If being a theist is a big part of your life, if you do things that you wouldn’t do if you were an atheist then I suggest that your theism might be a big enough deal that you should stop beating around the bush and just subject your views to examination and argument in an open thread or in a dedicated thread for people to discuss issues where they don’t agree with the rest of the community. But that is a recommendation, not a demand or anything.
One day I expect to have this conversation here. Until then, I expect a handful of discussions leading into why I still believe in God. There is a lot of ground to cover before I address the mean questions head on. As it is now, I am completely ill equipped for such a task.
Maybe we should be saying “Yeah, most of us are atheists. But rationality can work for anyone!”. Only to later explain why there is no god. Would that be wrong?
Wrong as in incorrect or wrong as in immoral? I don’t think its wrong under either usage. The only reason I would think it is incorrect is because some people no longer have what it takes to be a rationalist.
