  • I remember when I was 8-10 years old and I thought there wasn't many believers, I thought it was like some few in other countries. For me it always been unlogical to believe in any religion and now when I'm older and understand how many there are i'm in shock...

    I live in sweden :)

  • I'm black, atheist, and gay, and I too have never met one. as a matter of fact, a lot of gay black men I know consider themselves devout christians and go to church regularly. strange to me.

  • god almighty powerful loving creator. wants people to believe he exists and created everything. but the only way to prove his existence is 2 write a book and make many copies for us to read instead of giving us factual and visual evidence. knowing some people think rationally with common sense will start to question the whole creation fairy tale. i myself don't care how a creationist feel once i tell them im atheist if you hate me because i dont agree with you. shows u that religion is a disease

  • @seunketchup88

    Assuming you're an american, you're actually in the majority being fat ;)

  • Its real stupid to follow the religion that supported and promoted slavery.

  • Indian-American, ex muslim, pansexual. What now bro?

  • I'm a black, gay, male, atheist, artist.

    RARE!

    

  • Am I the only one who thinks Matt looks like Rick from Pawn Stars?

  • This refers to the points made @2:30 by the caller.

    Read the Bible - John chapter 10 and try and take your Atheist FUCK THE BIBLE glasses off.

    It's one of those chapters that is actually..well.. good? Our common language revolves around, false dichotomys, fallacies, absolutes, evidence etc.

    It's not just what you say, it's how you say it. This isn't just about treating people with respect, it's about treating people with familiarity. I'm still working out the kinks in this hypothesis.

  • Great quote: You cannot reason someone out of a belief that they did not reason themselves into.

  • and its 1, 2, 3 strikes you're out at the ole ballgame! Lol im just joking, it doesn't bother me. Can't say the same for Society though :/

  • im black and an atheist too

  • To be free from slavery, you needed to prove you had a soul and werent justa commodity to be sold like watermelons.Thats why english abolitionists and americans converted thousands to christianity as theres a belief everyone has a soul.Thats why black ppl are so panicy about atheism.As if they dont have a soul the world might start selling them again :L

  • @Thelondonbadger

    of all the commodites you could've choosen... why go with watermelons? #imjustaskin

  • @wittenberg5 Just because i was hungry for watermelon at the time haha If i was fiending pizza i woulda said that and its an easy thing to understand since everyone loves watermelons.

  • @Thelondonbadger That's the dumbest comment I've seen in ten minutes!

  • @Graynumber Go onto a dubstep video youll see major spam and jizz / virgin comments that would make you facepalm at the idea of intelligent design Lol.

  • @Thelondonbadger You seem so normal and logical. But your previous statement was just so mind-numbingly ignorant.

  • @Graynumber You didnt read past watermelons did you?Slaves were seen to be objects or stupid humans only fit for menial tasks as they*didnt* have a language or read or write.When christian abolishionists actualy brought up the point that everyman has a soul given by god regardless the slave owners changed the stance to:natives cant speak or learn and have no souls thus they are not human.When they converted many slaves to christianity they taught them english to be able to counter these claims.

  • @Graynumber Aka If you can accept god over your voodoo and superstitious ways then youve proven your not a stupid native an you have a soul given by god.You forget back then society was even more christian an bigoted then today.Thats why black people put their entire all into praising god.Cos its ingrained into them to accept god or you are nothing but an object an will become a slave again.

  • @Thelondonbadger Riiight there! "Cuz it's ingrained in them to accept god or you are nothing yadda yadda yadda." Maybe you should actually talk to a black Christian, because that whole sentiment is beyond retarded. At least today it is.

  • @Graynumber Are you black? Well as a christian in a christian community i urge you to stand up in church and say this is horseshit im an atheist an hear the whole room call you devil heathen scum and pretty lynch you without the rope.Have people spit on your kids in the street and say they have no souls they arent human or american ect.Then you can tell me america is the land of the free.

  • @Thelondonbadger That's two completely separate things, my mini Einstein.

  • I'm Hispanic, atheist, gay, and marxist. what now.

  • @TheBossNuggz You could dye your hair ginger and go live in a cave!!!!

