Atheists do you believe everything you are taught in school and don't question anything?

Sounds to me like you never attended any school.

Well how about this?

Christians do you believe everything you are taught in church and don't question anything?

So your church tells you how things happened and you believe it all to be true? They show you the Bible which seem very convincing so therefore you accept it as truth and never question if what you are being taught can possibly be a lie to indoctrinate you? You don't believe there's evil people who may want you to be easily indoctrinated so you can be easily controlled for their evil agenda? You believe everything your church tells you?

LOL! A Christian inplying others don't question anything. That's hilarious. LMFAO!

You believe in something that you can't prove exists. God should be no more relevant to you than the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus.

Atheists do you believe everything you are taught in school and don't question anything?

- WE QUESTION EVERYTHING, THAT IS WHY WE ARE ATHEISTS.

So your school tells you how things happened and you believe it all to be true?

- No, YOU "believe" we study and discover on our own.

They show you textbooks which seem very convincing so therefore you accept it as truth

- No, we study and discover on our own, which is why we are atheists.

and never question if what you are being taught can possibly be a lie to indoctrinate you?

- THAT is religion, never question the answer. As an atheist WE QUESTION EVERYTHING.

You don't believe there's evil people who may want you to be easily indoctrinated so you can be easily controlled for their evil agenda?

- We do, which is why we question everything.

You believe everything your government tells you?

- No, you believe, we think.

If you are thinking the fact that there may be inaccuracies in the things taught in schools or what the government says some how improves the likelihood that a god exists you are using bad logic.

Maybe a whole bunch of stuff is wrong or possibly lies, but god could be just another thing on that list.

At least there is some evidence to support the things taught in schools.

Any information taught to me that makes sense I'll believe until given a reason not to. If it doesn't make sense I'm going to need to be convinced by overwhelming evidence.

For instance if my text book told me that Abraham Lincoln lived to be 56 years old I'd believe it, just on the merit of it being in the book. No reason not to. If it told me Abraham Lincoln was a vampire hunter, I would reject that until presented with overwhelming evidence, since that doesn't make sense.

I don't blindly believe anyone, ESPECIALLY the government.

The material in textbooks doesn't contain extraordinary events and claims.

There probably are teachers seeking to indoctrinate others, but doing basic research on your own makes it pointless.

Theists are the ones that follow blindly and a lot of them seem to have a pathological aversion to research.

You're funny. I reflexively question everything. That's how I ended an atheist.

If you want to leave school uneducated and silly go ahead and thanks for showing so clearly why atheists are more intelligent than the religious!

Research has shown atheists have a higher intelligence than people with a strong religious faith. The difference is 5.8 points according to findings in developmental psychology!

More members of the "intellectual elite" considered themselves atheists than the national average.

Only 7 per cent of members of the American National Academy of Sciences believed in God. Whilst only 3.3 per cent believed in God in the UK’s Royal Society.

Several Gallup poll studies of the general population have shown that those with higher IQ’s tend not to believe in God."

Neuroscientists have conducted the most comprehensive brain mapping to date of the cognitive abilities measured by the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), the most widely used intelligence test in the world.

The results show that the various factors that comprise a high or low IQ score

depend on particular regions of the brain.

The WAIS test is composed of four indices of intelligence, each consisting of several subtests, which together produce a full-scale IQ score. The four indices are the verbal comprehension index, which represents the ability to understand and to produce speech and use language; the perceptual organization index, which involves visual and spatial processing, such as the ability to perceive complex figures; the working memory index, which represents the ability to hold information temporarily in mind (similar to short-term memory); and the processing speed index.

With the exception of processing speed, which appears scattered throughout the brain, the lesion mapping showed that the other three cognitive indices really do depend on specific brain regions.

For example, lesions in the left frontal cortex were associated with lower scores on the verbal comprehension index; lesions in the left frontal and parietal cortex (located behind the frontal lobe) were associated with lower scores on the working memory index; and lesions in the right parietal cortex were associated with lower scores on the perceptual organization index.

The study also revealed a large amount of overlap in the brain regions responsible for verbal comprehension and working memory, which suggests that these two now-separate measures of cognitive ability may actually represent the same type of intelligence, at least as assessed using the WAIS.

It matters not if they are atheist because of this new type of intelligence or get it because they are atheist – it is a totally different and far more efficient

process!!

The people who designed the computer and the programs which enabled you to post that question believed what they re told about computer design and programming.

I am familiar with several Youtube videos, telling the Creation Stories of several ancient cultures.

Did not study them in school.

How many Creation Stories of ANY ancient cultures does anyone actually study, before choosing the ancient Hebrew as the "Least Silly"?

No.

I question everything and want Proof. History books when I was in Grade Schools tells lies. Like C. Columbus proving the world was round. B.S. they already knew the world was round.

Yes of course. Always cross check everything.

Schools are about learning to think for yourself. Which is why the more educated you are, the less likely you are to have a religion.
