Religious people should not ask sane people why they "became" atheists.

Religious people should realize that this question is stupid and offensive.


It is a stupid question because everybody is born atheist. It's the default state of a human being. You don't "become" atheist.

Neither do we "lose" our so called faith. Some of us never believed that nonsense to begin with. You can't lose what you never had. Some of us fell into the vicious religious trap for a while. They didn't lose anything either. They (re)gained their sanity.

The real question is: "How is it possible that you ever came to believe such blatantly ridiculous, obscene and cruel nonsense?"

The answer is: because you were at an impressionable age and totally reliant for all basic things like food, shelter and clothing on other, physically much bigger humans. They abused you and abused your defenseless condition to tell you all kinds of horrible lies and scared you into believing this filth. You were mind-raped.


It is an offensive question because it supposes that everybody is as naive and superstitious as religious people. It is offensive because it presupposes that we are as dumb as the one who asks it.


So, if you are a religious person you should realize that asking this arrogant question only irritates sane people. Don't do it. It's extremely rude and insulting and it makes you look stupid.
