‘Clusterf**k’ & ‘Mass Cult’: See the Epic Compilation of Atheist Interviews from the Reason Rally

Mar. 26, 2012 12:13pm Billy Hallowell

Atheists Talk Christianity, Obama & Religion at Reason Rally | The Blaze Compilation Do you really want to know what atheists think about Christianity in America? How about President Obama’s handling of faith issues? In our new video compilation, “This Is What an Atheist Looks Like!,” we’ll show you, in non-believers’ own words, what they think about the concept of God, Christianity, their role in the political system and plenty more.

As we’ve reported, over the weekend thousands of non-theists graced Washington, D.C. with a fierce and boisterous presence. The Blaze was on hand to bring you the inside scoop. Along the way, we met anti-religious persons of all stripes at a secular lobbying training event and during the Reason Rally.

Atheists Talk Christianity, Obama & Religion at Reason Rally | The Blaze Compilation From insanely inappropriate language about faith and religion to respectful disagreement, the “freethinkers” we encountered were diverse in terms of tactics and tone. Their main points of agreement with one another? There’s no God, no afterlife and absolutely no room for belief in the “supernatural.”

We decided to ask numerous leaders in the atheist movement and Reason Rally attendees four key questions:

What brings you to Reason Rally?
If you could deliver any message to Christians in America, what would it be?
If you could condense Christianity into one or two words, what would they be?
How has President Barack Obama handled the secular community in America?

From insightful to down-right-bizarre, the atheistic responses we gathered were intriguing to say the least. One woman said, ”Get your religion out of my girl panties.” Another claimed that Christianity can best be framed as “ignorant.” James Randi, a well-known magician and one of the event speakers, told The Blaze that Christians should “grow up” and that any religious person is essentially living in the “14th century.”

Here are a few of the other labels given to Christianity: “Irrational,” “false dogma,” “mass cult,” “anti-intellectualism,” “popular,” “clusterf**k,” “authoritarian,” “paternalistic” and “overwhelmingly fundamentalist.”

Watch the hilarity in “This Is What an Atheist Looks Like!,” below:

Well, I am an atheist and kinda Anarchist + Libertarian = Minarchist.

However, I don’t bother religious people about their god. Unlike many atheists, I don‘t demand that they don’t celebrate Christmas, they don’t wear crosses, they don’t pray in public, they don’t have Bible studies in school, etc. ETC.

I appreciate YOUR point of view, you clearly have a heart. Some of the video people obviously don’t.

So let me get this straight, the unending, all-powerful force of creation that hand-made the universe funneled himself into the body of a human fetus and then teleported the fetus into the uterus of a married virgin. He then spent 30 years on earth walking around doing basically nothing and then one day rearranged reality to set in motion events that would lead to his own death…effectively committing suicide. He does this because his death will, for some or other reason, clear humanity’s sin tally (which he, himself is keeping up in heaven). And then after his plans to get himself killed fall into place, he looks around and asks himself why he has abandoned himself? Is that the basic gist of it?

  Because the creator of the world took pity on our fallen state -he chose to live and suffer and die like us to prove his love and by rising from the dead-showed us that he has trancended death -which is the heart of the matter for mortals. hence the good news of jesus is the light of the world.Why we are fallen is the mystery of free will and creation-but in our fallennes is proof that we are free-that we matter as beings and are not just things in the world. so in spite of our fallenness[our making bad choices]God our of love has redeemed us anyway and allows us to become adopted sons of god and redeemed brothers in christ.That we suffrer and die in a flawed world is real and that we are redeemed to a perfect divine infused condition is our hope which our faith in jesus gives us.What’s wrong with that?Why settle for living in the dark darkly -why not hope for more?

Every group has a cook fringe and as an atheist, I think it’s unfortunate that many of these people have turned atheism into a religion itself. I may not agree with your beliefs but as long as they are not intruding in my life, I have no problem. These are the type of people who make all atheists look irrational and unreasonable.

  It is too bad that those people are not as mature as you are RachaelJ83. I hope one day you will open your mind to the possibility that there is someone greater than you. I understand some people’s need for proof of something, but if you really understood religion, it is all about faith; faith that something existed without proof. Also, scientist have been proven wrong, just an FYI.

Funny thing is as they gather together to promote their “individual, free-thinking” ideas with 10,000 other people, they, by definition, become a religion of non-religion, or a cult whichever you prefer. Totally inept morons. Me and my 10,000 hater neighbors want to express our individuality and force you to believe how wrong we think you are.

  They’re acting almost identically to any evangelical true “believer.” They want to convince everyone that what they believe is completely, totally wrong.

