    You just need to ask yourself why you feel the need to add all the extra baggage of a “god” when you can do and believe all of those things without it?

      Rhetorical purposes. Religious people are more likely to listen to their god than listen to an atheist.

        Who’s asking anyone to listen to an atheist? All of the things you describe are completely separate from religion. This need to add some supernatural force, with zero evidence, adds absolutely nothing of value.

          Im talking about people I know personally. People who know I’m an atheist and are more likely to consider my point of view if I added scriptures. That’s all
