Today? I’ll Take Atheism

I woke up this morning and thought how nice it was to be an atheist. No, my thought had nothing to do with being exempt from Sunday religious services, but that, as an atheist, I am unburdened with the whip-saw action of those of at least two of the Abrahamic faiths concerning the current conflict with Iran. It must especially be difficult to be a Christian and against this latest incursion in the middle east. I’ve almost lost count of how many times we’ve interfered militarily in one or another country’s issues since the end of World War 2. Suffice to say, major and minor incursions do add up. But since I’m not a Christian, I am immune from the arrows of disgust from those Ziobists pretending to be Christians to other Christians that have a disdain for Zionism.

I’ve actually read posts on X that proclaim that a person cannot be a Christian and anti-Zionist. Well, that cuts a huge swath through the “Christian Community” doesn’t it? I mean, especially when you’re accused of being Nazi’s, or Fascists, or, well, pretty much anything that could possibly demean someone based on their religious belief. And we atheists are bad? You anti-Zionist Christians are evil according to the Christian Zionists and also, if you’re a U.S. citizen, traitors. From the perspective of an atheist, this homemade schism is humorous. Usually it is we atheists that take the butt of your disdain but now everyone can see that your religion is primarily based on the right of another religion to have their own state. In other words, some have declared Judaism, a religious belief, an ethnicity deserving its own homeland where others clearly do not see it the same way.

It’s not even clear that all Jews believe in their right to have a state in what is claimed as their ancient homeland, Some recent surveys show support for a Jewish state among Jews is as high as 80% but that doesn’t reflect those that self identify as Zionist which is 50%. In the U.S. we have been propagandized for several generations about the right of the “Jewish people” to have their own country.With that though, only around 55% of Christians identify as Zionist. To some of those, the other 45% are not really Christians. Think about that for a moment.

So not being attached to any religious belief looks pretty good right now. Do atheists have an opinion of whether Jews deserve their own homeland? Some may but I couldn’t find any hard data on atheists being asked that question. It makes sense: Why would you ask non-believers a question that is carefully spun for believers? Simply from a political point of view, I don’t care one way or the other. For someone to say the Jews, have a right to that land based on Genesis 15? That’s a different story.

Anyway, I woke up this morning not feeling like the most despised person (as an atheist) on the planet. It’s now (a. lot of) Christians.
