I get mormons in my area coming up to me, "we're from the church of x, we'd like to talk to you about y".... I like to reply "Oh, wow. That's unfortunate. I'm sorry to hear that." Act concerned for their well being, ask if there's any way you can help them get away from the church. I've only gotten away with this once without laughing, but man it really threw them off their game

You can't convince the ones that are completely indoctrinated - that's a waste of time. The reason you debate them anyway is that those who listen in on the debate might be more on the fence. It is for their benefit that you spend time on this. Also, you could consider it a mental exercise.

Here's the thing. If this is happening in front of a group of people (either as a speaker or on the street), asking questions isn't really to get them to expand their worldview. It tends to not work. But when you ask these questions, you're really just needing to work on the people listening to that idiot. A lot of the time, they're just sitting there passively listening. When you bring in some common sense, maybe irritate the speaker so that they have to change their script a bit, it restarts the other brains in the room. They start slowly chugging along again. You make them THINK. I don't mean just insulting people or throwing out some meme. Being honest about your feelings does the trick. Almost all of them will go back to their comfortable ignorance but if you can give people a shock of reality, you've done more than enough.

That third advice reminded me of a scene from Life of Brian from Monty Python: he was running away from a mob after he disguised as a preacher to escape from roman soldiers. Then he starts to lose some objects as he rushes the fuck out from there. At first, his sandal breaks apart, so he tosses it away. Then she accidentally drops a jugg of water, etc. And some of the followers grab these objects and start to worship them, splitting into different factions already to a "startup" religion, something that didn't even exist a few minutes ago. I love that movie.

There is a lot of good information here on the internet. Good luck.
We need the same kind of suggestions for the nice folks who come banging on our front doors, or has it already been done? I know people who used to invite the door knocking Jehovah's Witnesses into their homes, close the door, and then preach to them about the Norse gods they pretended to worship. "My gods wield war hammers and swords! What is your god's favorite weapon?" "You can't enter Valhalla if you die without a sword in your hand. What are you doing to ensure you get to Valhalla?" Fun and games on a Saturday morning.

I think I'll create a religion based around Lt. Ellen Ripley... think about it, she's very messiah-y. She fights the dark, evil of the universe (the Xenomorphs), puts the needs of the masses ahead of her own needs, sacrificed herself to save us all, and we eventually resurrected... Heck, I could even create an eastern-style "zen"-ish religion from the Xenos themselves... a collective hive mind working only for the greater good and propagation of the species... This shit it just too damned easy...

Liked the "evangelism bingo" idea.
There was a street preacher that decided to take over a corner near where I live for about a month, every day he'd be out there yelling. So, I noticed the car parked nearby when he was standing around had a bunch of the typical republican propaganda stickers about takers vs makers and all that crap, so I started rolling down my window and yelling "Get a job!" at him as I'd pass by. Others took up the practice, and he stopped standing on the corner.

Noah Nayme I like the idea, but for now I think that fight needs to be concentrated on just keeping religion out of those schools, and the best way to do that would be to "keep atheism away" too. I sincerely believe it is a subject for adults, and the encouraging news is that 80% of the "indoctrinated" become unindoctrinated very quickly after becoming adults. "Attacking" at the grade school level would brig on the wrath of the parents and could even lead to violence.

*****, keeping atheists quiet is how we ended up at this place where America is one of the most religious countries around. We kept quiet because it was impolite, rude even, to do otherwise. Theists took advantage of that. It's time to speak out, everywhere. Edit: But let's not be the jerks these street preachers are. Don't shove it in people's faces. Just be prepared to debate it - calmly, politely - but debate it whenever you are confronted with theism.

Sometimes I really wish I could go back to high school, just so that I can protest all the religious crap they did in that school. At that time, I was just kinda indifferent to religion, mostly because I was still kinda bound by it. I wasn't a strong believer, but I also didn't care if there was prayer or anything like that going on. I would bow my head along with it. Now that my eyes have been opened, I really wish I could go back in time and protest the shit out of it.

The truly great thing is that they WAY exceeded their goal, to the tune of something over $70,000!!!

Aye, my brother! The boot is nothing but evil, rooted from the perverted teachings of the rebellious men that denied the worfd of the Crocs! They have tried to control us with their words of evil, but we are protected by our lord, our savior, Crocs! Crocs shall give us salvation, and spare us from the end of the world! The unbelievers say that the word of the Crocs is false, but they, are the false ones! They'll be praying to the Crocs' feet when armaggedon comes, when Crocs unleashes his wrath upon the nonbelievers and infidels! The boot says Crocs is the one who is evil, and perverted, but this is far from the truth! Don't you all see? He is trying to fool you! To stray you from the right path! But do not worry! There's still time! Submit yourself to the Crocs, and you'll be spared! You'll get to live in eternal life with Crocs, and experience true happiness!
This is IMO the best video you've uploaded. Highly innovative. Thank you.
Here's fire for you. Let's assume that the Bible is 100% accurate. How many times does it talk about homosexuality? I think it's something like 7. And it refers to it as an abomination. Ok, that sounds pretty bad, right? How many times does the Bible condemn greed, and in particular the wealthy? Dozens. How many times did Christ himself talk condemn the wealthy? "It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven." Sound familiar? He talks about it several times. Not once does he mention homosexuality. And while homosexuality might be called an abomination, it flat out says that "the love of money is the root of all evil." So which is worse, an abomination, or THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL?! Why are they spending so much time talking about gays, who even if they are right, are only effecting themselves, and not once are they decrying the ROOT OF ALL EVIL, the wealthy who are destroying lives, destroying the country, destroying our economy, and even indirectly killing people who can't provide for themselves because these people are hoarding all the money for themselves? Just once, I would like to hear one of these Bible-thumping pastors call out the wealthy with the same vehemence that they call out homosexuals. I'd like to see Westboro picket Donald Trump's house, with signs saying "GOD HATES RICH PEOPLE".

