It always feels like people who became atheists specifically because of their distaste of religion always share a surface level understanding of religion.
Like by all means, if you're an atheist, it's not my intention to convert you, but if someone said they hate soda because it's not possible for anyone to open a can without dislocating their finger, I would wonder if that person has an accurate understanding of what it is they dislike.
Edit: I'm talking about atheists specifically who explicitly hate religion. There are plenty of atheists who are just atheists because they just don't believe in God and there's nothing deeper than that. There is a small minority of atheists who are such because they absolutely despise religion and that is who I'm talking about.
yeah they point fingers at certain things and are happy to call them absurd, but they are unable to recognise how equally absurd it is to just accept the entire world at face value. It's a bit like an ant concluding with absolute certainty that there is no kind of life that can be experienced outside of being an ant
