  • Leonard Adams converted to Catholicism.

  • The black rapper Charlie Chek'em is very anti gay , even using the word "faggot in his songs, The Athest community has bac away from that slime bag or will lose LGBT's. If Checkem is invited to play his music at one American Atheist event I will go public as a gay leader to get LGBTs to back away from any and all Atheist groups that accept him

  • @Clemburke1111 I am very aware of what happened with Charlie. Those events occurred after this video was made. To my knowledge, Charlie has not been invited to any atheist events since it became public knowledge that he was a raving homophobe and proved so on a thread at Atheist Nexus (as a member of the advisory board for Atheist Nexus I voted in favor of banning him).

  • Comment removed

  • Stop calling yourself a "black atheist" and start calling yourself an "atheist". Perhaps we should begin calling people "redhead atheists" or "blonde atheists" too.

  • @olavm91 i agree

  • @blairscott on min 4:18 no bueno "forced to do it forced to evolve" not wanting to misquote you or take anything out of context, if you could please elaborate. sounds to me as if your saying Africans where forced to evolve?

  • @lionsheart666 Evolve socially and religiously to adapt to their new environment. I am not talking about biological evolution.

  • this guy is way off base he needs a real african slap.i would like to get in contact with Mr.Leonard Adams (ex-preacher), can you make that happen

  • ok ex-preacher the bible instruct us to WORK not seek some outer source for help it says faith without work is DEAD. The bible also say Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom: if you don't know how ants get down u should read that scripture(proverb 6) read the whole thing don't be lazy. Is that African map on ur shirt bruh, it looks kinda spread. JOKES hahahahahaha...WHO SAID JESUS WAS WHITE?LOL.what does it matter if the Africans that were here stuck to their religi?

  • Funny thing is that Christianity itself resembles Stockholm Syndrome

  • The easiest way to point out a believer on Youtube? Check for spelling/grammatical errors and ad hominem attacks in their reply.

  • @schclum that was the most retarded thing i have ever read geez. your a idiot lol.... LOSER!!!!!! Everything you say is false.. and why are you bringing up Gays?? I dont see anyone on this board talking about Gays.... Im talking about Slavery cant you read ?lol....Where did you come from anyway ? I was typing to

    blairscott....Anyway I wont be commenting to you any further because i see you cant read.. and i dont speak idiot

  • @oWiSeKiDo you are an immoral cunt hiding behind religion. How the FUCK does it affect you if people practice homosexuality? Imagine if you were born gay you prejudice bastard, imagine the trouble and confusion you'd have, and then stupid bigoted judgmental rednecks like you claim that because gays do something they want to do that causes no harm to anyone and makes them happy, you label it a sin, because you're prejudice, you judge a man by which gender he's interested in. You call irreligious

  • Yall Atheist Arguments are totally Flawed and False because their So Many Africans that are in Africa that didn't have White Racist over their Ancestors and They Still became African Christians over in Africa and some Die for Christianity over there...So this Video is a bunch of Flawed Lies that can be easily Debunked with True Facts. This Black man in the Video Clearly has a problem with Black people and you can tell he doesn't hang around black people like he should to have talked so hateful

  • @oWiSeKiDo

    LOL... You're an idiot! You do realize the slave trade was out of Africa and that missionaries were over there "converting the savages," right? But, why let facts get in your way.

  • @blairscott Just so U know the bible condemns Slavery 1 Timothy 1:9-11 We also know that the

    law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars . If the Bible didn't tell them how to treat their slaves .No blacks would probably be in America today. for me to give you the Truth

  • @oWiSeKiDo

    LOL: 1Tim 1:10 has different versions. "Manstealers" (KJV, ASV, YLT, DR), "slave traders" (NIV), "kidnappers" (NASB, AB, CEB, DT, HCSB, GWT, GNT), "slave sellers" (NCV, NIRV), or no mention of it at all (WNT, TM), "steal people" (WENT).

    The consensus seems to be with "kidnappers," which is not the same thing as slave traders. The use of "manstealers" is the same as "kidnappers." Only modern versions trying to play down the Bibles role in slavery translate it to "slave traders," etc

  • @oWiSeKiDo

    Look here: Leviticus 25:44-46, Exodus 21:2-6, Exodus 21:7-11, Exodus 21:20-21, Ephesians 6:5, 1 Timothy 6:1-2, Luke 12:47-48.

