– Religion. It comes in many, many different forms and just as many
different names and rules. But the vast number of religions and sheer number of
faithful that are out there have led to some very wrong assumptions. This is Myths You Still Believe, the series all about explaining the truth behind the most commonly believed myths. Today we’re going to be exploring some of the most common
assumptions and beliefs that you’ve heard of oh so many times that just aren’t true. So get ready, because this is 7 Myths You Still Believe About Religion. The Amish don’t use technology. There are many movies and TV shows that show off the Amish faith as a group of truly old-fashioned settlers with long neckbeards who have
completely turned their back on modern technology. You know, those old-fashioned
people that build huge barns with only a hammer, blood, sweat, and tears and some nails? Well, the truth is, the Amish have nothing against electricity or modern communication. They simply strive to promote modesty, necessity, productivity, and above all, community. As a matter of fact, they’re pretty cool with
most modern gadgetry and will even use it as
long as it doesn’t have a negative impact on their community. Believe it or not, it’s not
rare to find Amish villages with generators, solar power, or even battery-powered electricity. Religious freedom increases atheism. The United States Constitution
protects freedom of religion, which has led to many
claiming that that right has caused more citizens to turn away from organized religion. The notion has become that, when people are free to choose, they will turn to
atheism most of the time. However, according to a
poll conducted by ABC, only 13% of the U.S. population
identified themselves as having no religion or as atheist, while 15% of the entire
population of the world identified as the same. This comparison puts to bed the idea that religious tolerance alone affects the number of
atheists in the world. Honestly, at the end of the day, believe whatever you want to believe, as long as it doesn’t affect other people, and live and let live. There’s no Heaven or Hell in Buddhism. Non-Buddhists have usually
only read a brief summary of what the faith actually
represents and requires. Many believe that since there’s a cycle of rebirth in Buddhism, there exists no Heaven or Hell
within that belief system. Well, as it turns out, there
are actually multiple Hells. When it comes to the end of your life, Buddhists believe that
you’re awarded a Karmic rank which determines which of
the six realms of existence you will be sent to. You can come back as
a human on this plane, or go to the heavenly realm of Deva, which represents 30,000 years of pleasure. Or, of course, you could
also be banished to Naraka, which is the hell realms, which you’ll receive a
horrendous amount of punishment over and over again for eternity. So, yes, reincarnation occurs, but if you come back as a man who continuously burns to death
over and over for eternity, that’s on you. Being agnostic is the
same as being atheist. This myth can be traced
back to multiple religions grouping all “nonbelievers”
into a single group named atheists. The problem with that, though, is that there most
definitely is a difference between being agnostic and being atheist. While both do question the
existence of a higher power, the difference is is that atheists completely reject the idea. Agnostics, however, are simply
unsure of what to believe, and do not take a stance
on whether a higher power exists or not. Jehovah’s Witnesses deny
any medical treatment. Just like every other faith, being a Jehovah’s Witness
comes with a list of things that are allowed, and things
that, of course, are not. There is a myth that says
that one of their rules is that they cannot seek
medical treatment when needed. The truth is, Jehovah’s Witnesses obviously don’t want to die, and are, in fact, permitted by their faith to seek medical treatment when needed. There is a restriction, however, which is that blood
transfusions are disallowed. In fact, quite a few
Jehovah’s Witnesses have died refusing to allow another person’s blood to be put into their body. How this one restriction
became misconstrued as a denial of all medical treatment is anyone’s guess. Satanists worship evil. While many Christians will claim that Satan worshippers are embracing evil, Satanists, however,
will challenge that myth and bust it fairly quickly. Things that Christians consider evil may not be considered
evil by non-Christians. Take Lucifer himself, for example. While he’s seen as the embodiment
of evil in many faiths, to Satanists he’s seen
as someone who simply encourages individuality, free thinking, and standing up to what you believe in. In fact, they claim that his main goal is simply to lead people away from the “lies” of Christianity. Believe it or not, Satanism
promotes turning bad things into good things, rather than eliminating
bad things altogether. And many of its followers claim that the idea of an all good God versus an all evil Devil is simply propaganda. The Catholic Church
actively opposes science. With debates involving Creationists and TV show scientists
being broadcast for ratings and many religious factions
denying scientific discoveries, it’s pretty easy to see
how this myth was formed. However, the truth is, many
amazing scientific breakthroughs have occurred due to Catholic
scholarship and education. In fact, it was a Belgian priest named Monseigneur George Lemaître who proposed the Big Bang theory, an idea that theoretical
physicist Albert Einstein actually rejected. Soon after, Einstein received a letter from the Catholic father, which said “Your math is correct, “but your physics are abominable.” At the end of the day, my friends, try to keep an open mind, be accepting of others’ points of view, and just spread the love.

