>>BY BEING SECULAR WE SOUND GOOD AND TOLERANT, BUT IN REALITY WE PROMOTE RELIGION - SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE LONG BEEN DISCARDED BY HUMANKIND. THESE ABSOLUTELY UNSCIENTIFIC BOOKS THAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO COLLAGE, WERE WRITTEN HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS BACK BY PROBABLY SOME WELL MEANING GUYS, BUT ARE NOTHING ELSE BUT COMPILATIONS OF TOTALLY OUTDATED MORAL GUIDELINES AND TOTALLY FALSE STORIES OF ORIGINS OF HUMANKIND AND THE UNIVERSE<<

I have had friends from all religions and like many Indians, celebrated all religious festivals with them with full enthusiasm, despite being a secular atheist ever since my childhood. And till 2014, I never realised that just being a secular atheist could often feel like being spineless.

Because till 2014, I was not a part of a platform called WhatsApp.

After becoming a part of this platform (I don’t really think I need to explain to my readers how from America to India WhatsApp groups divided families and friends across political and religious ideologies, they surely know or can do their own research) I started feeling that secular atheism is a giant compromise and disservice to the society.

It is what stops the spread of right education and keeps the world divided. By being a secular atheist we say we don’t believe God exists but we are fine if you believe God exists. We believe in saying that we respect your belief system.

Though that sounds very good, in my view that’s not the right thing to do. While everyone is free, and must be left free to call the sun as moon and vice versa, it’s wrong on our part to say we believe in accepting your view point - the purpose of secularism. Our job is not only to say that you might believe that’s the moon but it’s incorrect; But our job is to say, it is actually the sun and please do not teach anyone, especially our children, such wrong concepts.

Our job is to clearly tell people what’s right and what’s wrong. And take a stance. We can’t just say murder is bad but it’s fine if you think otherwise. We can’t just say rape isn’t right but it’s your free will. We can’t just say dictatorship is bad but it’s fine to practice it. We can’t just say blind beliefs are bad but as a nation we accept all kinds of blind beliefs and believe in coexisting with them.

We have to be forcefully vocal against certain evils, we need laws to make certain acts illegal and we need to take affirmative action against certain ills that plague our society.

In simpler words, we have to be anti-murder, anti-rape, anti-dictatorship, anti-blind beliefs and in my opinion, exactly in a similar manner, anti-theism. Specially if we want to spread global humanity. So post 2014, I stopped being an atheist.

I became an anti-theist.

Anti-theism is not my religion. I have nothing against theists - unlike religious people who often have hatred for people of other religions and above all else for atheists.

I just refuse to accept anything without evidence or rationale and I do not believe that there is anything called God - simply because there is no evidence. And I believe that there is a case to read/hear me out, because, if there is even one life lost on a blind belief we should be against that. And here we are talking about religion and God - due to which the earth has lost the highest number of lives ever, and continues to lose on a daily basis. Which is the key reason why I not only believe that God doesn’t exist, I am actually against (anti) the illusory concept called God that divides human beings, makes them hate each other fanatically, abuses children, women and poor specifically, and is the biggest hindrance to individual health, happiness and success.
