Atheism

[close] Hey, everyone! I've wanted to read the Bible for a really long time, because 1) it's not completely fair to reject something you're not so familiar with, and 2) it would give me an advantage when discussing matters of religion. I'll be reading it this summer, so I've decided to create this group for anyone who might be willing to join me on this quest. I would like to point out that this will NOT be a discussion of religion, but one of the Bible. The title says "a group-read for Atheists" because I am one and my goal is to achieve a rational, relatively unbiased discussion about the book. If you think you are up to it, regardless of your religion, feel welcome to join in. I'll set up an Introduction thread, the actual reading will begin in June. Please read the rules before joining. PS. If no one is willing to participate by May, I will be deleting this group.

[close] I am doing this for myself and any of those who would like to join me. I am interested in reading literature on religions and atheism and philosophy while exploring their interpretations and histories. My personal viewpoint is that of an atheist who grew up in a secular Christian home but I look forward to learning as much about and with all beliefs and traditions around the world. My current interests - although they change frequently - lie in atheism, Buddhism, Judaism, and the Islamic world which I hope to explore in the first few months of 2019. I look forward to learning and maybe encouraging some tolerance.

[close] This group is for followers of any religion, atheists, agnostics, and anyone else with questions or concerns about faith. If there's anything you want to learn about another belief system, or if there's anything you want to share with others about your own belief system, this group is for you. This group was created in response to a series of posts by Christians on an atheist board and by atheists on a Christian board, but people of any religious persuasion are welcome. This group is neutral ground; no one is expected to be deferential to anyone else on the basis of religious faith. This group is not ideal for the easily-offended or the incurious.

[close] Hello. We wanted a group for atheists, agnostics and the a-religious, in which we could discuss topics that affect our lives. We come from Shelfari and have met some terrific people, but we also met entirely too many who simply attempted to convert us "heathens". This became tiresome, and we started this private group as a remedy. We are willing to discuss any topic at all, especially those specifically relevant to this group. Please join us and add your distinctiveness to our own - whether you're an atheist, agnostic, or simply questioning. We also aim to be a safe haven for those of you who are unable to speak your mind in your daily lives. Welcome!! [*Trolls will be swiftly ejected.]
