You don't need to believe in an imaginary friend and force it on others or kill nonbelievers.

I think this is filed under the wrong category.

Not really all that it's hyped up to be.

Freedom
Cons: it's not a religion, it's a way of life

You are intellectually satisfied (even when you don't know, you know that you don't know and are intellectually honest about it)
Cons: Even in the 21st Century, you have to endure bald being a hair color. How is this a religion?

Logic and reason can be the only avenue to truth. "Faith" requires thinking to stop. Probability is on your side - see Celestial Teapot.
Cons: The world will look down on your amoral outlook because morals stem only from religion...oh wait, they pick and chose which morals to follow in the bible - that means morals are NOT a priori knowledge

Simple, there are no rules or certain way to behave. You don't have to pray or go to a Church and listen to hour-long speeches.
Cons: Is no religion a religion?

You get to sleep in on Sundays. You can act good because it betters the lives around you, not out of fear of hell fire.
Cons: Most would rather their daughters marry a member of the Taliban than an atheist. You're one of the few minorities people feel they have a moral right to hate.

Absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

naumaan recommended this 3 years, 10 months ago

you become more responsible towards yourself...
Cons: You ll see how reluctant are ppl to change ...

sushimustwrite recommended this 3 years, 10 months ago

You can use reason over faith to sort out what you believe.
Cons: Atheism isn't a religion. You may face discrimination in some communities.

Reason can draw you to this quickly. Often more sophistocated (though not inherently.) Not the choice for someone just "picking," usually.
Cons: No exempt status. Rarely respected by anyone religious. Unfortunately, despised by radicals. Fox News hates you. (Could be a pro, up to you.)
