Looks like fewer people are wasting their lives in servitude to their religious beliefs. Sure, some of you are going to say that’s a bit harsh, but really. It’s the 21st century, enough already.

If you want to know what religious conversations sound like to an atheist, I thought of an interesting mental experiment you can try. Whenever you hear the name of a god you don’t believe in ( God, Jesus, Allah, Yahweh etc) substitute it with “Zeus”, and when you hear the name of a place you go when you die, replace it with “Valhalla”. It probably works better for a god you don’t believe in — the mental jump between a god you don’t believe in, and Zeus is no doubt much easier to jump.
