What do atheists and true believers have in common?

Both think they know the absolute truth! This is my opinion which is subject to change as better factual info comes my way!!!

To be fair, I don't think I know the absolute truth (being an atheist).

I'm just pretty sure the claims made about deities aren't convincing enough to be worth considering seriously. If God showed up and was all 'yo' I'd change my mind pretty quickly.
I doubt atheists have much issue with Marvel Comics. (Or even Timely or Atlus that preceded them) Timely, before Stan Lee and Atlus and Marvel with him never tried to preach religion or speak off God. Heaven and Hell. Saved and sinners and such. Yes there WERE gods-and Goddesses in the comics. (Venus was popular in the 1940's) Example would be Thor, Loki and a few others.

And true believers- the Marvel faithful as Stan Lee called them for decades just like the company and story lines. The true believers are still fans even though the hated Disney owns them!

So both groups should have no issue with the comics, character and story lines as religion does not play into it unless one dies a panel-then it may enter into it at a funeral.

👍🏆️ totally agree with you. I even go as far as saying, about the whole "god" thing, that for so long people have naively thought that there will be peace on earth when everyone adheres to THERE religion while I strongly believe it is quite the opposite (and this is not a fact but my own belief). I think when everyone is humble enough to say "I don't know" then people can finally have real communication. in not knowing we will suddenly be one because deep down we are all already there except some hate not knowing, it makes them insecure, so they replace this with a false sense of knowing. it takes a while to accept that we don't know anything with certainty but we get used to it.
I'm an Agnostic but I don't claim that I have the absolute truth and I do have issues with basically anyone who thinks they know it all I don't care if they're religious or atheists it's just a shitty thing to believe that you are absolutely right about everything.
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether All agnostics don't know the truth. That's what agnostic means
Atheists and Theists only have 1 point of difference. One believes in a god or gods, the other doesn't.

both sides will spend millennia arguing over something that doesn't matter anyway.

They both have certain beliefs counter each other
And then there are agnostics, who question.
@bijouxbroussard I like being one because I don't have to be labeled, I mean it's still a label but I'm open to be proven wrong even if that never happens.
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether That’s the category in which I find myself, too. I wish I still believed when I see the comfort others derive from faith, but if proof ever comes, I haven’t closed the door. 🙂
