Do Atheists Really Exist?

Yes, Atheists exists, go to a well-run country in Europe that looks after its citizens with decent transport and health care, that has low levels of crime and incarceration and that educates them to a high level (Finland is a good example, Sweden or Switzerland too). You'll find an atheist majority there, leading happier lives and not scaring their children with fairy stories.

This video is great. I'm an athiest, and I've been thinking the same thoughts for quite a while. My parents never tried to influence my religion, which i think is the right thing to do.

While I am an atheist and have no plans to change that any time soon... I appreciate the fact that you have brought this argument up. Any victim of brainwash is a victim, even if they're on your side.

Well i am atheist so they definatly do exsist
And most of my family belive in god and I was raised to belive that too. But I changed my mind at about 10 years old. to me the bible is just like a stupid childerens book.
People that belive in god are strange to me, and normally just raised that way.
I have a freind that baleives in god but only becasue his parents belive it. They dont let him watch anything or do anything that might make him change his mind.
Its just brainwash in my opionion

I think he's trying to tell us to think for ourselves & asking if that's what we are doing... I don't see how he's disrespecting anyone. I'm not Christian... But if he is or is not he's a thinker & that's cool!

So there can be false atheists and not belive in god; however, belive in life beyond. And unreal atheists can believe in a soul. Being an Atheist, believing in a soul (as I define soul), and considering myself "real"; you must be wrong. Buddhism is only one out of the thousands of religions and the hundreds practiced today.

Assumptions you present are funny:
1. God exists, and we (as a mere carbon form of matter) can know "him" it
2. Only your god, which you don't doubt exists, is the correct one.
3. You can speak to what "god" wants..
Your justification for all of these: Faith
No thank you.

Genocide, baby killing, and endorsed rape are not examples of perfect love. You cannot justify those actions, you can only rationalize them.

You are wrong.
Many people blame science for making people atheists. The fact is all athesists come to it for different reasons. I had my honours degree in science but was still a person of faith. But I lost my faith when I began to critically exam the teachings of the bible and came to my own conclusion. That I could live a far more morale life without it's teachings and no such being could possibly exist and claim to be the perfect example of love.

The amazing thing is that two different people can look at the same evidence and come to diametrically opposite conclusions. I am glad that you are able to live a far more "morale" life. I am sorry that you are unable to know the God who is the perfect example of love.

No 8-year old can truly be an Atheist, Christian, Muslim, etc. No one that young has investigated things for themselves, they only have their parents teachings to go on, so if their parents are atheists, they will be taught that there is no God. If their parents are Christian, they will be taught there is a God, and so forth. I am an atheist and I am perfectly happy the way I am. I was raised a Christian, but I left it behind years ago because I followed the evidence.

A 38-year-old can also be an atheist or a believer because his parents were. The point John is making is that our faith should be our own, not our parents'. We should investigate and know why we believe what we believe. This is also the point of another video "Why are You a Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Moslem, Atheist?" John investigated the evidence and came to faith in God and Jesus Christ. What evidence did you find?
