruptive

        It's probably like with smokers. As long as you don't make me breathe your exhaust gases, smoke as much as you can. But if we're sharing the air, I'll preach non smoking.

        The most obvious reason is that religion is a form of control. It's that ugly politics which keeps humanity divided. And all happens in the name of God. And then you call it "faith".
