This game discriminates against Atheists!

[Ermak-]

i think it does- every religion gives benefits while not having religion does not? Who invented that? I think not havign a religion should increas eur science twice- would be more acurate.

 

[lateralis]

while I do agree in spirit (check the sig ) I think that's, at least somewhat, what is implied by the science boost for free religion. although it would be cool to see a "grown out of the need for fairy tales" civic that allows a double science boost.

 

[wioneo]

As a boy of strong Catholic faith, I am just going to move along.

 

[sirford]

i think that the religous civic "freedom of religion" covers that somehow.

 

[DaveMcW]

You can run an Athiest Theocracy if you really want to keep those religious nuts out.

lol i would love to see that, somebody should make a mod with atheism as a religion, missionaries wearing a leather jacket, mohawk, eyeliner,

by the way i'm just having fun, not bashing of atheists

You're doing both.

To address the original poster, yeah, Free Religion seems to cover freethinkers pretty well.

 

[Norseman2]

At least I think it does. Why does every religion give benefits while not having a religion doesn't? Who invented that? I think not having a religion should double your science, it would be more accurate.

Post corrected courtesy of me.

Now, I'm an atheist and here's what I have to say about that complaint: "Oh noes!!!111"

Yeah. It's a game, dude. A heavily modifiable game I might add. If you want that, you can include it. They did as little as they could with religion specifically to avoid causing a stir. That's why there's practically no difference among the religions, except for names of things and the techs you need to get them.

This thread has got to be a ******* joke. I'm sure that you care so much about not being discrimatory when you imply that the world would be twice as technologically advanced if it weren't for religion. If you are trolling, then you've succeeded in pissing me off. Good job.

By the way, the free religion civic already in the game is very similar to what you're suggesting, that is, without implying that worshippers are backwards idiots.

 

[Captain2]

You're doing both.

no, because i am an atheist, i didnt find it insulting, i just gave a sterotypical atheist, like they give a sterotypical christian missionary in civ 4

please dont only respond to my stuff with three words, all it does is make me explain my position

 

[Norseman2]

i just gave a sterotypical atheist

Let's play spot the atheist!

Which ones are atheists, which ones are Christians?

Hint: They're all atheists.

 

[wioneo]

Tsk, tsk, tsk(I love saying that) I was hoping that nobody would pay attention to this. Digital Boy, something tells me that you are NOT an atheist. Your response is exactly what agnostic atheists would excpect...

EDIT:

There are other religions besides Christianity...

 

[Stolen Rutters]

Define Atheist. No god in your worldview. Confucianism... Check it out.

 

[Captain2]

I said sterotypical, meaning it may not be true but people still see them as it anyway

WW1, Germans were seen as thoughtless killing machines, yet einstein was German

STEROTYPICAL, not "i gave an accurate depection of every atheist i have ever known, seen or met!"

 

[Norseman2]

True. But we're talking about a university in the US. Odds are pretty good you're either a Christian or an atheist.

I'm not an atheist, but I'm not the best Christian. I'm the "luke-warm," agnostic kind of Christian. Not proud of that, but that's besides the point. Suggesting that atheistic cities get a +100% beaker boast just screams "religion is not only a lie, but also completely illogical, and people who believe in god are mindless sheep who can't think for themselves."

When you take into account that religion gives , the implications get even worse: "Well, sure, you're happy, but I'd rather find the truth than be happy."

Ah, but your stereotype of atheists differs greatly from mine. Which of our stereotypes is more often correct?

 

[Captain2]

depends who you ask isnt it, religious people would agree with mine, atheists would agree with yours

 

[Norseman2]

Didn't you say you were an atheist?

 

[Captain2]

dont want to be thread jacking so this will be my last comment

yes i am atheist but i tend to get my sterotypes of what atheists are from religious friends
