Dr Michael Shermer begins by saying that 84% of the world's population believe in some kind of organised religion and how do those who believe in a particular religion know that they have chosen the right one and everyone else has got it wrong?
He proceeds to explain two pieces of evidence that proves that humans made up God and religion and not the other way around. He starts with evolutionary theory saying that we are all descendants from cautious creatures who creator false positive rather than false negatives.
The creation of an agency (an omnipotent being) within a religion is a powerful force of social control. Then the second line of evidence is the what ever social environment were born into we would be exposed to the dominant religion in that environment i.e. India -- Hinduism, Europe -- Christianity.

The emo kid tossing his hair about deserves his own meme.
***** Well someone's emotional.
+DZStudios1 If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have been able to find out it has no meaning; it would be as if there was no light in the universe and no humans with eyes to perceive light, we would never know it was dark. Dark would be a word without meaning. If God does not exist in the universe, we should have never been able to know God didn’t exist. It should be as if our brain never had a perceptive thought about God. The word God would be a word without meaning. Respectfully, if God has no existence in the universe how could the brain of an atheist perceive God enough to ever deny God’s existence? If God exists in the universe, we should expect our brains to have perceptive thoughts about God - and we do - even when denying God exists we are expressing a perceptive thought about God that would not exist if atheism were true.
+rontee24 So in your argument anything you can perceive is true or must exist? Try it! I perceive flying purple whales so they must exist. Sure I could draw what I think this may be or look like but it holds no truth to it's existence. Poor argument my friend!!!
Well, when you are done putting words in my mouth that I didn't say, how about writing a counter-argument to prove my statement wrong?

That's patently untrue.

I can still remember being a little kid when my parents put me in Sunday school. As they taught us about Jesus and god and religion in general,I thought “what are they trying to tell me here”? I don’t believe any of this”.
I’m so glad my parents allowed me to have an open mind and form my own conclusion rather than brainwash me.
JOHN, WHY USE SUCH VULGAR LANGUAGE?
Augustine Hourigan ya I guess I could have kept it clean but something about religion just angers me. It causes so much trouble around the world
This is true description of a fool. Someone who doesn’t believe something only because they cannot see it. You want to know a secret. God is real because he speaks to us. Speaking to us counts as evidence you think we just talk to our head. No
ForeverEdits. Well your 'It's true for me' fallacy is all you have talked about. You have a personal incredulity fallacy, a special pleading fallacy, an ignorance fallacy and a strawman fallacy which are all contrary to the evidence. You have a fallacious belief system and sound ridiculous to the rest of us that go by the evidence. Yes you are a fool when the natural evidence in reality is against you.
Edit: It appears as if you have changed your name to 'White Wolf' instead. Don't worry because I can still keep track of you even when you do show your dishonesty.

You have rejected Him because you love your sin more than God. And twisted the evidence in light of that.
_"I have given you sufficient evidence"_
I've not once in my entire life heard of evidence supporting the supposed existence of one or more deity. And that is why I don't believe in God. It simply makes no sense. And sinning? If religion would make people stop sinning, why is christians priests raping children a constant subject? And to sin means to violate the will of a deity. Without evidence that a deity exists, there is no evidence that anybody can sin. Or in other words: as an Atheist I can not sin because no deity exists.
@@hmgrraarrpffrzz9763 hey mate :)
Many people demand evidence for God. But God says people already have enough to show He exists. And, the thing is with evidence, it is subject to our interpolation. And how we interpret evidence has nothing to do with the evidence. The way we interpret the evidence is based on our foundational beliefs- the beliefs we bring to the evidence. Therefore all evidence is subject to what we already believe. As a Christian My foundation, ultimate authority, is God. And because in these sort of discussions on worldviews we need to start there - with your foundational beliefs. And whether they can provide a coherent justification for a worldview. So let's start there. As an atheist, what is truth in your worldview? This is am important question because it will show what your ultimate authority is and whether it is justifiable or not.
I don't want the convo to get too convoluted so we can come back to your other points later :)
Hope your having a good day

“Darwinian theory is the creation myth of our culture. It’s the officially sponsored, government financed creation myth that the public is supposed to believe in, and that creates the evolutionary scientists as the priesthood… So, we have the priesthood of naturalism, which has great cultural authority, and of course has to protect its mystery that gives it that authority-that’s why they’re so vicious towards critics.” - Phillip Johnson
_"Our strategy has been to change the subject so that we can get the issue of intelligent design - which really means the reality of God's creation - before the academic world and into the schools. This isn't really, and never has been a debate about science or the truth. It's about winning at any cost, and affirming the reality of the God of The Christian Bible, by challenging the domination of materialism and naturalism in the academic arena. With the assistance of many friends I have developed a strategy for doing this which we call "The wedge". But remember, we must avoid debating the Bible and the Book of Genesis at all costs because we do not want to raise the obvious Bible-science dichotomy. Our goal is, "how to win". Phrase the __-pseudoscience-__ argument in such a way that you can get it heard in secular academia and in a way that tends to unify __-other science illiterates-__ religious fence-sitters. You must also avoid getting sidetracked onto other issues (like empirical evidence) which __-our intellectual superiors-__ people are always trying to do."_

I don't follow any religions, but God has shown me that there are no religions since they are man-made. Instead, he has shown me the reality, which is that he died on the cross to redeem us.
*God is indeed beyond religions. Be blessed in the name of the one who died for us on the cross!*
If religion is commonly defined as belief in and worship of a superpowerful entity such a deity or god, then you are practising it. In reality, there were never as few as 2 human beings, 'original sin' is but a concept, there was no need for a (temporary) human sacrifice.

+Edward Azar >> " _I think I am as sane as the next man, not sure about my IQ,.... etc._ "
There is no such thing as God. Man created God in his own image and likeness. We all talk about vampires, santa Claus, and many other superstitions that do not exist, all created by human ignorance and fear. Thiest often like to use the question "something from nothing" as their criteria for disproving the scientific expalnation of the universe but it also applies to the creation of GOD himself. Something from nothing is the response of someone who knows nothing about science or the universe and is simple minded. The onus of proof lies with the believer!
Edward Azar. >> " _There is no such thing as God._ "
*Great ! If that IS true, how do you explain your need to deny......something/someone who does not exist ? :-))) Does it makes sense to you ? Can it be that you base your assumption on what you've been "intellectually fed" all your life ? :-))*
*As I read again your post , I noticed that you assess the world from the point of view of "your five senses". Am I correct ? :-))*
*Beautiful one from Max Planck - founder of modern science, read it carefully:* _As a physicist, that is, a man who had devoted his whole life to a wholly prosaic science, the exploration of matter, no one would surely suspect me of being a fantast. And so, having studied the atom, I am telling you that there is no matter as such! All matter arises and persists only due to a force that causes the atomic particles to vibrate, holding them together in the tiniest of solar systems, the atom._
_Yet in the whole of the universe there is no force that is either intelligent or eternal, and we must therefore assume that behind this force there is a conscious, intelligent Mind or Spirit. This is the very origin of all matter_
