People ask if morality is objective or subjective and then insist that it has to be objective because if it were not, anyone could justify doing anything. But religious morality, as provided by a presumed god, is also incapable of being objective. Support Nastik Chai at patreon.com/vimoh or at vimoh.stck.me

Believers sometimes suggest that their desire to find god is proof of god's existence. However, it is actually the other way around. Their desire to find god is a result of their belief.

Atheists keep getting slammed as modern people with no respect for the old or the ancient ways. But is this really true?

Authority stopped being a source of knowledge when science made verification of claims from multiple sources mainstream. But we still get religious people saying that their religious book is evidence of the truth of the magical claims being made by their religious book. It's circular.

There is a tendency to say that there must be something great about us because we are "evolved". But in truth, that's not how evolution works. Evolution is a blind force. A storm that we survived.

The religious idea of life after death is somewhat selfish. It talks about the individual. However, life does continue after death. Today's episode is about how I see my afterlife as an atheist.

Since the beginning, religious ideas like god have been kept alive by shoving them into gaps in human understanding. When old gaps are filled by science, new gaps take their place.

Religion teaches us to think of consciousness as some kind of eternal value that survives the death of the body. The response to this point available.

One of the major reasons religion continues to persist has to do with the things humankind fell in love with early in its evolutionary history.

Religious folks sometimes try to use the existence of morality as proof of god. They argue that if there are moral rules, there must be a rule-maker. But this question is murkier than it looks.

People sometimes say that there must be life after death - heaven and hell - because if there isn't, then the world is not fair. The answer requires understanding a basic fact about truth and beauty.

Sometimes, atheists face a statistical point that has to do with the fact that the universe coming about without an intelligent creator is very unlikely. The response doesn't require you to be an expert at math.

Religious folks, sometimes when debating atheists, sometimes ask why do you need evidence for god when you believe in aliens without evidence. The answer is actually quite simple.

Modern humans sometimes deny evolution and disown our ape ancestors. Will this be what happens to us in the future?

We talk about why there is something instead of nothing. We know what something is. But do we really know what "nothing" means?
