>>15532696>Not really.>they basically have to keep going against their principles at least once per monthI literally wrote about that (so pre-answered that) here
>>15532689 "The vast majority of atheists don't give a cr*p about "principles". Why wouldn't they join a lodge if there was some selfish advantage to them in doing so."
> why would they remain when they find out they're not getting any of those selfish desires fulfilledWhy would anyone, but here we're now entering "if hypothetically", that's assuming they are not getting them fulfilled, however if they are getting them fulfilled, why would they not remain, and for an atheist, ok, once a month, lie/repeat/ritual, big deal, not a big deal to most of them at all, especially if there are benefits, (this can include hedonistic/degenerate benefits too).
Pic. atheists are relativists, don't believe in absolute morality, such people are more than happy to lie or perform a ritual for personal benefits/advances. Most (inc. those mocking religion) would be more than happy to convert to Islam at the first sign that being an atheist was a disadvantage or worse, would cost them their lives, they'd bow 5 times a day staring at other guys asses no problem.
Oh, I think I should add as a P.S. since the thread has been moved this will be my last post, have a nice day.
