Monitoring the situation in Iran

These people cheering must really enjoy not having freedoms.

Amazing how a religion can brainwash humans so hard. The fear of inevitable death and the thought of eternal existence in some sort of paradise is a powerful drug.
I think that's how religion originally started. All the kings and priests made up fairy tale stories of gods and devils and shit to to calm the masses. While those elites stay rich, pig out and control the city, the peons who are easily influenced will believe anything. And when youre kept poor, you kind of got no choice to ride it out anyway..... unless they can overthrown the tyrant.

In countries with religion being unpopular or richer people, religion has little effect as they are smarter and can be self sufficent with good jobs

More like control the masses by calming them while also convincing them there's a big brother watching them all the time, so better not conspire against the god-chosen king when you are alone.

But yes, that's my theory as well.

This is simply not true. Precisely, in "atheist countries" we have a plethora of crazy ideologies that have taken over the role of traditional religions. Feminism, gender insane theories, transhumanism, etc. All those are religions. Atheism itself is a religion. Faith and inteligence work in different lengthwaves. The so-called "secular" leftist refuse to acknowledge the Iranian massacre just because of their extremist ideology and this is happening in "richer and smarter countries". Precisely, the richer a country is, the more insane it becomes, because BOREDOM is the root of all evil, as the old sages said.

Come on now, don't be silly.

An atheist simply doesn't believe in god because of lack of convincing evidence. Simple as that. It doesn't have anything to do with being a "part of something" or a member of a cult or whatever nonsense.

It's like saying not believing in Santa or the Big Foot is a religion.

It's also annoying how atheism has become an integral part of the left. I am an atheist and i can assure you, i'm not a leftist. I don't believe in god because of my own logic, not because of politics.
