Philosophical discussion and Religion

Re: Philosophical discussion and Religion

@The_Jinx

but in case of an atheist, for example, discussing a philosphical matter will never touch upon religion, hence, the argument is given that religion is not necessary for a philosphical discussion. Do such discussion encompass all areas of the subject or you do need to touch the boundaries of religion somewhere in order to present your understanding?

First we have to decide if we take the ideas of atheists as valid to even consider in this discussion!!

Just kidding!

Anyhow this is not true that atheists ignore religions, much of their thoughts do revolve around what religion says or religious people do, on the other hand religious people consider atheistic views either sinful, or most of religious people are happy without knowing what atheist-centered philosophy is.

OK what you might have meant that atheists have philosophical views without religion, but again, atheism itself a form of religion without concept of a deity or God.

One thing for sure, much of humanity based philosophy has come from other religions.

I do know people like Bill Maher or others bring religious scriptures which might ask for seemingly inhumane ideas, but eventually religious people do see and can see the essence of the philosophy and not what is on the surface.
