Lots of threads seeking people of a similar religious background- thought it might be time for a thread seeking people of no religion whatsoever. I don't even necessarily want to be friends- unless you're looking for new friends, in which case friend away. I'm just curious to see how many atheists we have around these here parts.

    I am an atheist myself. I think there's probably lots of us around here, though there's not often a reason to state it comes up.

    Me. :) I've unfriended someone because their heavily religious profile wasn't viewable until after we were friends. I'm not against those of religious backgrounds, but there's only so much thanking of god & whatnot I can handle reading.

    Some call me an atheist but I'm closer to agnostic. I posted a sarcastic bit from George Carlin a couple days ago and it got removed. They said it probably would not have been removed if it was in the "Chit Chat" forum.

    I did notice someone had their "christian" post removed today. Not sure if MFP removed it though.

    It's all good though. I would never complain about anyone expressing their beliefs in here.

    I wonder if this thread will get locked.

    Happy for other atheists and agnostics to friend me! Gotta admit im turned off accepting a friend request when Jesus is mentioned on their profile as an inspiration.

    Start a 'looking for Christian' friends thread and you'll flush out all the atheists. :)

    Hey...I'm not only an atheist, I'm also a pro-choice, gay marriage backing socialist. In short, I'm guaranteed to piss off a good 3/4 of the population merely by breathing ;-)

    Blech, me too.

    Edited to add: I can't WAIT until well-meaning Christians get a hold of this thread and post about how they'll pray for us. Hahahaha!

    I'm Atheist now, though I didn't used to be, and sometimes I wish I wasn't. But after the things I've seen, both in my life and the lives of loved ones, I can't believe in any higher power right now.

    I miss the feeling of comfort it gave me, though, to have faith. I am almost jealous of those who are still able to follow blindly in their religion, without being deterred by the hypocrisy of most churches. It's a great social group, and when I lost my mother, even though that was part of the reason I lost my faith in the first place, I wouldn't have survived the aftermath of her death without my youth pastor and others from my church. I may disagree with the Church as an institution, but I cannot say that an individual is wrong, delusional, or naive to have faith. I just probably won't ever have it myself again.

    One thing I've found about the average atheist/agnostic......we don't seem to have a NEED to have other atheists around us.

    Agreed, cuz die-hard Atheists can be just as annoying as any other religious fanatic. :P
