Why does it seem many people who take on the name anarchist are also atheists?

Question

not all atheists are anarchist...but it seems anarchists are largely atheists...

Answer 1

most anarchist reject organized religion because of the fact that it is based on hierarchy, so don't mistake the fact that some anarchsits don't to church as being athiest.

Answer 2

The operative word in your latest ignorant screed is "seem".

Thus, your screed fails under the Fallacy of Personal Incredulity.

Your grade remains F-

Answer 3

Right.. and from  where did you get his  VALUABLE information?

Answer 4

"Anarchism is a political philosophy encompassing theories and attitudes which support the elimination of all compulsory government, i.e. the state. Anarchism is defined by The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics as "the view that society can and should be organized without a coercive state."

Now I am sure you meant it as some kind of slur, but that just shows how ignorant you really are.

Answer 5

Hmmm...why is it that all scammers, thiefs, frauds and pedophiles that take on the name of preacher, pastor, televangelist and priest are Christians?  Coincidence?  Me thinks not

Answer 6

maybe because an anarchist is against the establishment, the government and the way they rule, which is often by using religious ideals in some way

thats the old explanation of an anarchist and what they want and why they do what they do

Answer 7

Where is your evidence for this?

Oh, I forgot, Bakunin's 'God and the State'.

Of course, you know it off by heart.

Answer 8

Closest I've seen to anarchists in quite some time are White Supremacists (Christian faiths), and suicide bombers (Muslim faith).

Exactly who are the anarchists?

Atheistically yours,

JM Gendron.

Answer 9

I see yet again you have absolutely no evidence to back up your claims.  

Answer 10

Oh, sorry to destroy your pathetic little hypothesis, but I call myself an anarchist pagan.

Answer 11

You are doing a fine job at making yourself look idiotic tonight.

Answer 12

I think they use it to flaunt their atheistic ways in the face of Christians

Answer 13

Oh? I have never noticed that. But thats probably because its not true.

The last anarchist I met was Hindu. And he was a pacifist.

Answer 14

If you believe that anarchy is a viable political philospohy, it stands to reason that no authority (especially one that claims absolute authority) would be viewed upon as a "good thing"...

...I think your question though is about 100 years too late, and not many people hold to an anarchist position...the closest thing in American politics would be the non-intrusive/the "gov't that governs least, governs best" philosophies - and they still want to make sure the roads are clear and the plumbing works...

EDIT:  And s**y Thor is right...why are so many Christians spending time trying to refute the arguments of atheists when you've got "Bible believing" Christians like the KKK in your midst?  How's about removing the log in your own eye before trying to remove the splinter you think is in others?

Answer 15

Whats wrong with Anarchists?

Most of them are peaceful, it's only a small militant percentage that are violent.

At least we can be fairly certain the all KKK members are Christian

Answer 16

I'd like to see your evidence that backs this up.

Or are you just making more slurs against atheists?

Daft.
