Well you're definitely not following how Wicca was meant to be. You're supposed to be using magic crystals, casting spells and crap! It's illogical that you don't follow these things. It's like a Christian ignoring the existence of Jesus.

Russia's persecution of religious groups seems close enough to a crusade to me.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

Yes, atheists are more peaceful than theists are. The main reason is :Unlike theists, atheists have no hope after their death. So, they think in their minds "we will have nothing to do after our death; why should we engage in strife..." So, "When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes; all he expected from his power comes to nothing." (Prov 11:7)On the other hand the theists think in their minds "God is so gracious to us that, He has been forgiving our sins. So, let's us sin..." thus sinning becomes a habit of theists when they see the mercy of God with them. So, Paul's (inspired by God) statement comes to true : "But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound" (Rom 5:20). But the theists forget that, God doesn't want us remain in sin for mercy. "Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?"(Rom 6:1)

"When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes; all he expected from his power comes to nothing." (Prov 11:7)Unfair how you choose name the Atheist a 'wicked man' in this bible verse. (also, where are the women, in your sexist bible?)

Dear Brother,I mentioned about most of the Christians i.e. so called. I know that a real servant of the Lord is not comparable with worldly people. I am sorry if you thought I intended all Christians. Really it was so-called Christians. A real child of Jesus is, by no doubt, extremely peaceful which the world can not describe. Thanks.

Side: Atheist are more peaceful

History has shown that religion, not all but some, has caused much violence through out the world. Countless people have died in the name of it. Even now the worlds worst villains kill in the name of their god. So atheist are winning the "non violent fight".
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Religious people more peaceful

Many people have died in the name of religion just as many have died in the name of no religion. It goes both ways. The culprit of the violence? Human beings and their nasty ways. Religion and atheism have nothing to do with animals being violent. And oh yes, we're all a bunch of complex fucks.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

I agree. Both sides are capable and have done acts of extreme violence. But the question is who is More violent. And in the past and present religious has been more violent.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Religious people more peaceful

This really is not about "more or less" (albiet the debate questions). People are both equally capable of such "violence", as well as "non violence". It's a matter of choices and decisions, not what god I do or do i not believe in and how this god want me to live. The person pulls the trigger. The person holds tightly onto that knife. The person uses the power of the sun against "acts of violence". It goes back and forth, constantly. There is no "more" or "less" violence, in this particular debate.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

But there is more or less. Who is more violent in fact, as you said, is the topic of the debate. This debate is about that exact thing. What the debate is not about, is the capability of being violent. So hop on off of that fence why don't cha lol
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Religious people more peaceful

No, this topic is attempting to ask "Are atheists more peaceful than religious people", not "Are all people capable of peace and non violence". I am speaking on the latter; humans are capable of both, and from what I've seen and researched, there are as much violence in the world as there are non violence. So, to say religion has cause more violence/atheists are more peaceful is ridiculous. Religion is a tool used to better oneself, or at least should be considered this way.The people whom use religion in "wrong ways/violent" are making religion look bad, and I'm sure you'd agree. I'm not on the fence, I'm strongly against humans possessing the power of the sun, while I am strongly for humans striving and looking for answers a part from what meets the eye, belief in X, Y, Z god(s) (aka religious)So, in a great sense, people who do not manipulate religion and/or atheism (amongst other ordeals) to heed to their "dirty works" (violence) are more peaceful than anything and anyone whom we're speaking about now, whomever they are.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

It really seems like you complicating a very simple question. I have no idea why you assumed this "Are all people capable of peace and non violence" is the question I was trying to answer. In fact I told you what the topic was. No one is arguing that both sides are capable of both. And no one is arguing that there is as much violence in the world as there is non violence. It is a valid question with 2 valid answer. What is ridiculous about it. Religion has been used to improve yourself, and it has also been used to kill people. That is the part we are talking about. Religion has caused more violence in the world, in my opinion. That makes them less peaceful. And you still haven't answered the question being asked. "Atheist are more peaceful than religious people". You say you are strongly against humans, but both sides are humans. Be more specific.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Religious people more peaceful

