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?

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.
And their interpretations of said events. The same men that believe the world was flooded and 2 of every animal made it to an ark which means, contrary to common knowledge Koalas and Kangaroos are excellent swimmers.
So, if you want me to endorse a book that clearly has problematic concepts and center my life around it, pay money to it, preach to others about it... It's gotta first have stories that aren't easily debunked and a god who's looking out for humanity instead of scattering them and confusing them because they build a building he thought might reach him... I guess he doesn't feel the same about NASA and a space station....???
There are many, many reasons I can't take it seriously but I hope that I'm still among friends and that our opinions about these things don't interfere with our collective drive to Keep America Great and protect a free way of life.