  • @blairscott LOL.I think your common sense will eventually tell you that kidnappers, Manstealers, Slave Sellers,and enslavers are all the same as Slave Traders lol... Even .The English Standard Version uses enslavers.. So it's right infront of your face so clearly that the bible condemns Slave owners and Slave Traders. But ive learned with alot of Atheist even with the truth in their face they still want to make the bible look bad.. but it wont work To many Atheist come to Christ on a daily basis

  • @oWiSeKiDo and one more thing. Although you believe in god and i certainly dont, for pointing the finger at peaceful gays and atheists, (You just disturbed my peace with your bigotry)You are sinful, and i am not. Why dont you read those comments. Think about them. Becoming and atheist is to become free, and to enjoy life for what its meant for, the little things. Because nothing really lasts forever. I was once a christian, but now that im atheist, theres a whole universe out there. im free.

  • I am a black atheist....religion is the black culture so it is much more difficult for us to rid this idea....also the church is still powerful in the black community and it is difficult for blacks to go against this powerful machine.....i am proud of my lack of beliefs and let it be known daily....i look forward to the day when more blacks open their eyes and see how religion was forced upon us and how we continue to keep the religion of our ancestors slave masters......

  • Just cause a White Slave Owner with No loving heart Said he was a Christian Doesn't mean he is a Christian..For Example if Hitler said he was a Good Person you wouldn't believe him. So Why believe him if he said he was a Christian? LOL.It's the Black Slaves that showed the Slave Owners How to be a True Christian by being Humble enough to Forgive the Slave Owner. So it was some of the White Slave Owners that adopted their beliefs from Black African Americans that were the true believers in Christ

  • @oWiSeKiDo

    Oh, so they weren't "True Christians," even though the Bible explicitly told them how to treat their slaves?

    But why let facts get in the way of stupid beliefs.

  • @blairscott There are plenty of Places in Africa that are prodominately Muslim but yet and still U have Africans that are willing to die for Christianity without ever seeing a White Slave Owner in their life. Your Arguments are totally Flawed and False. I would hope you dont coward up and take my comments off your page like some atheist do ..I actually feel you know the truth but you pretend to act like you dont ..I've seen alot of people like you. and i never Ignore Facts.U dont know everything

  • @oWiSeKiDo

    "..U have Africans that are willing to die for Christianity without ever seeing a White Slave Owner in their life."

    Yes, that would be the difference between Africans help as slaves in America and other Christianized nations versus those that didn't. You're confusing our discussion about the black community in America: specifically those help as slaves by white Christians, versus those in the rest of the world.

    But I don't expect you to get that.

  • @blairscott God is not just gonna wipe people off the face of the earth like he did with sodom and gommorah..If he sees someone is trying and is not perfect...Alot of atheist get mad about what God did to Sodom and Gommorah.. So why aren't you happy God didn't just wipe slave owners off the face of the earth ?? I feel he didn't do it because he saw atleast a number he was pleased with that were trying to follow his word..But in Sodom and Gommorah he couldn't find 20 or 10 people that were trying

  • @oWiSeKiDo yeah, what have you done thats good huh? Mistreated gays and open minded atheists coz you want a reward in imaginary heaven? well then you are the indulgent one not "sinners", i drink and shit, because it makes me happy. but i also help people in life not for me but for others. what you do doesnt help anyone or achieve peace and you do it to impress a god that you imagined in your own stupid little mind BECAUSE YOU CANT STAND BEING HUMBLE AND EMBRACING THAT YOU DONT KNOW EVERYTHING

  • @oWiSeKiDo you call irreligious people immoral. OH YEAH? well if we're immoral then why dont we need a stupid bible written by CAVEMEN to actually REMIND US NOT TO KILL? Im "unholy" but i treat others how i want to be treated like a good man. not you. you, ARE A POSER , you treat people like shit based on wether they are attracted to males or females. cunt. but you think that because you believe in a magical invisible man in the sky who grants wishes youre a better person. You have no soul.

