I posted this question on Reddit a while ago and it was an interesting discussion so I wanted to hear what Lemmings think.

It’s common for religious people to be against the above mentioned things due to their beliefs, but how common is it for atheists to be against them? What reasons would they have? How would they base their opinion if there was no belief system/religion to rely on?

I’m not trying to provoke or insult anybody with this question, and I don’t wish for people to hate on each other’s beliefs. I just think this is an interesting concept to think about.

    I wonder what is the excuse of non religious people that are against homosexuality.

    At least religious people have the excuse that a mighty superman god person said that homosexuality was wrong.

    Do non religious people just hate homosexuality for the sake of hating it?

      There’s a fairly easy argument to be made that since gay people can’t reproduce, it’s not natural.

      This is not my pov, but it’s an easy argument.

      I’m fairly certain he’s against it due to his upbringing and never bothering to question his “beliefs” on the topic.

      “Homosexuality is weird and wrong” (and it makes me doubt my own sexuality and masculinity) is probably the only driver behind it.
