A church, like a normal company, should be appropriately taxed. Either tax churches, or stop taxing other companies.
And personal liberty is the most important value. The rights of a person come before the "rights" of the collective.

How much % of atheists do you think want to reduce taxes?

Atheism as a cultural phenomenon is already over.

It's been dead for a decade. Any merit OP's had is now irrelevant because you missed your chance to do anything about it.

Focus on winning the next battle, not the last.

Atheism was a means to minimize the influence of the church on culture & state, not an end in itself. It succeeded in legitimizing nihilism and marxism for mainstream debate.

because many on the right refuse to admit that religion is fucking retarded. so people think everything else the right believe in is retarded and thus they flock to the left.

religious fags hold the right back

Why do people feel the need to "come out" about opinions?

>>139638554
Even if that's true , it already happened. The flashpoint where something could have been done about that is already past.

I don't think it's true; I think you have the causality reversed: Western materialism/ Nihilism legitimizes atheism.

>asking why leddit is being leddit

you're on, at this point, a cultural marxism breeding ground wondering why there's cultural marxism.

Atheism is the cause of current state of the west

Because they need a surrogate activity to satisfy the power process. Religious people use religion as their surrogate activity, but atheists need something to replace religion with.

>Human beings have a need (probably based in biology) for something that we will call the “power process.” This is closely related to the need for power (which is widely recognized) but is not quite the same thing. The power process has four elements. The three most clear-cut of these we call goal, effort and attainment of goal. (Everyone needs to have goals whose attainment requires effort, and needs to succeed in attaining at least some of his goals.) The fourth element is more difficult to define and may not be necessary for everyone. We call it autonomy and will discuss it later (paragraphs 42-44).

>Everyone has goals; if nothing else, to obtain the physical necessities of life: food, water and whatever clothing and shelter are made necessary by the climate. But the leisured aristocrat obtains these things without effort. Hence his boredom and demoralization.

>Nonattainment of important goals results in death if the goals are physical necessities, and in frustration if nonattainment of the goals is compatible with survival. Consistent failure to attain goals throughout life results in defeatism, low self-esteem or depression.

>Thus, in order to avoid serious psychological problems, a human being needs goals whose attainment requires effort, and he must have a reasonable rate of success in attaining his goals.

The west was in its current state before atheism became popular though.