  • I am gay and have aspergers syndrome. Life sucks

  • I'm a black, gay, atheist grad student. I won't get into specifics, but I arrived at atheism after witnessing my family destroying themselves with religion. I would rather deal with myself by myself than believe in a god who cannot show the love, acceptance and peace that I need. And another person's words are simply words; they will never be enough to convince me that someone's out there, no matter how heartfelt they are. I guess it's a point of empathy. Most believers cannot empathize with me.

  • I wonder if MLK Jr. would've had as much impact and influence as he did if he had been atheist. I think that, unfortunately, he would've had to keep his atheism to himself if he wanted to garner credibility as a leader.

  • I'm black Jew.

  • I'm A Multi-Racial Androgynous Asexual Agnostic Atheist With Acute Aspergers.....From Auckland, New Zealand!!!

  • So this guy is maybe subject to the most irrational hatred of anyone in the world! That sucks!

  • @lovergal1984

    Fuck do I wish that were true, but I think Rev. Sharpton would disagree w/ya...lol

  • Im a 13 year old half white half black athiest who was forced into christianity. The past 3 or 4 years ive been extremely confused about religion do to the rediculous claims made that have no evidence 2 support them. Watching these guys really helped me realize i shouldnt be ashamed of the fact that i nolonger believe in god

  • @Rmacon4002 Kudos to you for taking a stand at a young age. I'm half black and white myself and forced into christianity as a child as well. And I was 30 before I just flat came to realize that I was truely atheist. Stay strong!

  • @Rmacon4002 Good for you! It may help you even more to pass it on to other that are waking up to the truth.

  • @Rmacon4002

    good to see that you've broken free from the Cult of Christianity.

  • @Rmacon4002

    I know how you feel. XD

    Im half black and my family have been christians for generations.

    Though im not a full out athiests- i believe that there are some things that we just cant explain- i do not believe in a god like they do.

    When i was around 15-16 my mother was having a god lecture session. I finally got fed up and in the heat of the moment i said "I dont even believe in god." Me and my big mouth. T_T

    But i lived, and hopefully it will get better for you as it did for me.

  • @Rmacon4002: You are wise beyond your years.

  • I'm south Indian, atheist, gay, and in an interracial relationship with a christian. ;D

  • I'm a black atheist and when people start to get a better understanding of the bible they would realize there is no god.

  • black, gay (ex-Muslim), and hoping to be a psychologist.

  • I'm black, atheist, gay, and hufflepuff. Booyah

  • I'm black, KOREAN, Athiest and gay. Yay for me! Who wants cake?

  • I know why there are so few admitted black atheists. It's because their church services rock. Sitting in a pew with a bunch of stiff white folks singing "Onward Christian Soldiers" just doesn't compare with gospel music. Belief in God's got nothing to do with it.

  • Black people should have been the first atheist.

  • @TheSyrupMan I know right.

  • Black atheist right here. From Trinidad.

  • @Dferd777 Wow thats pretty surprising actually

  • @ToxicMayo9 I don't think it's very surprising. Any rational thinking person would and should come to the same conclusion if they would just sit down and think about what they believe.

  • Wow, I'm all of these, will I'm biracial and a woman so I'm a biracial, bisexual, atheist!

  • I thought I was the only one!

    Glad to know that I'm not the only black, lesbian, atheist out here!

  • @honeyblossom17 I think there's actually quite alot, but no one wants to come out of the closet. It's sad.

  • @hanspeterpitsch- I know right!

    I'm an out lesbian, but not an atheist but one day I do plan on coming out!

  • @honeyblossom17 Oh ok. Well I would say "just do it" but I don't really know the circmstances.. Where I live, you would get wierd looks for being an open theist. It's really strange to me that people have to be afraid just because they're rational :S

  • @hanspeterpitsch- ''It's really strange to me that people have to be afraid just because they're rational''

    I KNOW! But it's not so much being rational as it is ''they don't believe in god, therefor they must be EVIL and are going to hell!!'' I live in the US, with a (mind you) BLACK family, and are VERY religious, and to make matter worse my dad told me a few days ago that he thought about becoming a DECAN! And I was like ''OH, FUCK'' lmao! As you can imagine this will only make things worse!!

