"God" is a pretty vague concept. A lot of people will say they believe in a higher power, but they are not religious and don't go to church.

There's definetly been a big push in the last 5 years for the intelectually superior non-believer.
- The inferior are pushing back.monospaced
- The non-believer is often also a non-breeder i.e. the end of the line. Evolution favours religious who don't think just breed.shaft

Organised religion is not against evolution, quite the contrary. It's an evolutionary vehicle that regulates the society using vague references to transcendent knowledge and focuses on one thing only: reproduction and raising offspring.

What a bunch of morons. I hate how happy this imaginary belief makes them. I despise how much this non-existent being vastly improves their daily lives. It sickens me how this fairy tale has given their life meaning.
What idiots.

Actually Most of Science is based off of the Concept of God.
Some of the Ancient civilizations that we know of where very advance. Their concept of science, art, religion was unified, that everything relates to each other in some way. Sacred Geometry a good example. Vedic culture is another.
• Google uses an algorithm that comes from the Vedic alphabet because it is very mathematical.
• Nasa still uses Vedic Math calculation methods for space travel equations.
• Theory of relativity has its base in Vedic beliefs.
Concept of the ether is a big contributor to quantum physics.If you read these stories from one sided belief system, especially from point of view of what your told in public school, You will not understand the concepts. If you study the most successful thinkers and contributors to our modern world. You will find out that they are almost mystics. even Werner von Braun, a nazi scientist working for nasa. All his breakthroughs used sacred geometry and mystical components in his work, never the less, he was able to create something based of old concepts. Einstein or Max plank huge contributors to science based on old concepts and what you would call now mysticism or religion based on God.
just think about it...
A good book I recommend is "Concepts of Space The history of Theories of Space in Physics" by Max Jammer
Good start
- they're not talking about non western religions, they just hate on christianity, because it's hip, I dare anyone to hate on judaismGeorgesII
- Those Cultures base everything on God.yurimon
- having origins from a particular belief system is very different from science being based "off the concept of god"lowimpakt
- I don't hate on just Christianity. I hate all religions equally.CanHasQBN
- It just so happens that most of the atheists you've encountered live in Christian or Catholic countries...CanHasQBN
- ...where Jesus is brought in the argument before other gods.CanHasQBN
