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?

I have a lot more respect for agnostics than athiests. When you look into the difference between the two it becomes apparent that athiesm is itself a belief system, namely that no higher power exists, a hypothesis that cannot be proven to be true, not on a definitive nor a personal level.
Agnostics aren’t contrarian for the sake of being contrarian, and I find it hard to take issue with someone who just says “I don’t know”. Because you guys are at least open to the possibilities. It’s a very scientific mindset, and that attitude is good for a multitude of practical purposes.
And while it can be nice to not risk being wrong, I think it takes a certain kind of courage to say that you’re willing to “know” something that you’re not able to definitively prove to other people. But we’re all capable of it. Not gonna pester you about it, just gonna say that I highly recommend giving it a(nother?) shot. Maybe while you’re reading, like you mentioned you would in the other comment, try to keep a mental ear open, see if anything jumps out at you.
If you want proof, you’ll be able to find it for yourself. “How many coincidences before mathematically impossible?”
Exactly. I'm late to the party with much of this, but treat it all with the same scientific method (avoiding mainstream 'psy-ence' helps) and am gradually piecing it all together- Qincidences are building all over... It does help with people being gentle with it- everybody here has been quietly encouraging without force. It's nice, encourages people to find out for themselves. The scientific stuff is really helpful to me- I love to hear of the early discoveries (that we are allowed to see after censorship), it brings religious history to life.
Atheism isn't a belief system, it's the lack of belief in God or a higher power. It's the absence of belief.
I think most people who label themselves as atheists are really agnostics though. If somehow actual evidence of God was found, most "atheists" would switch to the other side and become believers, only real hardcore atheists would continue to deny the evidence in front of them.
Everyone has a belief system. It is hardwired within us. It is just that not everyone puts their faith in the same thing. Some believe in humanity, some science, some in God. Without faith in something, whether it is in our own efforts, efforts by someone else, or in God, we would be frozen to inaction. Everyone has a god to believe in - it is just that everyone defines that god differently. Therefore, Atheism is a belief system - it is just not a belief in God.
This has been a great thread. Thanks.
