    "I have yet to find an ancient atheist civilization"

    why are you looking? what do you hope find or prove?

    have you looked for "civilizations" that were nominally theistic but some or most or all of the members were agnostic or atheist?

    you Bible humpers are really simple-minded, deluded s.

    Then there are those who need something more than just this in their life. They feel better about things if they think it will get better. They really don't care about if anything can be proven or the science behind it all, kinda like a druggie who knows it's bad for him but simply doesn't care.

    I know some atheists, they are like you and the atheists we see here. All ed up.
    You're the most miserable fat here. Why is that, fathole?
    Your message is all over the place, probably about like your waistline.

    Running a country on religion is smart business. People fall in line better when they fear the wrath of an omniscient being. If people didn't believe in an afterlife, they might care more about getting as much enjoyment as possible out of their time on earth, so they wouldn't work as hard or be as obedient.

    You worship a dude whose mom cucked his carpenter dad. And you do a horrible job of it.

    Someone who can't even figure out why I am even researching this is truly simple minded. Let me explain for you.

    Atheists love to bring up historical religious text to use against the devout. Myself being a history buff, decided to look into atheist history and came to a realization during my research. Hence my op.

    Also, why assume that there is only one side to my research? I thought atheists don't jump to conclusions and just wait for evidence. Oh, wait.... this is indicative behavior from a person who follows a system of right today, wrong tomorrow.

    Atheism is an inefficient way of life. That is shown by history. You cannot argue with history as the histories are indeed fact. The closest atheism has come to society is communism, yet the soviets are no more, china refuses to crack down on religion after watching Russia fall, north Koreans are starving... completely inefficient. Is religion REALLY wrong? History says no. It is capable of some terrible things, but it is also capable of making civilization possible.

    Atheism isn't a way of life. It's a lack of a god belief. It's not a choice.

    Other than your personal god, you're atheist as well.

    You can no more regulate theism/atheism than you can thought in general. After all, belief is a thought process, not an act.

    Perhaps you're referring to secularism instead. If so you need to clean up your approach and clarify what it is you're railing against.

    reducing the soviets and koreans to atheism makes no sense. as i said in an earlier comment, those are failing states because of terrible economic systems and dictatorships, not because of the belief or lack of belief of a man in the sky

    the soviets ed themselves in the arms race... basically getting baited into a -waving contest which bankrupted them. believing in jeebus crust wouldn't have fixed their economic woes

    So since I have a god belief, and belief is a thought process it means that I do indeed have the power to think and use thought.

    Atheists lack that belief, so does that mean that they think less and use thought less since that will have one less belief?

    Dictatorships huh. So of all the civilizations that have tried an atheistic approach have devolved into dictatorships that care more about their own personal pride than that of their people. Interesting, considering pride is also known as one the seven deadly sins and religion tends to attempt to teach humility. Perhaps if they had some religious thought about this, they could have avoided these catastrophes.

    Atheism is an intellectually lazy and limited view of existence. Cynicism does not equate to intelligence. On the contrary, the pursuit of understanding what is not fully known or self evident breeds greater intelligence- emotional, spiritual, and otherwise - that leads to social evolution. Dismissing the possibility of the existence of a higher being or supernatural element from consideration is limiting to the development of thought, expression, and fulfillment of the human experience. Whether one believes or not, considering the possibility of God is a worthwhile exercise that makes us more complete as people. My opinion

    This has been my thought exactly. I was hoping that they would figure it out themselves though. LOL!

    thats dumb. we have theistic dictatorships which suck too. nothing about atheism is innately bad when it comes to a states fiscal policy. it has no bearing on the economy, which is why those states failed anyway.
