| Is it just me or other people have noticed that recently a lot of anime tend to portray that there is no god and usually the main characters coolly deny god and say that they will destroy god .this really came to me as i was watching high school dxd and clearly in the anime they say that there are 3 factions : God , fallen angels and demons .

| They're just speaking the truth,there is no God that's that |

| Japan doesn't have the same religious bullshit you are used to in the West. |
| And it matters because? |
| I can't believe somebody took this topic into discussion. |

| As I understand it, Japan isn't really that religious. Or maybe you're just watching stuff where people have a need to shout "WELL. I FOR ONE DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD". |

Slayermaster said: As I understand it, Japan isn't really that religious. Really? I'd rather call it the contrary. The amount of prayer, tradition and superstitions that are often portrayed in anime is quite absurdly high. According to that, it seems their pantheistic beliefs are very rooted in their culture and daily lives. On atheist anime characters, not that I know what the hell are we discussing here, but Zoro is one of them. |
| Athiest Characters are the best IMO. |

INTERESTINGLY THEY SAY in the very next ep that god had died a few years ago and that archangel michael is doing his job ... also fullmetal alchemist has ed going around professing atheism to the rest of the world and religious people (cornello incident) are shown so often to be fooled . What do you guys think?/ Fullmetal Alchemist had that deal where ED would go professing atheism, yes, but the interesting part is that when he is trying to do an alchemy, he will stick hes hands together, like if he was praying. The character on FMA even commented the same thing, "It looks like those alchemists are praying to God, waiting for a miracle". I would not say the anime is promoting atheism, I would say it is the opposite. Remember that the "guy", you know who I am talking about, the guy inside the other dimension and shit, he said he was everything, including God. This is obviously a blasphemy, but I wouldn't say this is atheism as well. On the best option, FMA has , at the very least, a particular religion that does not exist on our world. |

| Atheism is a thing of simple, less educated people and most anime is an undemanding entertainment aimed at such viewers, so you can't be surprised they overuse the dumbest tropes in existence. It's the same as with tsundere, flat-chested characters or looser getting all the girls for no reason. It just sells to dumb masses. Well, this is one of reasons but this forum is not really a place to discuss more. You can see it from previous responses. |

Well, this is one of reasons but this forum is not really a place to discuss more. You can see it from previous responses. Basically this. As atheists are in constant war against theists, anime will simply give them some atheists characters, and will give theists some characters praying to escape an sticky situation. I do not agree with that, I think anime should not share any religion with the watchers, but well |

| Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus [341–270 B.C.] Problem solved. |
Atheism is a thing of simple, less educated people This is probably the bigger bullshit i read in my entire life |

lupadim said: He does not mean if you are not theist you are less educated. He means there are some atheists which are constantly bashing theists. Sometimes, you can't even speak the word "God" without a wave of 50 atheists screaming" OMFG BUT HE DOES NOT EXIST SHUT UP STUPID ASSHOLE DONT SAY THAT WORD AGAIN I AM AFRAID OF IT". happy. god |

People often see only what they want to see, you see? OT- There are maybe one or two older anime I can think of that deal with the idea of no god or killing god, but what's it matter? There are plenty of other fictional works that deal with this subject. |
| I'm sure it's already been mentioned in this thread but it bears repeating anyway: Atheism is a complete lack of belief in a deity. By saying that you plan to destroy God, you pretty much acknowledge that you believe in its existence. That said... No, I haven't noticed this trend. Mind you, I might watch different shows than OP does. |

renders said: Lupadim is correct many atheists verbally attack theists especially Christians just for believing in a higher power. If you believe in God atheists generally say you are illogical, uneducated, ignorant about Science, believe in fairy tales, believe in an old man in the sky etc. Atheists have this air of superiority about them as if theists are inferior and less educated than them.See Lupadim here is the perfect example of a kid raised by christian fanatics,and while he's an adult,he doesn't ask himself logical questions and doesn't have his own morals...just let's himself being brainwashed and being the thing that he is today...''the lupadim lol threads'' |

| I dont know wheter atheist or theists are right due to lack of proof on both sides, but I damn well know that atheism Is boring as hell. I mean honestly you got all the greek and nor gods and the whole demons and angels lore with religion and all atheists have are some extremely boring science theories. And dont even try to say its a known fact what happened 4 gadzillion years ago. |
