@philokalia saidits not the Atheists that are the worst. It is the Christians that cant agree on one thing. the diversity among Christians will be their own undoing. ( mainly liberal versus conservative )
Atheism caused massive conflict in the 20th century. Indeed, Christians are still persecuted by atheists in North Korea, Vietnam, and Laos.
Do you take credit for that or is there some reason that atheists murdering 300,000 clergy and imprisoning and murdering millions more in the USSR is irrelevant to your logic?
@philokalia saidNo, of course not, Atheists should also be tolerant and tolerated. What other logic is there?

@indonesia-phil saidIt's not a useful question or piece of logic.

It's also not a response to what I had posted.
You stated:
The problems and lack of credibility start where someone believes that their god is the only god, not only because it's intellectually unsustainable but because it causes conflict, as is amply historically demonstrated.
And I wanted to point out that this was a problem that is just as often caused by atheism that attempts to destroy religion.

@philokalia saidI am a Christian. I travel a lot across America. in a few mile stretch in Ky, there will be 10 Church of God, churches. no 2 will feel the other is right.
So the Christians who cannot agree are the worst? How?
I know this, because i had the time to go to each church . and i asked each of them the same questions. 8 out of the 10 had the same basic philosophies. but "those churches" were different.
Its the same way all over.
Yes, Yes, Yes, there are different little concepts but all walk with the same basic principles.
WE are all Children of the same God. If the Christians dont start coming together soon, our enemy will have a feast. Who will stand against him
@pudgenik saidOnly if what is believed by Christians is untrue, and it if is, no biggie. If it is true, then there isn't any diversity in Jesus Christ.

@eladar saidI appreciate your effort but infowars would not be an improvement if they do not like Summit.
Which demonstrates why anyone tryi ng to carry on a conversation with you is wasting his time.
The Sun also carried this article, which is presumably where Paul Joseph Watson would have found it:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9637619/young-brits-life-lacks-purpose/
I have heard the Sun criticized before, too, but the Guardian, a soruce many people trust, refers to pro-choice legislation as "modernising" abortion laws. I do not put much weight into the criticism provided by the far left of the sources I see.
I tend to not believe much from InfoWars, either, but I do believe in PJW.
@philokalia saidHave you got a link to Yakult UK's survey data, methodolgy etc.?

@pudgenik saidI believe that there should be some amount of liberality between sects and that we should celebrate the aspects in Christ that we do share with others.

You do have a point. Indeed, many are led away from Christ, or stunted in their growth in Christ, because of the in-fighting between churches. Many very regular people just trying to live life right and to have a good relationship with God face a lot of issues because of this.
But I will say this.... I think it is important for people to stick to their principles and doctrine.
