[The main cause of Atheism IS Christians.]
So atheism can only exist in a Christian nation, it can not exist outside of Christian nations?

Yes, it can. It´s a particular kind of atheism, but atheism anyway. Remember, there are atheists in the muslims countries or buddist.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with Papabear here. The main cause of atheism is not believing in God, not Christians, Jews, the Holocaust, war, bigotry, or Eggo Waffles.
The statement was wrong, and JohnR7 caught it, but doesn't John's question imply that atheism is common to all cultures and applies to all religions?
Yes, it can. Christianity doesn't have a monopoly on gods. I don't believe in Zeus, Thor, or Vishnu either, along with all the others.
Fucking myopic dickwad. There's thousands of Gods - most of them are far more plausible than your fiction."I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."

The original comment is inaccurate, but I think I understand what is meant by it - at least in the United States, the biggest source of "deconversions" is very likely to be disgust at being associated with wackos like JohnR7. I might have remained Christian out of habit had it not been for screwballs who were certainly main-page-worthy that got me to examine my own beliefs as well by starting an argument with them.
Translation: If christianity wasn't so rampant, then we wouldn't have to distance ourselves from you. Think of it as a quarantine situation; the infected (christians), are collected and kept in a common place (church/bible belt), and the healthy (atheistic) people have to show their immunization papers when they travel. But if the disease of christianity wasn't there to begin with, it wouldn't be an issue, because everyone would be healthy and jebus-free!
I agree with The Watcher. You're assuming that each nation has no idea what Christians do in other nations, you missed the words "main cause", and you forgot that there are Christians in nations that are predominantly another religion.
Atheism exists because no matter what bible-thumping, book-burning, gay-bashing, Big-Brother, holier-then-thou, suicide-bombing fanatics like you try, you will never rid the human race of it's innate curiosity about the world, and it's drive for independent and rational thought.
Is there a nation on this Earth that doesn't have any Christians in it?
The main cause, dearie, not the only cause.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