  • @hanspeterpitsch- I live in the ''bible belt'' of the south, Arkansas.

  • @honeyblossom17 you are actually a minority 4 times :p as they said minorities are less likely to be atheist because they are conditioned not to question dogmas and society and you see this in our community there are less women in it and even less black people so the fact that you are a black female is a triple rarity(minority) you also happen to be gay :p right on :)

  • he's probably overweight too,lol

  • I would like to meet this black, atheist, gay person. I live in Columbia as well, and I REALLY need to meet him, so Jonathan, if you're on YouTube now or on Facebook, PLEASE send me a message. I know this message is old, but please, message me though!

  • Well let me just say I'm also black, atheist, and gay so here's one

  • im a black, gay, atheist abortion doctor.

    check mate.

  • @Mallaclllypse I'm sorry but you are going to die an awful death.

    WHAT I LIKE TO CALL "HELL!"

  • @VotzSKiLLioN  Prove it.

  • @SickMouth Kill yourself and watch him.

  • @VotzSKiLLioN That proves nothing, therefore, you're an idiot. Oh, I love how you're all "Christian" and "full of Christ love."

  • @Mallaclllypse i'm black,gay,atheist,overweight,a­n immigrant and ugly.

    check mate.

  • @Mallaclllypse that is so weirdly awesome XD

  • @Mallaclllypse are you also a transman? fingers crossed.

  • @Mallaclllypse Well played sir.

  • @Mallaclllypse That's to funny. I needed a break from the seriousness. Best one I've read yet. You gotta keep em coming now though cause you set the bar so high LOL.

  • @Mallaclllypse you are my hero, but surely arch nemesis of conservatives lol

  • @Mallaclllypse

    I'm black, gay, atheist abortion doctor and a communist. Check mate! :D

  • @Mallaclllypse im a black gay atheist abortion doctor with autism and im quadrapalegic

  • I think the fact that there are not many black atheists is just more proof that religion is fake and has to be taught. If you go back in time to the days of slavery, who were the owners of slaves? It was rich, highly religious, republican types. They taught there slaves about religion and it has spread from there. Just like religious kids are taught. It is not something you just feel or know about. It is something that has been pounded into your head. Religious cults are a perfect example.

  • @allphiledup very true

  • i am a black atheist. when i told my mother that i didnt believe in god, she immediately threw me in with the satan group, said she didnt love me as much anymore, and even said i should move to europe. sigh, stupidity like that makes me glad i will one day die, so i dont have to deal with it anymore.

  • All of you people debating on whether homosexuality is a choice or not down in the comment section, I have one thing to say. It isn't, sorry. I know many of you want everything to be all black and white, but it isn't. I like men. We do not debate on our preference for other things, so why this? I hate peas and love corn. There is no pea hating, corn loving gene; however I didn't choose this preference. I'd rather it be that I liked peas since they're good for me.

  • @pianoman8778 I pity you - I prefer peas. Lol.

  • my brother and I are black/n.a atheists. we are the biggest black sheep in our entire family and on facebook, we sometimes have our atheist themed statuses and of course every1 rains down on us. during family reunions, every1 talks about god and we shut them down in an instant and they leave us alone like we never exsisted. i guess it does have an upside after all. even my mom regrets ever taking us to church

  • @EmperorFour best comment I have read all day. keep up the good work, brother

  • @borisovicinovski thank you you too brother

  • he is right. as einstein said "god is a product of human weakness".

  • There are not many black athiest in American, because blacks are a minority and athiest are a minority. minority + minority = hard to find

  • @MacHead31 no way are black people a minority. they make up a huge fraction of america's and britain's population

  • @borisovicinovski Yeah but they don't make up the majority. Therefor, they still are the minority. Just because there are a lot of them, doesn't negate the fact that they are a minority.

  • In some ways being homosexual is more logical; most of your oldest/closet friends are of your sex. Being married to someone of the same sex will probably go deeper/last for longer as you as the partner will have a lot more things in common. It is a biological reaction that makes you illogical (horny) which causes you to procreate with the opposite sex. Your genes are shellfish and they want to be passed on through this process. I say this as a heterosexual who has deal with the opposite sex.

