Just watched this TED talk. He puts into words my thoughts.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Oe6HUgrRlQ&app=desktop
I once attempted to start an atheist church thingy. All that social meeting up on a Sunday and stuff.
The reason it failed was that there are 3 sorts of atheist;
1, atheist, like when you are born because you have no notion of this God idea so you cannot possibly believe.
2, Atheist, when you have had a think about it and you don't believe in fairies.
3, ATHEIST, when you will go onto internet forums to explian why this God thing is massively bad.
I, and all the rest who turned up, are of the third kind. The central defining charcteristic of our personalities we all had in common was that we are all extremely, naturally, born that way, can't change it even if we wanted to, massively individualistic.
The resulting herd of cats fell appart.
Any ideas how we get over that?
