Discussing Kantian beliefs in a philosophy class, my friend raises her hand to give her input and out of nowhere makes the statement, "I am atheist because every other religion is based on fear of something." How can someone sum up their entire belief system, or lack there of, in that sort of sentence? Here's what I'm thinking:
1)She wants to be original
2)She wants to be the girl with the "dark side" or careless attitude
3)She thinks she is too "tough" to fear something greater
4)She wants someone to challenge her because she is really searching for something to passionately believe in.
5)She is so superficial, she hasn't given any thought to her religion or deeper reasoning, so she came up with this one statement so that she would have something to tell people on the topic.
6) She truly has no belief in God after putting true thought into it and she just presented her thoughts distastefully.

how about #6. She genuinly does not believe in god after careful consideration an study? Try talking to her about her beliefs with an open mind and heart. You might learn something about the nature of belief. Good luck
