I have seen a christian group into the forum, Are there many atheists here?
It could be good an atheism/agnostic group as well.

There very well could be. I'm not sure what we'd talk about though. I'm agnostic but it isn't something I feel compelled to talk about.
If there isn't a group you could start one.

I don't believe in a deity either but like George I don't know what there is to say about it.

I agree with Yoda, what would we actually talk about? I don't really feel compelled to discuss the matter unless you are talking about a group to support those who have recently become atheist or are looking for advice? Most people tend to post on other boards for that anyway though...

We could just point the finger at religion or show reports of declining church attendance in the united states.

We're not supposed to be talking about religion because it's against the policies, but so many people choose to not follow the rules so we made a group just for them so they can talk without triggering everybody!

There is a social group called "Skeptics". It is not very active, but it might be the place to go for --- skeptics.

Atheists and Agnostics are two seperate ideologies?
What would you like to talk about?

Agnostics claim either that it is not possible to have absolute or certain knowledge of God or gods; or, alternatively, that while individual certainty may be possible, they personally have no knowledge.
Atheists have a position that either affirms the nonexistence of gods or rejects theism. When defined more broadly, atheism is the absence of belief in deities, alternatively called nontheism. Although atheists are commonly assumed to be irreligious, some religions, such as Buddhism, have been characterized as atheistic because of their lack of belief in a personal god.
I consider myself to be an agnostic Buddhist.

I'm just a sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet transvestite............. I LOVE THAT MOVIE SO MUCH!!

I asked because of i wanted to know if the mayority here were christians.

Concerning to the group, a group is not only to discuss, it is also a place where you can find support...If you feel a sheep in your family/school because everybody is christian, it could be fine to know that you are not the only with other type of views. That s all.

I could create it, yes, but soon i start my college, i dont know if i could be as attentive as i would like.

Both are separated yet something more together than christians and agnostic/atheists.
