    people doing this, it’s a last ditch response to, “people think I’ve become messed up and no longer being a decent human, so I’m doing this to prove I’m not messed up.”

    to me, it seemed like a coping mechanism, like isn’t it why people turn to religion in the first place, to cope…

    from the largest body of the public

    what do you mean?

    What do YOU think about his statements?

    I delayed replying to your comment so I don’t influence others, but seeing the amount of negativity that’s blamed on Russell Brand ( it was attributed to me really ), take a look at the other comments to see how insufficient their reasoning skills are, no wonder Russell gets to say something like : Religion is spreading…

    Now to what I think: first of all, I’m not an ex-Christian, I’m an exmuslim, so I don’t have experience in debunking christianity…

    1. someone said he should have started an onlyfans before converted, that’s how you get the most out of it…lol

    2. He said something about Human connections are sometimes not enough, and I remember seeing a research paper that said : not believing in a higher power gives athiests stronger human bounding, like stronger relationships… Etc…

    3. Said that Religion is spreading, especially amongst younger people, I don’t know about the west so I can’t comment on that, but in this part of the world, I can tell you that that statement is FALSE, atheism is spreading like wildfire, however the birth rate is high so… It evens out the numbers… ( I guess )

    4. he seem to confuse being spiritual with being religious, I don’t know about you, but I don’t like it when religious people hijack words like, spirituality, believe… etc… there’s no rule that says atheists can’t be spiritual, or they don’t hold any belief

    5. I’m not sure about this one, did he just do: “whataboutism” when he said look at the Ukraine Vs Russia war, is it religious or secular…

    6. said he can debunk the allegations and crimes of the church throughout history, but my question is… why do you want to be associated with this kind of movement shall we say, if you knew they don’t have the best reputation? I get it gives you a sense of unity and that you’re part of something bigger, but still… It feels off
