YouTube Pulls Atheist Video on Religion After Making Front Page of Digg

This satirical infomercial, which had been on YouTube for months, was pulled by Youtube, who deemed it "inappropriate content," only after it skyrocketed into the top three topics on digg.com & began accumulating tens of thousands of views.

Upset by the censorship & implications, several youtube users have re-uploaded or 'mirrored' the video in protest.

and i think atheism also a religion and it is the laziest religion ever. only thing you have to do is; looking ignorant religion people and saying "religion is stupid and unnecessary thing and it causes conflict"

@ibrozdemir Atheism is not a religion. It is a lack of belief in gods. Please educate yourself on a subject before commenting on it.

Pure gold!!!!!!! :D

[shtosuka]

Ha! Hopefully this vid is able to go viral, without being taken down for its "inappropriateness"

[Sirenhound]

@tcorp Is black a colour? the purists would say no, it's the lack of colour. To me, I would describe something that is black as having a black colour.

While I agree atheism is not a religion as such (especially not an organised one), it is still a belief system which requires a conclusion to be drawn on a lack of evidence for it.

Besides, who doesn't like singing songs and dressing up in funny clothes?

Atheism: the religion without practices, beliefs, teachings, or worship of any kind.

@ibrozdemir ok first of all Einstein was a deist so he didn't believe in your god assuming your a christian and since when do you have to deserve heaven from what ive read from the bible works are like filthy rags and the only way is by the grace of god and why wouldn't god want us to have all the answers if he really loved us so much and wanted us to be with him and if he really was there and was who he says he is then he would know what it would take to make me believe

[ibrozdemir]

@pigtakecrap maybe the reason you're thinking i'm ignorant is that you realy get the believing wrong way. you shouldnt find any direct evidence because you gotta deserve heaven. its like you are having an exam and you want the exact answers and you also want a high score...yea the teacher should give you the same score with other students who didnt cheat. and also being religist isnt about how smart you are, there are a lot of smart people who belive god (like einstein). slight equitable right?

[pigtakecrap]

@ibrozdemir you are so ignorant and you wander why people won't take you seriously and if you took time to do actual research you might realize that what you believe is a lie because you have no evidence but a 2000 year old book that's filled with hundreds if not thousands of contradictions cause i used to believe in it but after looking at it it obviously is a lie

[ibrozdemir]

@tcorp aaaand the scene... :D you are correcting my theory with that comment of yours. except i'm not a ignorant religist person, i'm just sarcasming...but you just had to worship to atheism religion didnt you ;)

[ibrozdemir]

so only reason people are figthing (war) eachother is religion...this is childish. people are fighting eachother because of their benefits. if there isnt any religion they would fight for another reason to get oil, land, food or something. only way you can stop war is making people stop thinking and producing culture and ideas to excuse war. as religion cause war between (ignorant) people it also stops many of them fighting with its good nature.

Man but the fundies would shit their holy pants watching this! I thought it was hillarious and would love to show it to my godlodyte friends. They'd definitely curse me to hell. You know that place that doesn't exist and you burn forever. I prefer the FSM heaven..... a stripper factory and a volcano that spews beer.