  • i don't understand what race has to do with not believing that there isnt a magic man in the sky o.O

  • 2:22 "Just keep smiling, just keep smiling" Epic face lol

  • Yes all the Christian fanatics are mainly in 3rd world countries because our secularism doesnt allow most batshit behaviors. In El Salvador they WILL stone homosexuals. Im Filipino, and the Catholic system in my country actually PERMITS Crucifixions.

  • @bigredphenom hey yea first off El Salvador is not so much a 3rd world country like you make it seam, and no they wont stone people. im from El Salvador and they wont do that. if that ever happens it would happen in smaller villages and communities. and if that were the case than the government would not condone that kind of behavior.

  • @NDBNTZ I just chose El Salvador as one of the MANY examples and yes there was a case of Christians stoning in small villages. I agree that most of it happens in remote areas and not in a large city.

  • @bigredphenom That is like saying some tribes in the congo have a history of killing travelers and eating them and using them for witchcraft. Do all the people from congo agree with that?

    your fucking retarded.

  • @NDBNTZ I didnt say ALL El Salvadoreans, there was a case in that country so I chose that. Does the news distinguish between soldiers getting killed by SOME Iraqi insurgents? NO, they just say that Iraq is a country where an American soldier was killed and the audience already knows that not ALL Iraqis want Americans dead. Its not my fault your dumbass cant comprehend simple shit.

  • @bigredphenom mmm your arguments are shit. learn to English language lol. and if you didnt catch that, i was being facetious. My example about people from DR Congo explained it all you donkey humping primitive fuck.

  • @NDBNTZ lol your mad idiotic bantering w/no solid point means I WIN HAHA

  • @bigredphenom mmmm... yup youre right.... everybody look! This man was proven wrong and now is attempting to play it cool.

    grow up and get off of youtube we dont like your kind here, (the moronic bigots that troll and infest open public chat and forum)

  • @NDBNTZ Oh I see your the uber politically correct type whose pussy starts to ache at the drop of a hat. fucking kidding me? why you so sensitive, its called a generalization, not a completely accurate interpretation stop being butt hurt

  • @GigaGanonMan ...there is so many things wrong with your post, but i guess ill let you be ignorant. I find that once people have a set idea so ingrained in your head like you do, there is no way to even address you in a civil matter. so fuck off :)

  • @NDBNTZ lol FUCK el salvador. you guys went from advanced mayan astronomy and mathematics to MOWING LAWNS? is that some sort of coping mechanism because you got absolutely PWNED by the spanish? now go cry in the corner knowing that you got PWNED and anything you say at this point is just gonna get tossed in the trash like the rest of your garden fodder yeah?

  • same here. black, atheist, gay

  • the internet is the MAIN reason atheists are increasing in numbers so fast.

  • Black, atheist and gay? Doesn't that make that dude the rarest person on earth?

  • @pokeshmon

    Only if he was also fat, bald and had blue hair.

  • triple threat

  • @MyobuUzumaki atheism is the ultimate freedom from slavery, that is why it is so powerful for us. They created religion to get our minds too, keep us productive so we cannot rebel because we think we'll get our reward when we die. What a con! And it worked...but not anymore. Black people should rebel against religion more than anyone else!

  • There is no logical reason to hate homosexuals. Religion spreads hate about them. To all the people that say what they do is not natural, animals were having gay sex before humans even evolved. There's actually species of lizard that became asexual and has only females in the population. In order to stimulate egg production they hump each other, kinda like lizard scissoring. The offspring are copies of the parent lizard and not the sex partner.

  • I love that guys eyebrows

  • I'm a black atheist and the caller is right I have meet maybe one other black person that was an atheist. We are out there.

  • @DoktorSick Well I'm not a black person who's an athiest, I'm an athiest person who is black. So there, you met 3.

  • Comment removed

  • @guasto47 Uncle Tom is a character from the famous novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. Uncle Tom refers to a black person who will do anything to stay in good standing with "the white man" including betray his own people. Today, it refers to black conservative Republicans. So how is being gay and an atheist an Uncle Tom?