(groaning)
alot of Satanist consider themselves as their own Gods
alot of Christians believe in stuff that isn’t true, im a Christian myself but im more educated, like
no one is in Heaven or Hell right now, they are all asleep, waiting on Jesus second coming
you don’t burn in Hell for eternity
you only stay in Heaven for 1,000 years
the Devil/Satan doesn’t have horns nor does he look ugly, he is still a beautiful Angel, even though he has fallen
the israel 🇮🇱 star, which is also known as the Star of David ✡️ is evil and Satanic and Whiches use it
Santa is an Antichrist, Santa is evil, just push the letter N in Santa to the back and it spells “Satan”
and there is many more, feel free to ask me to explain and i will
Okay, I think I'm ready to surrender and go Amish NOW!!!!! lmao
How do you get this type of job this guy is funny you know he enjoys if,…
What about you Matt? Are you a Theist, an Atheist, a Deist, or an Agnostic (if you don't mind me asking)? For some reason I get the vibe that you are Agnostic
Here's one: that atheism isn't one.
I guess that Satanism is a better end, especially due to maybe even helping others avoid imperialism and worshipping a tyrant. Because the bible was playing out more like an empire than what the people commonly say that was a lie in the first place…
Though I do not believe in religion, plus it is not a worthy storyline to read, all due to the set up and the messages and other piss poor details involved in general terms.
And for the bible, please write a better book. The bible seems more of a boring book to read. Rather read Isaacs Storm, which is off of history, rather then a fictional book series shoved into one lazy and boring book.
Don’t trust the Amish my farther payed them to build a new part of our house while he was a work and came back to a huge mess of broads being placed wrong and like 50 nails in one broad it was werid how many was in just one broad
You missed how Christians are not pro-slavery or pro-war
Totally irrelevant to your channel but yours hot af
It's kind of dumb because im a Christian but alot of my family says that anybody that believes in anything else is going to hell. I think about it the other way around, live the way you want to live. 😃
This doesn't even feel like the same youtuber lmao when did he go from this to cringy and somewhat spazzy
Unless your a atheist
I wonder if people understand the full meaning of the word "religion". Any kind of thought system or code of behavior can become a religion fir an individual or a group of like minded people.
Umm.. Love your videos, but you showed Mormons as Jehovah's Witnesses. I am not a Witness. 😂😂
I'd like to add that myth how Muslims worship another god named Allah. Allah is actually the Arabic word for G-d.
Just because a person is of a certain religion, nationality, creed, etc., it doesn’t mean they follow the script. Take modern day Christians, for example, I don’t know any that follow all the alleged teachings of Christ. Instead they pick and choose as they go along so they experience no discomfort in their chosen lifestyles.
For starters this guy DOES NOT KNOW the difference between atheist and agnostic. Most agnostics are indeed atheist. Atheist simply means without theism. So if you are not absolutely convinced that a deity exists, you are atheist. He tried to claim that atheist somehow means anti-theists. Anti-theism is separate from atheism. Mistakes like this are extremely bad for the conversation. That's almost 4 million people that have been given BAD information. SMFH!
Music name please
Facts are Jesus wasn't even a actual man and Bible is just a translation of stories of life and teachings before hand man just raped and edited to meet there agenda same with caste systems and other fear drivin slave type man made leaders
Satan is a liar a thief and a stealer
1 myth is that Satanists believe in Satan they don't they believe in peace and not molesting children
About Satanism, ill probably never meet a satanist anytime soon, sooooo if i do meet one and he challenges me about Christianity, ill have flimsy evidence like at school when I argued with my friend about religion
My Nan told me that people who believe in religion have been brainwashed.
People what we got to understand is religion or no religion life is about how we treat ourselves and others.
I love Matthew he's one of my favorite youtubers
Buddhism was started by an Indian man. Buddha didn't felt that Hinduism ( sanatak religion the real name of Hinduism) was proper so he started his own religion
Love freely help freely give freely… who's lee?
Does free thinker mean I don't know what to believe in but I believe there is a god?
My old classmate died because of that
No. 8: it's true
And Satanist don't worship Satan. He's just seen as a character in a book.
Why believe in anything absolute- because truth is singular.
Watching this vid convinced me to turn into a satanist.. thanks matt!! Lol jk jk
Bahahahaha, dude, you are talking about Jehovah's witnesses and have a picture of a BUNCH of LDS Missionaries (Mormons) in a church building. We have the picture behind them in like EVERY building. I don't expect anyone to know/care about that but it did make me laugh so freaking hard 😀 Love ya!
Don't buy anything from the Amish !!! They run puppy mills where the poor animals live in horrendous conditions ! Barely feed , live in cages outside , absolutely no vetting so they are so ill! Then sold to pet stores!
