If people don't believe in God, why do they visit the Religion & Spirituality  section?

My guess? To ridicule those who do believe.

Same reason many people go listen to religious service ... \n\nIt is something to do when you do not have the real thing. When you do not have real spirituality, you go for a substitute.\n\nIt is also something to do when you want to learn something new.

Because many many people see the horrors of religion in general, the absolute lack of reason in involved with "faith" and are not afraid of death.  \n\nThe world is a teeny tiny place in the realm of the universe and whatever is beyond what we can see.  Many people need to be comforted by believeing that there is something "out there" taking care of the human race.  \n\nMany feel the need to have something to guide them (could it be that their moral principles are not strong enough, or that they just need SOME kind of purpose to not feel like a waste of flesh?).  \n\nFor some, it is just easier to be blind to reality and accept a made up god than to actually use their brain to ask the questions which might be able to actually provide any comprehensible answers.

You guys are so funny.  For people who don't believe in Religion and Spirituality your sure spend a lot of time here...\n\nPeace!\n\nPS - could you leave a brochure in my door next time you are down my street?

Simple.  Whether I like it or not, I recognize that currently, the majority of U.S. citizens are "believers".  In my daily life it is necessary to deal with them.  To do so successfully, it helps to understand them.  A part (but certainly not all) of this understanding comes from going to the religion section and reading the opinions of others. \n\nIf at some time during my lifetime, "believers" cease attempting to use governmental institutions to impose their beliefs, than I would probably no longer spend time in this section.  I could get my humor and horror from other sections.  Hopefully my answer is of the type that you were looking for.

Because the things they are taught to believe are incredulous and often raise a question or two. And they are prone to doubt the fact that Jesus of Nazareth(real name Yeshua Bin Yusef *proven*) was a zombie. Because of this, and other things, makes it more reasonable to turn to Atheism and Agnosticism(me). Some do have faith, apparently like the ones that posted before, but they are the minority.\n\nSo why do they have so little faith? Because most of the **** is too incredible to believe

I think that it could be for different reasons.  \n\nSome people don't want to understand it because it can be scary to look into the unknown (outside the perception of the 5 senses).\n\nI think that the majority of the people are turned off by 1)The wars and killing over religion. 2) Religious fanatics who try to push their religion and beliefs down other peoples thoughts by threatening them with hell or eternal damnation.\n\nThe whole - Believe what I say or you're going to hell! Is a real turn off to some people. And the whole "God Loves You", yet "He's going to send your son or daughter or mother or father to HELL if he or she doesn't believe in what we believe.\n\nI am spiritual and I believe in god, but I never force or make hateful statements such as so-and-so is going to go to hell.\n\nI think that many have perverted the true spiritual meaning of religious texts.\n\nGod Help us All\n\nP.S. Atheists are NOT going to hell. God will show himself to them at the right time in a loving way.

Are you doubting God? That's what those people do. They are put here from Satan to doubt your beliefs. Stand Firm!!

Maybe because they don't think it's the truth - they're too busy searching yet to see it. Maybe they're narrow minded and/or don't believe in God. Could be alot of things.

It takes what one would call 'faith'. I personally consider myself to have no religion, therefore I don't entirely understand why someone, rather most people in this world, would believe in a 'higher power', an 'intelligent creator', or 'GOD'.

I am also a Christian and the reason they do is because they're scared. To believe in god is to much for them. And that would mean not going to heaven they would want that. So for them it's easier to just believe that there is no god just a heaven. And that they are going there. E-mail me it would be cool to finally have another believer to talk to. Oh yeah don't listen to this "Skeptic Man".

Or you could doubt Gods existence all of the time. I am always surprised at how little people know about their own religions. They ask for no facts, no accountability, and never question what they are told. I think they fear that their belief won't hold up and they will find out that they have wasted all of this time on nothing. I say if you are going to believe in God then at least know why. Don't be afraid to ask the hard questions, and don't let them get away with answers that don't make sense. Also, don't let them make you feel bad asking. If you are asking, and they don't have a good answer, maybe something is wrong.

Atheist like me don't believe in god for our own reasons. People who believe in god believe for their own reasons. There is no evidence to support or deny god.  Just believe in whatever you want and if  someone believes in something different just leave them alone.

I don't believe in religion, I believe in discipleship.  People can hide in religion and follow set rules for their lives instead of thinking for themselves and going through the Spirit's transformation, robbing themselves of a real spiritual life.

Because they believe that the world has a first cause that does not involve a god. Some believe that the energy that created the world is not in form of a god. They see an explanation for the world in science and nature. I respect whatever anybody chooses to believe.

If they are more intelligent than us,then why would they believe in something they have NEVER seen.Why would they believe something that as been written by human beings.Why does anybody believe in something that can't be proven.They would think that religious people,who believe in this Great God that is supposed to be so powerful he can do anything,are completely bonkers because,If this God is so powerful why does he let so many  people on this Earth suffer in so many ways ????
