New Rule: Atheists Day | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

and finally new

rule

: they should no longer be able to talk about Dei in the United States. Dei, that's diversity, equity and inclusion without including

atheists

. Thanks to some of you, as we approach a third of the population. I shouldn't have to beg. For God's sake, it's outrageous that there are so many of us and there is still no reputable representation in government. The Congress has 535 members and only a handful of them, even timidly, admit that they are not affiliated with any religion. The Supreme Court is made up of two Protestants, one Jew and six other Catholics. that the Pope and even intellectual presidents like Obama who admit to being secular humanists have to pretend to be religious no one has been able to admit their shameful secret I don't believe in ghosts next Sunday is Easter so enjoy it first you've heard of okay yeah enjoy if that's your thing, bunnies that lay eggs to celebrate the Son of God, whatever floats in your Ark, but it's not fair that people who belong to one of the great religions have this personal cosmic day where the world tour.

I mean, here we are in the middle of a major egg shortage, and yet next Sunday we're going to take the few eggs we have and hide them in the yard. Thank you. There is also now a movement for schools to officially recognize Muslim Ramadan. month of fasting and I'm all for that or anything that will make our fat kids eat less, but while roughly three million Americans celebrate Ramadan, 100 million say they have no religion at all, what's our day? ? Actually, it's not so much asking that. So many people have one day a year when we recommit ourselves to observable

real

ity, a day without atonement, without resuscitation of corpses, without fasting, without a tray in the house, without a large stone to surround, without dirt on the forehead, without candles to light and please God, without fruit cakes, simply. an annual three-day weekend to celebrate your deeply held belief that with Monday off you can drink Sunday night and sleep in because there is no place to gather together to affirm that we all believe the same, know what we believe, and What I don't think is that we don't need to rub shoulders with other people who don't believe it either and we don't need to commercialize our holidays like every other religion does.

Atheist day is about not buying into something like the virgin birth. I don't think so, we have the numbers we can do. This fastest growing religious group in the United States are nuns, no, not the kind who used to hit you with a

rule

r for being left-handed. I'm talking about people who, when asked how much they want. be involved with a religion, say none, the proportion of the unaffiliated population, made up of people who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic, or nothing in particular, has increased from five percent in 1972 to 15 percent in 2005 to 32 percent today, you're welcome, unless I think they're just young educated white liberals, no, almost everyone is losing their religion or, as I call it, holy ghost, the average age of a nun is 43, a third are people of color, a quarter voted for Trump, 70 percent don't have four. year of college degree Millennials are the first generation that is not majority Christian Their idea of ​​hell is a coffee shop without Wi-Fi When asked how often they go to church 34 percent of younger Millennials responded rarely never or you don't know it foreigner I don't know Hello kids, going to church is like having an orgasm if you didn't know you knew it, you didn't know it and that's another great thing about atheist day, you don't have to pretend, you don't even have to do it. be an atheist to enjoy it just like you don't have to be a Christian to enjoy Christmas.

I still love Christmas. You don't have to be an atheist to celebrate Atheist Day. I'd like it to be the one day a year where Devotees can get a little taste of what it's like to live your life without a mythical dad figure judging and condemning you for being exactly the person he made you. Oh, Atheist Day should be a day for believers to stop and ask themselves why they invent a being who is constantly disappointed in you you don't need him you have your wife and your parents your siblings your co-workers your coach when you don't give the One hundred and ten percent there are many people here on Earth who will gladly make you feel like a lame incompetent.

Why invent one more? It's like adding an extra mother-in-law. Why you will always be tormented. I better not make Jesus cry. Baby Jesus cries. Do you like one damn day of the year where for 24 hours you can tell your God to get off your ass because trying to please a man who isn't there sets you up for a life

time

of misery, ask Tiffany Trump.
