World moving backwards.

Depression and anxiety at an all time high. At the same time as leaving religion. Makes sense. The math adds up.

In fact, many would argue that believing in religion is a mental illness, in itself, but that's another conversation, altogether.

The real reason people dont want to believe in God, or contribute themselves to a church is because they dont want to be held accountable for immoral behavior and behave in a moral manner.

They want to do what they want, not realizing they're becoming a slave to their desires and emotions which are the worst compass to live by.

Most peoples lives are full of lust, vice, and consumerism, that is the main "religion" today. They want to do that without guilt.

You can believe in a god or gods and not be religious. You can contribute to others without joining a church.

Religious means you are faithful and devout, fearful and observing of a god or gods.

 

[Phitz]

Religious means you are faithful and devout, fearful and observing of a god or gods.

To expound on that, whatever you believe in requires faith, even if you believe in nothing. So that nothing, or something you believe in, you're betting youre entire life on it. Everybody has a faith.

i don't need an imaginary father figure in the clouds to hold me accountable

it's nothing but santa claus for adults, if santa had a fiery place to send you if you were bad, instead of just giving you coal in your stocking

[Phitz]

Alot of people are leaving church to do this:

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Just exchanging one religion for another

 

[concise]

Came in to say that christianity is the proud sponsor of white supremacy and jesus is its mascot

Oh, are there no atheist white supremacists now?

no, i'm just one of the 20 billion humans that have passed through the earth, will do my 80 years, and die

it's just nature and biology, not a cosmic morality test run by a magic man in the clouds