To be fair, atheists are a fairly new group. And you cannot lump in every religion into one group and call them more violent, when not all are equal. History has not shown that religion has caused violence, but people who abuse the system to manipulate the masses... and this can be done with anything, not just religion. You take what's popular and appeal to the audience, get them to agree with you. If that requires being a 'man of god' or just 'someone concerned with the environment', so be it.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

Yes religion is not the soul source of violence in the world. And yes people can manipulate anything to harm people. No one is denying that. It seems like everyone wants to beat around the bush and avoid something they know is true. The answer to the question being asked is Atheist are more peaceful. And not all violence in religion was a product of cunning manipulation. Some of it was done under the direct command of God, according to the bible. But every group in history has its dark past. I understand that. And I am not claiming one side is better then the other in anyway shape or form. Im am jus answering the question being asked. Im not even an atheist.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

To be fair, atheists are a fairly new groupThough it is no major crime, I feel obliged to inform you that this is incorrect - every child is born atheist, and has been since there have been humans. In fact, atheism has been around since the moment theism bloomed into the picture. What you meant to say was - "Atheists have only recently been able to profess their lack of faith without being murdered for it."
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

I meant what I said. When I was born, I was merely undecided. My first words were not 'there is no such thing as a god'.So stop trying to sugarcoat the whole thing.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Religious people more peaceful

No, you were not undecided, you were atheistic.You display a basic misunderstanding of the term "atheist". It does not mean that you are sure, merely that you do not follow any set religion. You were born atheist, as was every human being since theism has existed.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

Yeah I don't care what you call it. I was undecided. Whether it's a misunderstanding or not matters little.In my eyes I could only have been an atheist if I were made aware of the concept of a god in the first place, then given the choice of what to believe.Besides, when I called atheists a group, I meant the movement, not your 'well, technically...' definition.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

Well, in the eyes of reality, you were born an atheist just like everyone else. You weren't undecided, you were atheist.What do you mean by "the movement"?
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

Meh, if you were forced to assign a religious position to a human that was just born, it'd turn out to be agnosticism more than anything else.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Religious people more peaceful

Well, agnosticism is really sitting on the fence. If you don't know anything about either side of the fence, that would make you an atheist, wouldn't it? I get your point, though.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people

Just based on population ratio of religious people to atheist, there are many religious people, so the odds are stacked against religious people.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Religious people more peaceful

So, there are many humans in the world. Many humans are violent. Many of them are religious. Many of them are atheists. Therefore, religious and atheist people are BOTH violent. This is the more proper logic.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

Sure, both can be violent, but there are many more disciples of religion, so the likelihood is religious people are more violent.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Religious people more peaceful

The likelihood is that human beings are capable violent creatures. Just as we are capable non violent creatures.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people

I know humans are capable of volience as already aforementioned, but more reglious people equals greater probability.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Religious people more peaceful

Hah, more people in general means more probability for non violence and violence. Do you know what this means? I believe people are generally good people. I believe many atheists do non violent acts. I believe many religious folk do non violent act. I believe we're all capable of both, yet it's matter of choice.It's a greater probability for mankind to both equally, than one side or the other. Even though I believe people are naturally more "good", than "evil".
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

Ceteris paribus, then neither are more peaceful or violent than the other.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Religious people more peaceful

Sure, both can be violent, but there are many more disciples of religion, so the likelihood is religious people are more violent.There are a lore more theist than atheists, or of course there are going to be more violant relgious people, because there are more religious people in general. By the same logic you are using, religious people are more likely to sign peace treaties.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

Atheists don't have a long enough history as being a dominant mindset to attest for how proportionally equal they are to the mainstay of religious people in how peaceful they are.Though, for what little we have seen in our history of 'organized atheism', they do appear to be somewhat more peaceful then the big three monotheistic, organized religions.They don't see to more peaceful then Buddhism and religions similar to Buddhism, but the unfortunate fact is that those religions are not the dominant ones.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

What you say it partially true. However, I cannot accept that religion and religious people are any more or less violent than any other atheist, or non believer, to do harm to others. It's like I punch you in the face and say "I am a catholic by the way.. " versus I punch you in the face "I am atheist by the way..."Whats the damn difference?
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

The way you put that, you seem to be arguing on terms of the relevancy religion has with violence. And in a way, you're correct to question why it's relevant.But, it's relevant because religious views, or lack thereof, effect beliefs and mannerisms, which in turn effects an individuals motivations, reasoning, and reactions to stimuli. If a Catholic devoutly believes that Muslims are devil worshipers, and are evil, and are therefore a threat, then the way he reacts to certain stimuli is totally different then, say, a non-Catholic not having such a belief.The relevance is plain and simply motivation. If someone is motivated to be violent because of a religious view, you could construe that as religious violence, and violence that is not motivated by religious views to be non-religious violence.

Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

Religion is the source of many of the world's problems. I am more anti-theist than atheist, meaning, I refuse to accept any religion or belief as fact. I think that this is truly how the world should work. We do not know the answers, and the fact that we fight over the answers is foolish. We do not know, we will never be able to find out. I live peacefully, acknowledging that I do not know the answers, I do not choose to fight with those who think differently, however a lot of times they choose to reprimand me, and shun me, and call me a 'nonbeliever' These people are definitely more confrontational than I am.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people

Atheists are more peaceful than theists because theists are always in a worry to elevate their deity but sometimes theists do kind of hurt the theists by denying the presence of god. I mean the atheists should be quiet in front of them because we are not fools like the people who have desperate belief in God.

To tell the honest truth, neither religious people or atheists are more peaceful. There are evil religious people, and evil atheists. There are good atheists and good religious people. There is simply no one answer.

Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people

This is a loaded question if I've ever seen one. Still, guess I'll answer.Neither are more peaceful than the other, since they are all people. Wars may be started on religious basis, but they have also been waged for political reasons, as well as other, less intelligent reasons as well. The root cause is the corruption inherent in all mankind. So to say one group or the other is more peaceful is to be lying.I only answer with 'religious people more peaceful' since I can't bring myself to hit the atheist option. My brother is an atheist and he's prone to anger/violence and has cut all ties with our family. So atheists aren't more peaceful than any other human being.So again, loaded question.

Religion does not necessarily reflect the person as a whole. Violence may come from an external source such as way of life, therefore religion is`t as violent as people think.

Actually , it totally depends on the practisers who grasp on their on thinking . In my point of view , I don't see any conflict between the co-existence of these 2 thinkings . Apple appears in the eye of beholder , as a matter of fact, both deliver positive sort of teachings . Neer do I notice that these will coupled with myriads of shortcomings or disadvantages , instead , what do matters is the individual itself . Bias thought , will indefinitely , bring about disastrous and unpredictable conflicts and blood-shredding events . Hence , we should treat both of them in a balanced and just manner .

These people were not motivated on the basis of their lack of belief in god. With the possible exception of Stalin no atheistic tyrants pushed their atheism on the populace, and even in the case of Stalin he was arguably trying to replace mainstream religion with Stalin worship, so you couldn't consider him an atheist. Religious fanatics, by comparison, are driven almost exclusively by their religious beliefs. Admittedly referencing Mao does refute the notion that atheist are a more peaceful people, but that was never my position, anyways. Just that atheism isn't a predominant factor in a tyrant atheist's regime the way religion would be a prominent factor in a religious tyrants regime. if anything, we see atheistic tyrants borrowing themes from religion to make their tyrannical rule more complete, like Hitler did.
Debate: Atheist are more peaceful than religious people
Side: Atheist are more peaceful

Exactly, the essence of religion should not be dictated by those like Hitler, or whomever else that uses religion as a means of conquering and control and to bring war upon peoples; it's not the religious' fault, it's Hilter's fault, it's X, Y, Z person or persons using religion to be "violent" because "that's what they believe in". Still, religion is not at fault for being violent. The person (s) is at fault. It's the way it's utilized poorly by X, Y, Z person(s).

Correlation does not mean causation. There are more religious people out in the world than atheists, so it should be expected that more violent events will be prepitrated by relgious people, just because it is more likely in general that they are religious. When people do bad things, they rationalize what they did with what they believe. While relgion can be used for such rationalization, it is not the only way to rationalize bad things. Look at the nazis. even though they were targeting a religous group during the holocaust, the reasons given for doing so were not relgious themselves. They used psudeo-sciences like eugenics. The point i am trying to make is that religion is not the cause for the bad things in the world. The problem is naturally bad people using religion as excuses.
