Are Atheists Evil?
134 Answers
A few years ago God was very much part of the lives of people. Even if one had doubts they were kept to oneself. Today there is almost as much pressure not to believe in God as there was to believe in him.
Is what is happening in the world today a result of man's trying to get along without God?

If one believes in the concept of evil then I guess atheists are no more immune to being evil than believers.
One doesn't try to get alaont without God, that implies a beleif in a God who is then ignored. What is happening is that we are advancing long term, gaining knowledge and using it to replace previous erroneous beliefs. That said it is a wandering path with each step forward achieved after many forward and back and to the side.

O-G Evil is just a concept which some religions seem to think has a disembodied existence which can enter people and make them evil.This is a very useful idea for controlling people but that is all it is. Since atheists don't subscribe to the idea of evil then they are immune to it. Believers on the other hand aren't.
I would be interested to know who it is who is pressuring you not to believe in your god..... Some specifics, please?
What precisely that is happening in the world today do you see is a result of mans trying to "get along without god"? - This golden age to which you refer - you know, the one where everyone believed in god, god was part of the lives of people, and the world was a better place - when in recorded history, precisely, was this?
Otherwise, idiosyncracy, your OP sounds like a kind of sneaky, weaselly attempt to blame all the worlds ills on non-believers, whilst at the same time absolving your god, who you claim is a creator and a listening and reactive god, from all the worlds ills.....
