I’m curious how much of the traffic here is people with religious beliefs.

There’s no rule against it. I just want to understand better. I’m not interested in debating or criticizing anyone’s choice to visit the comm or practice religion.

My questions:

  • Do you practice or otherwise hold some sort of faith? What kind? Is there a comm for it?

  • What are your thoughts on this (c/Atheism) comm? Do you visit because threads appear on your front page, or do you subscribe/visit intentionally? Why do you click on the topics / what kinds of topics do you click on?

  • Do you comment when you read threads here, or are you more of a lurker?

  • Is there anything you would like to express to the members of this community?

Thank you in advance for any responses.

    Honest to god (pun intended), I wish religion and the chruch was not constantly surrounded with controversy. I don’t care about any god, but I think local churches often do provide good service to the community and priests do help people grieve etc. If only the church didn’t constantly try to mind my business, we could be friends.

      This is really a great statement. There are many extraordinary people of faith, I am blessed to have some of them as friends. Unhappily, there are many horrible people of faith, and they give the good ones a bad name.

      Worship how you see fit, just don’t demand the rest of us subscribe to your world view.
