I’m not religious but I’m a massive Trump and Q follower. I see lots Christians on the board, any other atheists around here?
How do you view the religious factor in the Q movement?

Fair point, agnostic is probably a better term. I really don’t know anything for certain. The thing is that in the Netherlands where I grew up, almost nobody went to Church or attended any religious services.
Atheism isn't the declaritive statement that there is no god. It's the perspective that we don't believe there is a god. Any honest atheist (like myself) will tell you they could be wrong.
It takes a lot of faith to be an atheist
And not believing anything doesn't take faith.
I really am not concerned with where we came from or how we got here... We're here now, that's enough for me.
Some people find it hard to believe that there are those like me who really don't care where we came from or where we're going after the lights go off. It's not really anything I feel I need to know. It really isn't. What's in front of me, right now (observable life), is complex enough without some kind of supernatural implications that we can't verify are true. I don't have the time, nor the desire to concern myself with things I can't prove. I'd rather shoot my bow. If there's a god out there who thinks we all should be concerned about him, well, he's wrong. I have a life to live.
Ok
So you're saying faith can be used to believe in things that aren't true?
Woudln't that then expose faith as unreliable? And yet Christians use it as a means to define the truth?
Sounds like a good way to be mislead; having faith in a thing doesn't make that thing true because people can have faith in things that aren't true.
So when it comes to faith, I don't really find it virtuous and I'm not really compatible with the idea of it.
I used to be an atheist. I get it. I’m saying that we all have to have faith in something. You have faith that your teachers and history books are accurate, none of us were actually present to witness the formation of the earth, or many other things, we rely on what we’re told and choose to believe.
Do you know this for certain?
Truth is undeniable. One must affirm truth in order to deny it.