  • @blairscott I said some weren't true christians.I definetly understand that Christians aren't perfect.. But some of the slave owners im sure you know..were very harsh too their slaves...and i know they didn't listen to all the instructions on how to treat their slaves..So thats why i say all weren't true Christians..think deeper.. Just because the bible says how to treat slaves doens't mean it condones slavery..man did what was right in their own eyes. and in Judges theirs more examples of this

  • @oWiSeKiDo why do you have to believe someone who says theres a god? you hallucinate god my friend, and youve lost your mind. God doesnt exist and thats why there is no real sign of his existence other than people. people fill the void. maybe if you accepted that there might be bigger answers to the universe than A WIZARD DID IT ALL, you wouldnt waste every sunday morning in church.

  • @oWiSeKiDo"if Hitler said he was agood person u wouldn't believe him." That's because we have history books however the Germans who elected Hitler did believe him when he said he was a good person & I'm sure Hitler himself believed he was a good person.The white slave owner & all the christians who have done &do horrendous things to people ARE "TRUE" Christians -they accept Christianity to be true therefore they are true Christians.Every1 makes up their own version then claims it 2 b the truest.

  • @nowgleaning That was a terrible Analogy.You cant tell me there weren't Germans and Jews that heard Hitler speaking didn't know he was wrong just because their were no History books on him yet..lol That sounds Retarded..and ...Do you realize you just told me that people that do horrendous things to people are Good People? You sound like you actually believe Hitler was a good man....Is that what you think?.If not....Then give people more credit than what your giving them.

  • @oWiSeKiDo Yes, I agree, your Hitler analogy was terrible. What sounds "retarded" is your interpretation of my comment - so let me try to help you out a bit (brace yourself - I think this is going to be quite long, lol) 1. I did not say there weren't people who believed Hitler was evil - my point was that Hitler was democratically elected; this wouldn't have been possible without the MAJORITY vote. Do you think the MAJORITY who ELECTED Hitler believed he was evil? Do you think Hitler believed...

  • @oWiSeKiDo ...he was evil? I have given people the credit they deserve. They ELECTED Hitler of their own free will. Did the Nazis think they were the goodies or the badies? Answer: they thought they were the good guys – even while doing the most evil things - just like the white Christian slave owner or the KKK & their lovely burning cross.

    2. At no point did I say people who do horrendous things are good people. What I said was...

  • Christians who do horrendous things are still Christians because they identify as such & believe Christianity to be true. You don’t get to pretend that they aren’t true Christians - THEY ARE. Christians do bad things because Christianity (& other religion) DOESN’T WORK. Religion was invented by man; that’s why the religious can arbitrarily decide what is true & what isn’t. They change the rules to suit their agenda. God is simply an excuse for one group of people to force their will on another

  • @nowgleaning Im just speaking facts for others...Not you All we can do is guess on whos a true Christians until the Judgement day comes because like the bible says many will say Lord Lord did we

    not prophesy in your name,and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles.That scripture

    alone shows everyone isn't a true Christian Just because they say it. So just because Hitler may have

    said he was a Christian doesn't mean he really was just like Slave Owners or Traders..Simple

  • @oWiSeKiDo How is it possible to just be 'speaking facts' when 'all you can do is guess'? Fact is not subjective. "..the Bible says..." -The Bible is hearsay. This might be your biggest hurdle; not understanding that the Bible/The Scripture IS NOT FACT. It's anecdotal at best. There's no such thing as a 'true' Christian,or Muslim,or Catholic, or any other made-up absurdity. As I've said, everyone claims their truth is the 1 real truth, their God is the 1 & only real God. In reality, it's ALL BS.

  • @nowgleaning Hitlers Regime did evil in broad day light when they knew those that see it cant stop it...think before you speak lol..and i dont care if you dont feel the bible is fact...Im not tryin to convince you..i made that clear already..The bible is fact to alot of people. U.S. Presidents. love to say God Bless America at the end of their Speeches expecially Obama. So im sure you wouldn't tell the ones in the highest office that what they said at the end of their speech isn't fact lol

  • @oWiSeKiDo Hitler's regime did it's evil in daylight b/c it was allowed to. After Kristallnacht the whole world knew exactly what was going on in Germany but continued to turn away jewish refugees & continued to appease Hitler. They didn't want to get involved (just like the non-jewish germans who elected Hitler) & didn't take action against him. As a result Hitler's power grew. This is one of the main lessons we got from WWII - indifference can kill & silence gives consent. also the reason...

