First, paragraph breaks. Please use them.

Second, that isn't how everyone feels. That is how you feel. People do in fact find it utterly hypocritical to see one thing one way and not the other and then claim to have knowledge above anyone else.

Third, aliens are more likely than gods. Mathematically speaking.

This makes no sense. Most people when asked about the literal existence of god say they think so. Americans only fell below 50% very recently...again the literal existence of god (the numbers are similar for the Gallup poll on belief in god). You're drawing a dichotomy that does not exist.

About half of American adults believe in the actual existence of a spiritual patriarchy and here you are trying to claim belief!=belief in existence. Unless you have something to back it up, I'm calling bs.

I'd wager most millenial-and-older atheists probably attended mass regularly as kids. Many are probably baptized, confirmed, had communion, etc.

We just realized it's all bullshit intended for social control at some point along the way.

Same kids who stopped saying the pledge in school as soon as they realized they could.

Zoomer and younger atheists...yeah, they might have not had that experience. Probably because they were brought up by already-atheist (or at least barely-believing, twice-a-year types) gen-x and older millennials.

So...to be clear you think we don't know religion is an irrational response to existential dread? Cause...I have a bridge to sell you.

human response to existential dread

I realize this was likely not intended, but you've ironically removed most of the nuance in why religions came to exist in this statement lol.

The post is actually by a theist that believes in aliens, and wants others to do so too