And remember, it was not the homosexuals whom Jesus scourged from the Temple, but the money-lenders.

I suspect that, other than the obvious love of money, there's probably some unexplored latent issues and corresponding self-hatred...

I am an ex Jehovahs Witness activist. I LOVE these videos. They are intelligently done without harsh words or cruel jibes. I have JWs commenting on my videos and they are without fail full of hate rhetoric, I am going to be killed by god and damned, I am going to be crying soon etc. Oh and terrible spelling. I LOVE the bingo card idea. I see some Christian commenters on here have already ticked off some items - "god is not dead" (assertions of fact with no proof, reference or source) "smug and sarcastic" (attack the man instead of the argument) Anyone want to go for a "you're all going to hell"?

This was my favorite video I've seen from you so far.
I saw this on reddit, story at the beginning. There were comments a plenty in the thread saying things like "liberals are ruining this society," etc, etc. It was quite terrifying...
the first one is just hilarious :D
At the university of Washington I spreached towards Spaghetti while holding up a cookbook and yelling, "IF YOU DO NOT BOIL YOUR SPAGHETTI PROPERLY, YOUR DAY AND LIFE WILL BE RUINED. YOUR NOODLE WILL BE TOO FIRM TO EAT. DO NOT BETRAY OUR SPAGHEDDI FOR THE EVIL TEACHIJGS OF THE SLICK BOWTIE PASTA, FOR HE WILL BETRAY YOU AND FALL OFF YOUR FORK."

When you look at the beginnings of Scientology and Mormonism, you soon realize we humans have the unfortunate ability to believe anything. Just because a 'faith' is centuries older doesn't make it any more authentic. In each case someone came up with an idea and 'sold' it to others. Some ideas stuck better than others, and now we take them as the 'gospel' truth. Thanks Hemant for helping to let the light in.

Why isn't anyone discussing a third option? Ex: we can transplant organs between people nowadays. Why not fetal / embryo transplants? Move the unborn baby from the pregnant woman to a woman who is struggling to get pregnant? No one dies, no one is forced to bring a child to term. Everybody wins! Structure it so that a pregnant woman is incentivized to undergo the procedure, but not so incentivized that she gets pregnant on purpose in future just to go through the transplant procedure. The world needs more problem-solving and less posturing.

I really like these videos, full of logic.
i am an agnostic but if i ever told my family about it they would probably treat me like i was not apart of their family and i have to hide this fact cause i am genuinely scared as to what their reaction would be any words of comfort
Oh my gosh! Yes! This is amazing! :3 thanks for the ideas!
I want to try the bingo thing
he deserves so many more subscribers
Thanks for posting your videos. Good stuff.
The bingo idea is brilliant haha. How funny would that be
Very great practical tips!

There is a preacher that goes to the college I went to and would say horrible things to the students. I was a Christian back then, and I stood next to the atheist and un-preached the preacher. I gave the students a lovely message too. The preacher put me down and called me a sinner. Lol. I love college, it was an eye opener for me, it made me really learn to think independently.
See Lisa Lampanelli response to Westborrow baptiste church (easy to find on youtube). When the Westboro Baptist Church boasted that they would picket comedian Lisa Lampanelli's show in Topeka, Kansas, on May 20, 2011, she decided to donate $1,000 to the Gay Men's Health Crisis for every protester who showed up.
I like and approve this message!

And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you."

One time I was at my cousins house, and he was having an issue with these door to door preachers trying to sell people calendars. Well, his wife's sister had posed in a swimsuit calendar for breast cancer awareness just recently, and they had a copy handy, so I ran out to meet these guys and with the straightest face I could muster (hardly) told them I was also selling calendars for a good cause. One of them was quite bashful but I did get a laugh out of the other. They never came by again.
The bigno card example is cool. I'm part of a facebook group for people who have pet rats, and "backyard-breeders" are a big problem in this area. They often come on the forums or the FB group to advertise their unethical breeding operations, and you can always tell a backyard breeder from a decent, ethical, legitimate breeder by a bunch of different things they say. So we created "backyard breeder bingo" and everyone who we all know well got copies of the a randomly arranged card, some of the spaces included "I don't need to get them vet care, my rats are healthy" or "there is nothing suspect about charging an extra fee for exotic markings," and whenever someone gets a bingo, they just type "BINGO" in the comments and the breeder has no clue what they are talking about. Backyard Breeder Bingo is awesome.

Great video. I think you need to change the title to '3 Creative ways...' instead of '4 creative ways...' (feel free to remove this comment once the fix is made. Keep up the good work.
I remember my midschool having a church built on campus. Course, it was always empty and the local taggers had some fun on its siding. Apparently the church bought a chunk of the land part of the campus. I wonder if its still standing?
So a interesting idea that I have seen done by Atheists is they create a pamphlet much like you could get from people preaching. You then just trade pamphlets and go about your way. Great for people who go door to door. When you answer and they hand you a pamphlet, say you have something for them and hand them one in return. Saves you time and if they want to argue whats in the pamphlet then that would be a more engaging discussion.
Great ideas religion is a poison to society
Pastafarianism FTW :D
Tell them about the part of the Bible where all the Penguins waddled through the Sahara Desert after they got off of Noah's Ark.
I rem a street preacher came to my college back in 99 named Brother Jim and he was extra crazy. Well there were some black students around him listening and arguing and he started talking about 2Pac burning in hell. They weren't having any of it and It was amazing to watch. Then he said to the girls they are going to hell for wearing jeans. Im amazed he made it out alive. I don't think he ever came back after that.