  • @oWiSeKiDo why the quote "all that's necessary for evil to triumph is 4 enough good men to do nothing", is used so often when studing the Holocaust.

    I didnt think u were trying to convince me about the Bible. Like I said b4 fact isn't subjective - just b/c a lot of people 'feel' the Bible is fact doesn't mean it is.

    As 4 the way American Presidents end their speeches - Fact is used to prove something to be real, sayings like "God bless America" r used to express a sentiment. I Obama asked me..

  • @nowgleaning If Atheist want to Take God off of Money and take God out of the Pledge of Alligiance Im quite sure It's only lies if you say you dont have a problem with U.S. Presidents saying God Bless America lol How Petty are you guys really?and I dont agree with any thing you say about Hitler. Hitler knew he was evil and so did the people that elected him. White People in America knew it was Evil what Other Whites Did to blacks in Slavery This is why Some whites help hide blacks when escaping

  • @oWiSeKiDo Oh and, I never did say I didn't have a problem with U.S presidents saying "God Bless America" although this is not as great a problem as god being added to the Pledge of Allegiance. In any event, this is not a very major issue to me personally, all politicians of full of sh*t either way; so the fact that they might say something that isn't true or accurate is to be expected:)

  • @nowgleaning I Totally disagree with you on everything l ..And you already admitted that your an Atheist that has a belief and now your trying to back track...But thats fine...Im use to Atheist doing that all the time... and Oh Yea ..There is Evidence of God.. You just have to Stop being Lazy and Go Do Research and stop asking everyone to show you Evidence ... and im sure your gonna tell me you've done research but you just need to do alot more lol Later

  • @oWiSeKiDo Of course I have beliefs or as u strangely put it a belief but it's certainly not in God hence the Atheism - LACK of belief - IN GOD. Wow! I'm beginning to feel like a broken record. It's amazing how u miss the point each & every single time. There is no evidence of God/s...you just have to stop being crazy & go do research & stop blindly swallowing everything your slave master tells you. I don't need to prove God exists; you're the one who believes in him - burden of proof is on you.

  • @nowgleaning PS it's getting old for White people to try to anger me with Slavery by saying im following my Ancestors Slave Masters lol...I dont have any Hate towards any Ancient White Slave Master...Blacks have forgiven them long ago..hang it up already..You have Blacks in Africa and African Americans that never had Ancestors that were Slaves that proclaim to be Christian like our President now Today BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA..He's a Christian that never had Ancestors that had a Slave Master lol

  • @oWiSeKiDo The slave master I was refering to was God; the ultimate slavery is Mental & Spiritual slavery. and it is applied on people of all races.

    The reason why there're African christians is b/c Christians specifically went to Africa with the intent of converting them. They didn't need slavery for successful indoctrination - poverty was an excellent substitute.

    Btw, I'm not white and I wasn't trying to anger you.

  • @nowgleaning We can agree to disagree so seeya

  • @oWiSeKiDo I've genuinely tried to exchange some ideas with you but, yes, we've clearly reached an impasse here - especially since you want to accuse me of being a liar (not to mention your obvious lack of critical thinking ability) but that's alright, it's no skin off my nose; I'm just glad that our little exchange has finally come to an end - Adios.

  • @nowgleaning Yes im glad our exchange has come to a close since you admitted you lack critical thinking skills and you have no concept of reason like true Christians ...Adios

  • @oWiSeKiDo PS the Bible does not count as research or proof.

  • @nowgleaning Wow Finally an Atheist admits that they have beliefs lol.. You would be shocked how many Atheist say They dont have a belief. &The burden of Proof isn't on me or any Christian because..We dont have to make you believe ..You have to study and show yourself approved. and like i said stop being Lazy and do your own research. and I disagree the bible does count. But we can Agree to disagree .;I put these Comments up for people that are humble enough to seek God with their whole heart.