Most of this is provocation, plain and simple. They want to goad anyone who believes in God into committing a violent act so they can point the finger of accusation at them. It is rooted in the fact that atheists can’t live with any reminders of a real God and his moral law, even though His law is written on their hearts.

Now, I have NO idea how to do this, but what if someone sent the video of these pierced, queer, old, fat and clueless NIMRODS to Muslim extremist websites?
Some of those clueless atheists had their name tags right on their shirts!
I’d love to see the terrorist knuckleheads whack a bunch of atheists…
It’d be a pay-per-view moment

  Muslims tolerate athiests and those of other faiths.[neither christians or jews are in fact considered infidels as they all believe in the God of abraham-in spite of what you liers say. and lying about your neighbor is a sin-christians]. Apostates are a problem in some of their countries- they are aftter all islamic theocracies.

Atheists are severely underrepresented in the political sphere, even though we number larger than the Jewish population in America. So why is everyone flipping out when 20,000 of them peacefully assemble on the National Mall to show each other and the nation that we are not as small a group as people think we are?

  Peacefully assemble to show us your limitless 4 letter word vocabulary and to prove to those of us who know there is a God, how wrong YOU think we are? Class act is all I can say apart from someday you will know better.

ATHEISM IS A RELIGION

The atheists god is nothing and nobody(but themselves)
atheists believe:

that in the beginning nothing created the universe with nobody’s help
out of that same nothing nobody formed the rock and water of earth
nothing other than rain on the rock formed life with nobody’s help
that life evolved into complex organisms from nothing to humans and nobody interfered
that as humans everything we do is destroying the world that nobody built and to save it we need to go back to doing nothing
morality is inherent in humans and if nobody damaged them when they grew up nothing would be wrong with the world
nobody needs to tell them what to do(but themselves) there is nothing they can not determine
nobody created the earth and there is nothing after death
nothing is truly good or bad
nobody is essentially good or bad
nobody should judge them(but themselves)
nothing should be denied them as nobody(but themselves) can determine what is good for them

As believers in God and Christ we need to love the atheists and pray for them because they have nothing to look forward to and nobody to look up to.

  I disagree with a lot of what you’re saying here, Noone. I’m not an atheist, but I don’t believe that religious people are the only ones that can teach their kids morals and right from wrong. It’s not true, and the idea is offensive. I know a lot of extremely decent, upstanding people who are atheists.

  Dave.The.Blaze: I am not saying that they can not teach their children right from wrong. nor am I saying that they are incapable of being good people or that they are not good people. I am simply pointing out that without any basis for their moral compass all reasoning for what is right or wrong is simply “BECAUSE”. Why should someone not lie? Because it is wrong. Why is it wrong? Because it is not the truth. Why is the truth more important than a lie? Because it is. What is the atheists basis for anything they do? I will admit and agree that a lot of religious people misuse their religion to sometimes do horrible things. Sometimes the perversion of religion is purposeful or through ignorance. In those instances you can usually pinpoint what the corresponding belief is. Please enlighten me on the basis for an atheists morality.

  Noone, I’m not sure I can articulate what any single atheist might say in response, but I would counter that because the things most people consider bad (lying, cheating, violence, stealing, etc.) are wrong not necessarily because a holy book says so but because those things hurt other people. The Golden Rule is as probably as close to a universal idea concerning this as there is, and nothing in it is inherently religious….or atheistic.

I call these types “evangelical atheists.” I pretty much despise any evangelical, Christian, atheist, or otherwise.

Little convinces me more of God’s reality than atheists. Think about it: active atheists put an awful lot of effort fighting against someone they’re convinced doesn’t exist. Talk about futility of existence and effort…
Remember Psalm 14:1, Proverbs 21:30

These guys are hypocrites and typical liberals….

They say to be “open minded” and “get with the” 21st century(PROGRESSIVE UNDERCURRENT RIGHT THERE!), all the while they spew out hate and condemn religion…. Remember, progressives need to undermine the religion/moral system in order to condition people to be more lax…. They then turn around and use the “tug at your heartstrings” approach to further political agendas. We see this being applied TO EVERYTHING now. Not just healthcare…

Using emotions to pass a bill, rather than whether is is actually good for the country or not…..

On a side note, I don’t believe any religion… But I don’t flaunt it like it’s some worthy “cause”… I also realize the difference between good and bad, and what “doesn’t hurt” to believe in, as in: Christianity/Judaism = Good, Muslim/Islam = Bad. I mean, when was the last time you heard a christian walking into a crowd of people and blowing himself up? Or wrote a book giving guidelines on how to beat your wife???
