I see it as a mistake to conflate religion with anybody's personal values. There are good people and there are vile people who identify themselves as Christians. There are good people and there are vile people who identify themselves as Muslims. There are good people and there are vile people who identify themselves as atheists.

It is the responsibility of the person making the existence claim to provide falsifiable evidence to support that claim. The burden of proof rests with the claimants, and no nobody else. Job done! :)

This is my opinion.

anglophone comments on Apr 13, 2020:

I have no issue with being called a "hard hearted atheist". Moreover, I make no apology for my ruthless application of reason and logic to "the God question". If people want to be so soggy brained as to claim the existence of their particular god in the complete absence of any supporting falsifiable evidence, then that is entirely their choice.

Sleep deprivation was a key factor in the loss of my faith.

anglophone comments on Apr 13, 2020:

My deconversion had nothing to do with sleep deprivation. It was in my case the ruthless application of reason and logic to the claims of the God Mob. It took me 20 years to do what seems to have taken just 20 days for you to achieve.

Part of my indoctrination as a believer was that humans have souls and other creatures do not.

As such, all those other gods must be regarded as fictional.