  • Comment removed

  • black, atheist and gay ... jeez.

  • TheAtheistExperiance- Whatever happened to Madalyn Murray O'Hair, anyways? I know she died in 1995, but, what happened?

  • I've never even heard of a Black atheist.; Never even knew they were even around, quite frankly.

  • I'm an atheist and a zoophile, so I'm pretty far down on the oppression ladder as well, so I sympathize with what that guy must have gone through in his life.

    Still, being black has the disadvantage that you can experience prejudice from people who you don't know, since they can determine your skin color on sight, as opposed to religion or sexual orientation.

  • @Clawdragoons I wont lie. I've been staring at your first sentence for five minutes now not knowing what to say. Do you just admire animals or do you act on your impulses? I hope you aren't abusing animals.

  • @SuperBlackChic I admire and love animals, and would never abuse them. I'd like to point out though that sexual contact is not necessarily abuse (although just as with all types of sexual contact, there are ways in which it can be abuse).

    I have never had sex, but that is more a matter of my life situation than an intentionally abstaining from it.

    If you'd like to discuss the... ethics, for lack of a better term, about my orientation, feel free to private message me.

  • @SuperBlackChic Youtube comments are not the best location to discuss... anything, really.

    So, yeah, any questions or discussion you'd like to have, again, feel free to private message me.

  • @Clawdragoons It isn't always true that queer people and people of certain religions 'pass' as the dominant group, it also isn't true that race is always straightforward and that minorities do not sometimes 'pass'. As a queer person who does not blend well, there are actually many situations where it is a relief. Passing has its own brutalities as does being obviously of the oppressed group.

  • @opptomisticcynic That is true too. Very good points.

    Personally, I've always been glad that I don't really mesh with the majority (although for reasons separate from the fact I'm a zoophile, although that does add to my personal feeling of not meshing). I consider it a bit of insulation from groupthink, if nothing else.

  • christianity gives it's followers a severe daddy complex. the lord is the supreme judge of the christians moral character, and yet none of them will recieve direct confirmation or acceptance from dear old dad. its clearly a way to fuck people's minds up and take control of their psyche.

  • I am a gay Palestine born into a Muslim family, but now I'm an Atheist..if there is a God he sure doesn't like me!

  • @mastttt91 it sounds like you dont like yourself dude being gay is a choice and the reason you lost your faith i pitty you your lie choice is bad

  • @OregonOutlaw2000 Yep, I could have chosen to be with men......

    Are you freaken kidding me, I am strait cause I was born that way. No one would choose to be gay and face what they have to in every day life. I pitty your stupidity......

  • @parkert51 You certainly can choose to be gay! I have a friend who chooses to be gay for $300 dollars an hour. Exactly like religion...gay is a choice with many motivating factors. Men in prison choose to be gay for survival, my friend chooses to be gay for money, others choose to be gay because they are only attracted to men.

    My point is..WTF does it matter? Someones choice/not choice to be gay should be protected EXACTLY like a Christians choice to believe in an imaginary deity is protected.

  • @clubindiana4

    - "You certainly can choose to be gay!"

    Choosing to engage in certain sexual activities is not the same as being homosexual.

  • @TheAtheistExperience Enlighten me. What defines homosexuality? :)

  • @clubindiana4

    - "Enlighten me. What defines homosexuality? :)"

    Apparently you do... :D

  • @clubindiana4 "choose to be gay because the are only attracted to men." What kind of a logic is that????

  • @jlompcm Sexuality isn't as cut and dry as gay/not gay. How many homosexual experiences are required before you're OFFICIALLY gay? Its much easier for a bisexual man to "choose" to not be gay than it would be for a man who is exclusively into guys.

    My point is.....we waste WAY too much time debating "choice". What does it matter if its a choice or not? If it is a choice......people should be able to make that choice for themselves for WHATEVER reason.

