This in no way means that people don’t have vast understanding, it means that not
everyone has Biblical knowledge... and people tend to fear that which they don’t understand.

You think the reason people are non-religious in 2013 is because they are ignorant to the Bible's content? Wow... quite the contrary.

It’s likely that you are not aware that your response validates such.

Interesting that there is an inverse relationship between intelligence and religious belief (source) yet you believe the more intelligent group is the one lacking the ability to form their own critical thought.

Which post of mine indicated biblical ignorance?

Huh? I was raised Southern Baptist. I have very influential church members in my family.

I really can't believe someone would believe this. The source of all of our religious beliefs is our parents. Who do we pay attention to first, the media or our parents?

Believe it. We have a complete generation of brainwashed zombies who have no idea what Christianity truly is or what role it plays in our society. They have been brainwashed by the liberal establishment since the 1st grade.

It's amazing and backward. Those who no longer believe indoctrination instilled in naive childhood promising eternal hellfire as a punishment for disbelieving this truth are brainwashed to you.

Anti-christs is clearly not the correct term. That would be like calling adults the grinch during Christmas time simply because they no longer believe in Santa. Anti-theists is the best term for what you describe.

I agree Anti-theist is a good term for a general use against all religions. I also like Jugnaut's response of Misotheism. Now with this in mind, would you say the atheists who put up the anti-christmas billboard in NYC are falsely labeling themselves and are actually anti-theists or misotheists? Also, going deeper, since it was directed at Christianity what would be the specific term for someone who only hates Christianity? Would AntiChrists fit this context?

A large percentage of the non-religious are fiscally conservative and perhaps vice versa. I was simply pointing that out. NC Herd Fan is the one who seemed to equate a non-religious stance with liberal ideology.

I could have used Republicans in place of Democrats, I just picked a politically party. Don't really think that being non-religious fits with a political party or really a political ideology for that matter.

Go find a link, I guarantee you that there are far more non religious liberals than Conservatives.

I'd guess religious belief has an effect of social politics. That's where it ends though.

Extremely ignorant. Or are you saying that non religious people have knowledge about the Bible? I think you're horribly confused.

Lol. You call me ignorant in the same post that you can't interpret my non-ambiguous post. Many people are non-religious because they know a lot about all religions, their similarities, and their purpose.

I was joking when I said "rational" earlier. I'm not afraid of modern Christianity at all.

Christianity was invented as a mechanism of control, and it is astoundingly good at doing just that. It's influence, however, is waning in western society. It's had a good run, but it's coming to an end. It will only be a few more generations before it falls below majority status in America. It's interesting to think about what, if anything, will rise to take its place.

I'm curious as to why there isn't a descriptive term with such a growing trend of hatred toward religion. Bigot is too broad a term and isn't exclusive to religion. I just find it odd that some on this board love to call religiously leaning individuals bigots, racists and homophobes, but yet there isn't a word to describe that same person spewing the hate who just overall hates religion and religious people. I'm thinking anti-theist is the best term however, that only describes someone who is against religion but don't necessarily hate it. Then there are also some on this board who solely hate Christianity. Since they use terms such as anti-gay and anti-abortionists, should they just be referred to as Anti-Christs (i.e. anti-semite) when they slander Christianity with hatred over these issues? I'm not intending to start a raucous, even though I know it will happen. I'm sincerely curious.

I changed that to "modern Christianity." Some forms of religion do scare me.