  • @oWiSeKiDo They don't have a belief IN GOD; hence the lack of belief. The rules apply to everyone, both theists and atheists. Lack of evidence leads to lack of belief. I'm really not sure how to make this any more plain.

  • @nowgleaning You didn't anger me at all lol and it's funny you say all these lies without even thinking and Even if your not white which i dont believe..It's not surprising other race of people have this type of ignorance towards blacks.& they do have a Belief in God..You have Africans that believe in God because of hearing the Word and You have White People that believe in God because of hearing the word..Whats your point? ROMANS 10:17 Faith comes by hearing. But if you dont believe thats you

  • @oWiSeKiDo ...whether I believed in his God, I would absolutely tell him that God is not a fact, if I told him otherwise I would be lying. I don't care if you're the President of The United States or the Queen of England, I have no intention of blowing smoke up your arse or compromising my beliefs; I would think you feel the same way.

  • @nowgleaning Funny I've spoke to alot of people that dont believe in God and they always tend to tell me Atheism is not a belief lol.. But i guess you atheist can never agree on anything..You guys are always fighting amongst one another and try to accuse Christians for doing so all the time..And Just because you say God is not a Fact doesn't mean it's truth.. lol I bet Atheist will never get U.S. Presidents to stop saying God Bless America at the end of their Speeches ..Atheist are so Petty

  • @oWiSeKiDo That is correct. Atheism is lack of or disbelief. But again the issue here is that you don't seem to understand what fact is. As an individual I feel certain that no god/s exist. It is inconceivable to me. however, as an Atheist, I am able to understand that just because I feel something doesn't make it a fact. There is NO EVIDENCE for the existence of god/s therefore the existence of God/s is NOT a fact.

  • @oWiSeKiDo I haven't come across the 'fighting' you speak of between Atheists; but I'm sure from time to time they may differ in opinion about certain concepts. Different atheists will have different interpretations; this is perfectly natural - it's called freedom of thought & individuality - something the religious indoctrinated are unfamiliar with, lol.

    BTW if you want a look at pettiness you should read the 2nd last sentence of your comment.

  • Your example of African American slaves teaching white Christian slave owners “true” “Christianity” is a fantastic example of religion and how it doesn’t work - the people who were the least exposed to Christianity were more decent & capable ethically than those who had been living with it for hundreds of years. lmfao.

  • @nowgleaning I agree your Hitler Analogy was Terrible because i believe the majority that voted for Hitler knew he was Evil and i Know Hitler knew he was Evil .This is why everyone in Germany started hiding everything like Graffiti against Jews and all their segregation posters. just cause they knew the world would have their eyes on them when the Olympics came to Germany. When people do evil they know they are doing evil .This is why All Murderes Sneak while doing their evil deeds..Simple.

  • @oWiSeKiDo The Hitler analogy was yours not mine. Once again you're completely off point. There is a huge difference between murder & genocide. Yes, murderers sneak b/c they know what they do is illegal/evil but genocidal regimes do their evil in broad daylight. The Nazis massacred the Jews with the majority's consent. In my opinion you're wrong about the German people and their election of Hitler. The masses always adopt a sense of morality. The germans believed that they were good people...

  • @oWiSeKiDo...therefore they couldn't have believed Hitler to be evil - because they elected him. Electing a man you know to be evil would be an admission of your own evil. They thought the Jews were evil & that Hitler was their saviour; he was going to save Germany from the Jews & the Allies & restore her to her original 'glory'.

    I think you'll find the issue of morality/history/religion is actually....Not simple.

  • @nowgleaning and The Hitler Analogy was yours, and it's clear no matter what religion you are .If you have a loving heart your still gonna have to come through Jesus in order to get to the Father. No matter where anyone grew up and what they were born into. It's fact theres Christians all over the world that converted even when they were brought up to be hindu, muslim,or buddist etc.Do you have a problem with are money saying in god we trust ? lol or what about God in the Pledge of Alligiance?

  • He explains it beautifully! Love it!

  • I LOVE MY BLACK Atheist !!!!