  • @clubindiana4 a MRI from a homosexual will be far closer to a MRI from the opposite sex, that is a MRI from a lesbian will be closer to a man, and a MRI from a gay will be closer to a woman MRI. I´ll look for the reference later. You don´t choose to be homosexual, you are born that way. Recent studies even suggest that brain development is not "gay - not gay", but that the brain can have certain degrees of homosexual development. Is a fascinating subject, and you treat it foolishly.

  • @clubindiana4 LOL, such horse shit, thats having same sex relations which isnt quite the same as being gay.

  • @parkert51 "which isnt quite the same as being gay.".......how much "relations" do you have to have before you become gay?

  • @clubindiana4 Gay= sexual attraction to members of the same sex.

    Those who are gay for pay aren't attracted to the same sex by definition. THINK!

  • @clubindiana4 Please check the studies from Ivanka Savic at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm before you keep showing as an ignorant.

  • @jlompcm Don't get your undies in a bundle sweety.........my only point is....it doesn't matter if it's a choice or not. The whole "choice" debate is a moot issue.

  • @clubindiana4 Actually in the real world is a important debate, if it is a choice, well, then the argument can be done in favor of "choose something else", which was the idea in the whole torture-mind changing psychiatric institutions of the 50´s. Please document yourself better.

  • @jlompcm SO.......we should further validate the torture mind changing mentality if the 50? Did burning protestants at the stake work out very well for the Catholics in the past? Or did catholics discover that personal choices belong to the individual? Its a silly debate really.......all the freedoms we value the most are based in "freedom of choice".........why should gays have justify their choice (IF...and I mean IF it is a choice)?

  • @OregonOutlaw2000 Being gay IS NOT a choice, please study a little bit before writing here, please check the studies from Ivanka Savic at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.

  • @mastttt91

    I hope with all my heart that this is true

  • @TheIkaraCult it is..

  • @mastttt91 i like you :)

  • @mastttt91 well the truth smells..and u have a stench..wen your asshole open that much u Ape descendants tend to smell....atheist=faggs... i feel sorry for the people around you having to put up with that much ass smell

  • @1billion1deaths1 You are a phsyco and I'm saddened to live in a world with people like you... I'm not even going to use reason on the comment. You've been poisoned by conservative fundamentalist religious culture.Instead of talking about human body parts, look in a fucking science book. I'm sure you'll find more truth than you ever could in some old mythological book made by some goat herders.

  • @mastttt91 sorry your so fucked.

  • @mastttt91 yeap, youre doomed

  • Fewer black atheists: The caller is correct. Religion is a coping mechanism tied to survival instinct. The more oppressed a population, the greater prevalence is the expression of that coping mechanism.

  • @vesmir92505 You should see the amount of people that rushed back to mother church when the Irish economy went tits up in spectacular fashion. Fear is a great motivator to find the easiest and quickest bolt-hole.

  • @vesmir92505 Wow thats brilliant and makes perfect sense!

  • @vesmir92505 I think there is an importent aspect to religion you miss here: They promise you that there will be a heaven in afterlife. So if you suffer - and see know way to changing this - this is seductive tought. The religions had to make a balance their. Suicide is a very bad sin - you cannot go to heaven this way.

  • @vesmir92505

    That's not even a well thought out explanation...

  • I'm black and atheist...

  • WOW!

    Black, atheist, AND gay.

    Must suck to be him.

  • @Huapua Idiot.

  • @PrivateJoker17 That too??

  • Im fine with african americans.. But fuck gays

  • @MrGill85

    I think you mean the immature category. Those piss me off too. There's a gay brasilian male hairdresser that got boobs recently ( I think he wants to change sex ) and, according to my mom, he's always arrogantly beagging about it.

    I don't see no harm in men that get attracted to men. I personally don't feel attracted to men and don't think I ever will but I don't see how it's anyone's business if other people are attracted to the same gender.

    BTW, I'm a man.

  • @MrGill85

    They can't help it - they like penis. Leave them be

  • @MrGill85 what is your problem with homosexuals? 

  • @MrGill85 You're a bigot.

  • @MrGill85- wtf is your problem with us gays. btw I'm a black female lesbain.

  • jeff dee always wears the most awful shirts...

  • I don't understand what the correlation is between the atheism and the
