I don’t get it.
Ireland became christianised around 432AD and was pagan before then.
(What I like about the meme is that the 8th century is ‘Modernity’ here and that amuses me slightly)
Read some history, it’s a fun time.
Just twelve lads and an ancient consciousness having an absolute mad one on a Tuesday night. You love to see it.
Y’know, instead of just swapping one superstition for another, maybe chase enlightened atheism. ;)
Atheists are dreary and dogmatic. Look at the mad craic in the 2nd picture.
nothing more dogmatic than religion though.
paganism is not atheism.
There are lots of dogmatic things. And we’re talking about non-belief-based religion in this case.
i tought religion was belief-based by definition?
No not at all.
It’s largely about practice. Community. Art. States of consciousness. Good conduct.
Belief can be a fetter that holds you back, more often than not.

There is no scholarly definition of ‘religion’.
You mentioned things that are not related to religion at all, that both religious and non-religious people do.
I agree belief holds you back, thats probably a central reason why most atheists are atheists.
Atheists’ dogmatic commitment to their atheism often messes them up; I’ve seen it.
Belief is not related to religion, and is something both non-religious people (dogmatic politics, dogmatic personal belief) and religious (Muslim, atheist) people do.
Reject belief-based religions like Xtianity and atheism. Retrurn to ecstatic and noble practices.
As the Buddha said, “If you were not to adhere to this view — so pure, so bright — if you were to not to cherish it, not to treasure it, not to regard it as ‘mine,’ would you understand the Dhamma taught as analogous to a raft, for crossing over, not for holding on to?”