  • Black Atheist on the rise !!!!!!

  • religions are a BUSINESS-they would NOT exist if they couldnt make money off PIMPING WOMENS BODIES into marriage and fathers rights- richest pimps on earth-thats why they ATTACK and murder massage parlor owners and women who have their OWN sex business BUT DONT GIVE A CUT TO THE PRIESTS- all PURELY BUSINESS and squashing the COMPETITION- name me ONE religion which DOESNT rely on MARRIAGE-marital sex-slavery business- even gov define religious leader as "a person qualified to perform marriages"

  • I do not need your stupid opinion.....It is clear that this Black man has fallen victim to lies being spread for the purpose of shifting blame from the criminals to the victims.There is no such thing as both sides being equally guilty.This attempt at rewriting history is worse than the crime of slavery itself and any Black person who willingly participate in it is a fool and a traitor.The people who built the ships and traveled to Africa for the purpose of capturing Africans are the guilty ones

  • Came out on - seriously - December 25. Talk about liberating!

  • We didn't exist before we were born, and we won't exist after we die. Live with it.

  • Came out as atheist on - LOL - Christmas Day 2010! That said, I would be remiss if I didn't thank the Unitarian Universalists for allowing me to come to terms with something that had been troubling me since reading THE CULTURE OF MAKE BELIEVE by Derrick Jensen: the existential impact of Manifest Destiny on indigenous peoples and their relationship to the Cosmos. At least, from my nascent perspective on this, the Indigenous People here had gods of RECIPROCITY.

    

  • I would appreciate it very much if Black people such as Mr Adams would stop spreading the lie that Black Africans sold each other to salve merchants.Even if that was to have happened in a few occasions,these instances do not excuse the people who made these acts possible in the first place.Does he not understand that he is encouraging Black on Black hate by saying that?White slave merchants are the ones who built the ships and traveled to Africa fo get the slaves.

  • @eoriol1955 Both are guilty and that's made clear in this video. Ofcourse the whites are the puppet masters but he's explaining the manipulation of the white man and his religion.

  • We are looking for black atheists to help us with our Black History Month edition of American Atheist Magazine! If you are interested, contact bscott@atheists.org.

  • @blairscott

    Just started a new TV show in ATL. Black Atheist of Atlanta. Give us a call.

  • excellent.......i,m here proud atheist and black ex-muslim

  • excellent.......

  • Aren't you talking about 'african american' atheism? I highly doubt black people growing up in norway have this issue.

  • @stiaa04

    There's a push to get rid the the "hyphenated" titles, since most blacks living in the United States are Americans, and not immigrants. Perhaps "Black Americans" is what you're looking for.

  • @opmike343 yes

  • I don't find it at all hard to understand why church is so strong in the black community. For hundreds of years it was the only thing to hold on to. Hope of a better afterlife because the ones they lived was so horrific. That and they were not taught anything else. The real tragedy is now that we have so much information about history at our finger tips, it is a sad joke that there are still some many people that cling onto this nonsense. That's the power of indoctrinated belief.

  • where are all of the white atheist?

  • @scarletngold check richard dawkins youtube channel :p

  • I let go of the green donkey that flies across the moon at 20, but my family grudgingly understands. 41 now.

  • Leonard Adams is HOT!

  • hum....where are the white atheist?

  • @scarletngold they're everywhere. don't worry about it.  Black atheists are pretty freaking hard to find though

  • @scarletngold Right here. There's atheists in every color.

  • I to am a black atheist. Im 17 years of age. To be honest i never really believed in god. I've always be skeptical about religion. It's good that i saw through the bullshit now instead of later.

  • @Scarlomane

    Amen, brother, haha. 

  • Also, if any institution is strong enough to get a people to betray their own, then something is not as it seems. It isn't religion, but a few individuals who have the ability to persuade a group to do so. I hate to say it (actually, I don't mind saying it because it is what I believe), but when you look at it that way, then the notion of a sinister cabal of persons...an "Illuminati", if you will, seems a lot more realistic. I would suggest Michael Tsarion for further research.

  • I've shed Islam and all religions, and have never felt fuckin' better. I swear.

