Re: Is this how an athiest thinks? Its what i feel at the moment.
People are affected by the concept of society. If they are ignorant about that then they can read or become informed about how the mind becomes conditioned. If they don't have access to books to become aware of what enslaves them then that should be a priority of our leaders, providing words to point in the direction of what freedom from enslavement is. This is the basic role of religion. Some people believe the actual religious text to be truth instead of the truth that the text points to which is why people fight over what religion is right. If our leaders are selfish or ignorant themselves then new leaders will eventually step into leadership roles as personal freedom is an intrinsic, driving intention. What you say is true I think, but what's the next step or how does this conditioning that society imprints on those who are affected by it, affect you now that you know it's B.S.?
