I'd say most the good stuff in religion got slowly corrupted by the mans during the ages
God love you -> God love you if you do good things -> God love you if you do good things, otherwise you will go to hell -> God love you if you do good things, otherwise you will go to hell and suffer for eternity -> Fear going to hell and suffering for eternity so you do good things -> Fear going to hell and suffering for eternity so you do good things and donate to our church
I could continue forever.. -

Denpends what you believe. Personally, I think no, it is no more wrong to be an Athiest that a Jew, Chrisitan or Muslim.
Also, I have an interesting question; Is it better (From a devout christian point of view.) to be an Atheist with Christian morals or a Christian with Self Morals?

It's called Agnosticism. -

Don't your Religious Studies/Education teachers ever tell you it's OK to believe whatever you want?
Mine do. o_o
Anyway, I guess I'm somewhere between Agnostic and Atheist.
Also, aren't religious threads generally deleted to prevent flame wars? Not hinting at anything there... :P
Personally, I think the whole First Cause Argument is flawed in 1 major way.
"Everything needs cause."
"What about God?"
"URHHMMM" *thinks a bit* "Oh, urhh, yeaah... He didn't need a cause... Nope, he's an exception in our own rule. Yeah." -
The-Con:
@Catelite
By half-athiest, I don't mean I am neither or both, I just mean that I use science to explain something before religion. (I know I can't be religious and non-religous at the same time)
This doesn't work though. Science so far doesn't -not- explain anything before religion. It's perfectly possible to trust science and be theistic at the same time `-`; -

Agnosticism is the view that the truth value of certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, but also other religious and metaphysical claims—is unknown or unknowable
Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.
...In other words, Agnosticism is not a middle dotted line between theism and atheism. If you're actually agnostic, you -cannot- be theist, you are by definition atheist.

And yes, I do. But you're not wording it correctly at all. :P Taking science before the exact wording of the bible for example doesn't make you atheist, it just makes you intelligent. Taking a book thousands of years out of context is foolishness. -
*reads thread title*
BAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAH OF COURSE IT ISN'T -
science all the way for me. In my opinion religion is an illusion, but thats just my opinion. Religion can be seen as a metaphysical kinda thing. Basicly, science has more evidence, so thats what I believe.
