The more developed a country is, the higher the level of education and wealth of the citizens. So people understand the world better, and because of a stable society and good resources, life is more under control against adverse conditions. So there is less reasons to believe that your life is being governed by the diktats of an invisible entity in the sky.
On the other hand, in less developed and poorer countries, level of education and wealth is lower for the public. So they understand the world lesser, and there are fewer resources to deal with the situation if things go wrong. So this causes more people to believe that life is arbitrarily controlled by the whims of some invisible entity in the sky, and they pray to it for safety and psychological comfort.
In case of India, as the country gets more developed and the education and wealth level of the public increases, religiosity will decrease, and especially among the scientifically educated people, there will be a rise in atheism.
Very well articulated. I’m also intrigued by the general rise of extremism amongst the believers of the current generation. It is an interesting mix.
Because we cannot just believe that someone is up there and honestly both believers and non believers are same because both don't know for sure.
I am becoming more believer 😄
And what’s making you so?
Because there is no God
Because they live a comfortable life and are most of the day bored without any work.
So, God is a need of adversity?
Maybe they are observing folks who are not evil and never have been evil, getting tortured, jailed, raped...and then they see these mosters who have destroyed people's lives, raped, killed living their life with no repercussions.
Essentially being good or trying to be good often ends up in vain, quite contrary to what most religions say God will do.
Religious folks counter this point by saying its "all according to plan by the almighty".
In my opinion, the universe doesn't care about us. I mean tell me why can't I or any other human would barely survive, if we go above Stratosphere (let alone breathing in space without a suit), if God created this universe for us?
Universe is a hostile place. Our beloved sun will swallow half of the planets 4 billion years for now.
Our focus as a specie should be to go interstellar, find new home in different planets, make them habitable by any means. And if the star of that solar system is about to go berserk, have the bloody technological capability to find different home in another star system.
Okay I just realised I wrote way too much than I should lol. (And no I am not drunk while I am wrote this, fyi)
Bwahahaha. No, you don’t sound drunk 😅 Very well put. I especially liked the stratosphere point—I hadn’t looked at it from that angle before.
At the end of the day, we really are on our own.
Anyone convinced there’s a grand plan from the “almighty” tends to quietly skip over a few inconvenient questions: • If there is a plan, why do anything at all? • Some say it’s a test, others say it’s karma—but why? What exactly is the almighty trying to achieve? • Then comes the classic escape hatch: “We can’t understand the almighty’s plans as mortals.” • Fine—but if you’re a mortal, how do you know there is a plan in the first place? • And when pushed, it flips to: “How do you know there isn’t a plan?”
Well… if “a plan” is merely a possibility, then so is the idea that we’re inside a computer simulation. Or that we were created by a god who simply doesn’t care. Yet we don’t fully believe those, do we?
And that’s the thing—the list doesn’t end. It just keeps going, looping back on itself, powered more by comfort than coherence.
Reason is confusing core concepts. The most fundamental concepts in many religions are not clear. Like in christianity they say God is three in one, but also God is one. The three gods are independent personalities. You can never super impose the three.
In Hinduism there are multiple gods or demi gods but there is one supreme brahma. But the demi gods often appear as idols in human figure like. If God looks like a human, I don't think many people will worship or pray to two legged creature.
The only true monotheist religions are islam, Sikhism and Judaism. No wonder islam is fastest growing religion not just in reproduction within families but also the converts.
Well, all of them are cooked up stories over thousands of years. Like every other religion, even Islam has troubles with its core concepts. For some reason everything seems to lean on the idea of we are in a test. But why? Why should billions be tested infinitely. God doesn’t seem to be learning from the data collected 😅 also. If every religion has their own god, do they have a log of who is who. And a log of converts too? So they know who to screw and who to bless??
Here me out..... If you think there is a creator then you will always be in a downward spiral of justifying his existence as a being. So people go like why do we need to justify his existence we should consider him a being outside of our universe and understanding, but they fail to realise we are humans and we have developed critical thinking ability. Any person wheater atheist or not at one point of time will definitely question the almighty and his ways and be confused. If you don't find the answer using logic, reasoning and science you will never prepare yourself for the next thing in your life.
If you go via the scientific approach where all the matter and phenomenon in this universe is the result of almost unlimited time frame where anything could happen because of a lot of trial and errors. You can find answer to things. If you leave everything to God you will never seek those answers and never be able to break free from the schackles which contains your imaginations and aspirations.
Absolutely!! Belief makes us delusional. And how’s that a good way of living.
There's no need to believe in anything. Live for few more decades and you are gone forever.
answering your question. If someone uses little bit of logic, most stories and rituals dont make any sense.
Spot on!! Just a little logic and courage to accept absurdity. And God disappears. Unsettling at first. But very liberating.