  • Thanks for the post! Finding other black atheists and/or agnostics is a rare treat. Thanks a million!!!

  • Thanks a bunch, Blackguy811; I really appreciate that!!

  • I think education's the most important factor.

    Black Americans are often denied a decent education and it doesn't take a genius to see the link between education and secularism.

  • I'm black and a proud atheist. It good to see more black atheists here on Youtube.

  • What an excellent video.

  • im a black atheist and proud USSR

  • I think it gets watered down in generations. With most of my friends and me our grandparents/elder relatives were born in religious countries like Nigeria, or Jamaica but we were born in Manchester, UK so that's the culture we're more exposed to and it's a very secular culture. I think when you move to another country you can't help but take on new ideas and abandoning religion is definitely one of the things people tend to drop, interestingly this isn't the case among people of Pakistani origin

  • black athiest and proud of it

  • Hispanic atheists? some where?

  • @DSD1v57BG32 Hispanic atheists? I'm half, does that count?

  • LMAO, notice Leonard's eyes shifting after Blair says "Rappist". Priceless.

  • google Doe's Account, its mindblowing.

  • A good and needed video. I think that your commentary on "Africans" selling their own however is misleading and needs to be corrected. The term "African" as it is used, is in many respects a misnomer. Africa is a diverse continent, not a country. Africa has had thousands of languages and as many diverse ethnic groups. As the timber of your language does not work for Europe, it certainly does not work for Africa.

  • Christianity was part of the "slavery kit" Here's your European name and the European language, oh and don't forget The Bible to keep you in check.

  • Interesting video, but seriously a "Rappist"?

  • Do you think a lack of learning and scientific education is a factor?

  • Proud black female atheist here in New England! ^__^

  • I think the hispanic community has religon based roots as well. We are taught to say "vendicion" which is a request for a blessing from our elders. We are also known to have "santaria" religion which is worhsippping of the saints which comes from a merge of catholocism and christianity.

  • @questionsamson merge of catholocism and christianity?

  • Yes, catholics worship saints, and christianity is bascially full of spiritual worship. What exactly are you asking?

  • @questionsamson

    ummmm, catholicism IS christianity. that's like saying "dogs are four legged medium sized omnivores but black labs are black, completely different"

  • "catholicism IS christianity" I doubt you would find any "born again christians" who would accept all teachings of catholics, especially when it comes to the subject of evolution. Yes they are part of the same breed, but they teach different doctrines.

    Great danes are known for their great speed, but golden retreivers are known for their loyalty. Do you get what I mean?

  • @questionsamson

    nope, catholicism is christianity, by no stretch of the imagination is it not, i'm sorry but i have to be rather terse about this. All a christian is, is someone who recognizes jesus as the son of god, that's it. christianity covers mormon's, protestants, catholics, evangelicals etc.

  • lol catholicism IS christian. Do you know the meaning of christianity??? ANY religion that believes in christ as the son or part of the trinity of God. Catholics believe in christ as the savior so that makes them christian...duh-lol.

  • i often wondered about the hispanic community. they seem to be very religious believers in catholocism and have belief in the God of the Jews. Its puzzling to me at times.

  • loud and proud!

  • Its not true that Africans didnt keep their religion. The problem is that in the USA blacks were such a small and oppressed minority that when freedom came many voluntarily accepted the new GOD as a means of social mobility. When one goes to Louisianna it more resemblesthe Caribbean and Brazil where African syncritised religions and africanised Christianities and african religions are abound. Ignorance has always kept religion and black american ignorance is culturally favoured hence...

  • man there are so few black atheists because blacks are by and large ignant! Hence we cling to religion to make us feel smart. Even those who go to University pride themselves on keeping their faith. With the idea of GOD one can make up anything and then add GOD to it and suddenly one feels better and wise. Try to ask blacks why they believe, its seriously hard to get anything other than we need something to believe, which means I don't know, everyone I know believes it, so I do..peace

  • great discussion!

    as usuall this all boils down to the "haves" vs the "have nots". for the 'haves' to exist, so must the "have nots". we the 'have nots' have been systematically keep in this poor and ignorant slave state of mind. these ideas have become self perpetuating and self refueling for generations....
