Atheism is more a product of indoctrination than Theism

As my opponent did not mention whether my first argument is to be positive or only rebuttals I will try to do both. I should however note that the Latin rule goes: 'Onus probandi incumbet ei qui deciet, non ei qui negat'. So the Burden of Proof rests on my opponent. R1: My opponent actually concedes something very important. Andy concedes that the world before the 20th century was predominantly theistic, which means that people converted to atheism, they were not indoctrinated into turning atheists. The first point of Pro does not show much that atheism is the product of indoctrination than he blames all evil people for being atheists. He quotes Mao's China, or Stalin's Russia. I would just as easily point out Hitler's Germany where he brutally enforced Christianity. "I am to uphold the supreme race, such were the commands of the Almighty Creator. I must protect myself against the Jews'[1] Both points are not important as the resolution attempts to debate what 'is' not what 'was'. Or shall I quote Afghanistan, and places like Pakistan where (today) a child can be jailed and hanged for converting from their religion? [1]Mein Kampf [2]. http://genealogyreligion.net...[3]http://en.wikipedia.org...R2: I have a problem with my opponent's source. It is a newspaper article and can hardly be taken to be an accurate form of information. My opponent should have provided a journal entry or a scholarly book. While people in China may become Christian, atheism is the worlds fastest growing belief. While atheism is at rate of 6.54, and agnosticism is at 5.54, Christianity is only at 1.32, Islam at 1.97, and Daoism at 3.2. This shows that people dont convert to theism, but theists do convert to atheism. The only conclusion is that the reason people remain theists (since the conversion rate is so low) is because they are born into it. This sufficiently defeats my opponent's arguments. Please tell me where your photos are from, my source is much more respectable. [4]. https://web.archive.org...R3: My previous statistics already show that atheism has actually increased. The population of non-believers/non-religious is near 16%, here are some more sources showing this. [5]. http://en.wikipedia.org...Here is another source which shows how much atheism has increased in religious countries. In Britian where the Church and State is combined atheism has increased from 9.6 to 17.7%, In Denmark from 14.2 to 18.4% and so on. [6]. http://www.scienceandreligiontoday.com...R4: The key word being 'hypothesized'. As you are making the claim you need to prove with scientific journals, and/or psychological sources that this is true. I cannot accept your word for it. Below is a source which talks about how humans dont need the idea of God, nor is it innate. [7]. http://nowscape.com...R5: I am not going to adress the first part because there is no proof. As for the second part, I think that 78% of schools teach Creationism over Evolution. In other news the American students are required to recite the pledge, with 'under God', this causes subliminol messaging. After all was this not the reason the pleadge was introduced in the first place. [8]. http://en.wikipedia.org...In essence the voters should ask themselves, as the proposition who holds the BoP, did Andymcstab win you over. Did he actually show, beyong doubt, with his faulty statistics, that atheism is a produce of indoctrination. One does not even need positive arguments, it is clear with how Creationism is taught, how there is a very low conversion rate from atheism to theism that theism is more a product of one's parents being theistic. Therefore the arguments do not hold. Most of my arguments are found in the answers to the contentions themselves. I remind all of you, that accorrding to the wording of the resolution the BoP is on my opponent. The resolution collapses. Onto you then Andy! Ajab
