My experience with teenage atheists is that they usually remain atheists into adulthood.
They (hopefully) outgrow the edgy part, though, was my point.
I think you might have picked the wrong topic, then. Atheism tends to be sincere and not just edgy.
I'm an atheist and that's why I specified the edgy part.
Ah so you have a black friend so it's fine.
Atheism isn't edgy, it is a lack of belief. If you mean anticlericalism, then that's an entirely different thing.
I'm starting to think you were an edgy atheist yourself
K. Took you one comment to group up a person you don't know. Should I wear something for the occasion?
Don't make edgy atheists comments if you don't want to be labelled as an edgy atheist.
Lmao you’re not proving them wrong, talking all snarky like that!
..."group up"? Never heard that phrase used this way, is this something I should be aware of?
And business casual is fine, nothing too fancy.
Atheism isn't edgy, no.
But it can be, and that is what the whole discussion is about.
But if they are edgy misogynists in their teens and then they outgrow the edgy part...
... Then we'll still have a bunch of misogynists on our hand, but now their beliefs are sincere rather than performative.
It was an internet comment, not a thesis.
Really hard to take a niche religious belief seriously without a large dedicated community of fellow practitioners.
Like, if you're not regularly going to a church, there's no peer network or social reproduction. You might become "spiritual", but it's going to be some religion you invented in your own head that's divorced from any other formal setting. As likely as a non-athletic teenager suddenly becoming a baseball professional.
Organized religion is as much about the organization as the religion.
