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?

Jedi handwave. Just because they didn't understand modern cosmology doesn't mean they couldn't speak the truth. Nothing in the Ancient biblical text contradicts modern science anyway, so this is really a moot point and designed to smear the authors of the OT.
Yeah, okay, Dr Evil.
The assertion that the NT was copied from earlier Egyptian/Babylonian/Zoroastrian myths has been debunked thoroughly.
ALL of the manuscripts that we are in possession of regarding those ancient myths POSTdate the New Testament documents. Which means, they most likely copied from the NT writers. Mainly because Christianity (at the time) was THE most popular and fastest growing religion. These flailing religions, most likely, wanted wanted a piece of the action, so they anachronistically wrote the Christian themes into their own narratives.
It's funny to me how I'm the one with the outlandish ideas... But yours (talking snakes, donkeys, being swallowed and living in a "fish," a global flood, the ark, the dead rising again, zombies (Mat 27:52-53) etc etc etc... are perfectly acceptable.
As far as dates go, there are texts that predate the Bible the same concepts. None of the data is convincing enough to me. Hearsay may be good enough for you and good enough in a court of law, but in the realm of provable science, it's meaningless.
These are the tired, old rebuttals straight from the New Atheist's playbook. Try reading something other than Sam Harris or Christopher Hitchens. Something with some substance. You should really look into Anthony Flew. He's an Atheist with real substance, rather than vitriolic assertions and misunderstood ramblings of ancient literature's styles and structures.
If you can believe that the Universe came into existence from nothing (and I mean Nothing - not a vacuum like Laurence Krauss proposes), then you've kind of already believed in the biggest miracle of all. All other miracles after that become small fry stuff.
You only have three options:
1 = Atheism 2 = Theism 3 = Anti modern Science
This is the problem with your religion. It's tyranny. I'm to conform or else. There is no opting out. I exist and therefor I must play the game. I better make the right decision or I'm doomed forever... Did I sign myself up for this? Nope.
Which brings me to my question that no Christian has yet answered correctly... I have my theories... But here goes.
Do you know why there are no non-believers in heaven?
Truth is tyrannical to that degree then. 2+2=4. Not 5 or 6 or 7 etc...
You either believe the singular truth, or your wrong. Truth is, by definition, exclusive.
Because to force you to be in Heaven, when you, in fact, didn't want to be there, would be considered Hell for you
