YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIt's unfortunately too common to see atheists online implying that atheism is always rational, that atheists are logical people, or that religious people are always irrational. I'm an atheist, and I see implications like that as absurd and harmful, so I'm here to counter them. Religious people can be reasonable, just reading the Bible doesn't justify atheism, and you can be reasoned out of beliefs you weren't reasoned into.
Like I said in my last video like this (4 Things Atheists Should Never Say), I see a lot of these sayings and ideas as vestiges of "New atheism" from the hayday of The God Delusion, God Is Not Great, and the Four Horsemen: Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett. Regardless of their source, atheists shouldn't say these things. Like I've said previously in videos like Why Theists Can't Convert Atheists, we should strive for positive, constructive discourse with theists.
