Is Atheism Hopeless? (feat. Rationality Rules)

from Genetically Modified Skeptic: Religion & Belief Hosted by Genetically Modified Skeptic

Remember to sub to Rationality Rules: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqZMgLgGlYAWvSU8lZ9xiVgUploaded 10-10-17Is Atheism Hopeless? (feat. Rationality Rules)Theists often claim that atheism is depressing, hopeless, nihilistic, and so on. They claim that life is meaningless without God or an afterlife, and that objective purpose is the only kind that matters. I take issue with those claims. With the help of Steve from Rationality Rules, I respond to the questions: Do atheists live meaningful lives? How do atheists create their own purpose? Can atheists be happy?I’m an atheist living a meaningful, happy life, and I don’t want those questioning their faith to hesitate out of fear. “I’m afraid to be an atheist” or “Living without God is pointless” are concerns I’ve heard from my own friends who were questioning. I’d like to lay those concerns to rest for good,SUBSCRIBE for more videos on pseudoscience, skepticism, and atheism!This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.*------------------------------------------SUPPORT------------------------------------------Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkepticPayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkepticAmazon wish list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ls/?(If you purchase any item from my wish list, you will be mentioned as a personal sponsor in a video!)-------------------------------------------FOLLOW-------------------------------------------Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skepticSubscribe: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=geneticallymodifiedskeptic-------------------------------------------SOURCES-----------------------------------------“Afterlife” by TTA: https://youtu.be/eeMoOJpvUlU“Afterlife is Meaningless Without Afterafterlife” by Darkmatter2525: https://youtu.be/CZplzRg6ZP4http://worldhappiness.report/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/StatisticalAppendixWHR2017.pdfhttps://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thelocal.no/20160318/majority-of-norwegians-dont-believe-in-god/amphttps://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/04/14/map-these-are-the-worlds-least-religious-countries/?utm_term=.43f461502c54*This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA
