Delafruita:
it sounds good.however,what platform do you intend to employ to achieve this?one lone debate might be ineffective in making atheism acceptable.a good debate might bring personal satisfaction especially when its won,however,the focus should be on the thousands and millions who cant "come out of the closet" of religion to embrace atheism or agnosticism.i prefer to lump both up with the term "humanism" but despite that,a lot of people despite their doubts about religion are afraid of the stigma that would be attached to them if they turn their backs on organized religion.a friend once left islam and embraced ifa worship which resulted in his father disowning him.when the father died,the dude wasnt allowed to attend his burial despite been the first child.

if you want to make a mark,then focus should be on making all religion and even irreligion acceptable.atheists should be free to express themselves and humanism should be freely practised.sometimes,it helps to create a movement or organization of humanists(though i think some exist) so as to create a forum where humanists can face up to their belief without stigmatisation


Thanks for the ideas.

Bludeville: I'll be frank with you , Nigerians are not 'open-minded' enough for that kind of thing. All they would do is point fingers and scream that you're the devil. I respect a man's choice and support when a person refuses to pray or believe in the existence of a higher power and for that, most people view me as a devil's spawn and possessed even though I'm a christian. I wonder what would happen to an atheist if he/she walked into my circles. They would sprinkle holy water, raise crucifixes and shout incantations at you tongue tongue tongue

I 100% agree with your assessment of the situation. However, if we keep living in fear, when will a change come?

did a little digging and there exists a few humanist groups.you could start a group and from what i've seen,you will be a fine leader for such a group.when you decide on that,am sure a lot of people on this board would be interested in been a part of it.even some of the religious who are struggling to break free from the mind-prison would embrace the idea.

all it takes is registration with the CAC,affiliation with international organizations and strong,proactive leadership

I see I said, jealousy I said
Got the whole industry mad at me I said
Then B.I. said, "Hov' remind yourself
nobody built like you, you've designed yourself"
I agree I said, my one of a kind self
Get stoned every day like Jesus did
What he said, I said, has been said before
"Just keep doing your thing," he said, say no more

Let it be clear that what we have are mostly demons,satanists,occultists that sacrifice and drink human blood (including babies) masquerading and presenting themselves as ATHEISTS on nairaland.
Beware ATHEISTS = SATANISTS.
