| To be honest, brainwashed atheists are even worse than brainwashed religious people. |

No, because they are annoying, and doesn't understand what "mind your own buisness", "I didn't ask for your opinion" or "shut the f... up!" means. I have yet to meet an intelligent brainwashed atheist, allthough I know many intelligent normal atheists. |

I'd like somebody to explain to me how it is possible to be brainwashed into Atheism.
Atheism is the belief that no god exists because there is NO proof that a god does exist, calling someone a brainwashed Atheist is like calling someone brainwashed because they believe in gravity. |

it is not as easy and simple as you put it
you said there is no proof that God exists, but a lot of people would disagree with you about this
there are things that doesn't have easy explaination (like gravity), things beyond the knowledge of the materialistic world
and as someone told me once (when I was an atheist) in a world full of relativities , we need a constant

No, I didn't. I asked for an objective and serious poll were people could vote if they were theists or atheists.

A brainwashed atheist is a person who is fanatically obsessed with yelling out loud that he's an atheist. |

Hehe, good one.
I was raised atheistically. I never even knew there was such a thing as religion until I met religious people or saw them on TV. Is that brain washing?
Anyway, agree that certain atheistic groups are way over the top. Like the ones who ridicule all spirituality and try changing other people's minds. I believe religion is something of a biologically enhanced mass illusion, but no one can disprove the existence of gods... So why try? Religion and science simply don't have anything to do with each other in an educated society, and they intermingle perfectly where fundamentalism doesn't prevail.
I guess you can call an atheist a fundamentalist if he acts like one. And all fundamentalism is irrational. |

There's no proof of The Big Bang
There's no proof that an asteroid killed the dinosaurs
There's no proof that this world is real
There's no proof that a comet struck Siberia in 1908
etc.
There's a lot of things that can't be proved. |

and doesn't mean it's not true, see, it's a world of possibility, you have all rights to believe or not, but you have no right to force this belief on others