666 is not the devils number, there is no devils number, that includes 3am
If you call the number 666 at 3am then you'll talk to satan. This is 100%
What if none of us beleived them in the first place
Where do we go when we die?
Nobody
Me reading comments while watching Any video
My friend is Amish and he never has used technology just live here do you know where the IPhone is.
Do a top ten about things we didn’t know about satan!
Another myth: 666 is not the number of the Devil, but the number of the beast from the Earth that draws its power from the Devil.
Another one: Genesis doesn't automatically oppose the theory of evolution, because the order of Creation is very similar to the standard evolutionary family tree.
Another one: It is not true that you have to wait until marriage before having sex if you're a christian, it's just that you need to stay with the one you do have sex with.
As a Christian I don’t believe that Satanists see Lucifer as a person who wants freedom. He fell from Heaven for a reason! 😂
Religion causes more death, destruction and misery than anything else on Earth.
Ugh and PLEASE remember atheism does not mean we worship Satan. Grr i hate that and YES we do have a reason to love and live! ❤
OK let's put it this way their is no such thing called religion but God is? Who is he? Well u can find and read in the 3 books which had been written by multiple authors to make 1 book the bible, or let's say other religions book what do they teach us? The God is not inside the book he's not inside ur head he's everywhere why read about him? Why don't u invidually ask the God urself how he is or she is if the gender was in book biased as male OK I get it he's he now I don't believe anything written about him in those book are 100% true, but it's codes, some says ie Atheist the God of Bible is a dictator self lover jealous God etc, but forgets that's he is also merciful and all forgiving too, I felt the same way when I refused to believe what Bible portrays God character specially in old testament, when he couitnues punishments Israel's for their alleged sins or ignorance of not worshiping him but other God's? That makes me wonder busted so other gods existed too? No nothing existed untill u start imagining urself, then comes Jesus who do nothing but do good heal all sickness of ppl and died for people for their own sins but he himself is sinless, that's right 👉 some says Jesus was or is fake well coming to freethinking like said respect ppl view and their belief, so my believe I don't know what ya all think real or fake But me he's my saviour he's someone I can call yes that's my God so loving caring that he gave up his own life for us, he turn me an ex Atheist to believer, he proofed himself he showed me in form of many impossible things in my life possible he did miracles which can only be done by God when I called his name yes he answered he showed me, why? how? I can write books but trust me, I respect everyone that's what we should all do not be judge, please we aren't here to judge or condemn each other we are here to spread love and peace ✌️
Great teeth Matt.
OK let's everybody choose a belief system that we like. If the end result or the process of getting there is something you think you can deal with then it's true (lol).
It's not that exciting. Sheesh.
1 myth you still believe about religion: that it's true
I'm a viking
Nonetheless; flying in the same aeroplane with a person of Jewish faith covered in a man-sized plastic bag above certain route must've been an epic experience.
There was a kid in my science class who literally preached all hour and we nicknamed him the pope and that's why I'm atheist.. lmao
I am a satanist and a good person so is my lord
Thanks for debunking that myth about Jehovah's Witnesses!
I have studied various religions extensively (hobby of mine) and you would not believe how many people get the facts wrong on not just J.W.'s but most religions in general. It's crazy! Read people don't just assume that everything someone tells you is true!
And that's about anything not just religion, people put way too much faith in things they've heard through the grapevine or in public school. You actually need to crack a book now and then. Lol!
Believe what you whant to believe as long as its let live
I can asure you islam is not that
Mathew definitely be letting the homies take turns blowing his back out dudes a flamer 🧚♂️
I like this make it a new all the time series:
1: did not know interesting
2: I knew this
3: I knew this as well, they have "many lifetimes" to get their chance to go to their place
4: I am Agnostic, I am not atheist, and unlike the Athiest religion(yes they act as a religion) a faith in non-belief, I as an Agnostic are one of the few people that are right, the correct answer until ….proven otherwise is "I don't know" but live your life as if there were a god, in other words, don't be a dick to everyone. most "devout" atheists are dicks
5: never knew much of witnesses, I knew 1 kid when I was a lad, his parents never let him do anything. and they had a tv but only watched 1 show on Sunday some preacher guy. only the hardcore ….deep cult sects refuse medical treatment
6: When I was a teen I was a Satanist, a true Satanist worships no devil, or even believe in one, it is more like a slap in the face edgy name but the idea is overly religious people are boring, and we ….are going to have fun, call that evil if you will we will be Satanists. Do what thou will is the whole of the law. "Evil" is "Fun" but I am Agnostic
7: partially right, Catholics today are totally different, but millennia ago "science" could have had you executed, persecuted for sure
Conclusion: I believed none of these myths, except the Amish, I was surprised to learn they used things like generators, other than that. yay me (but I am not a PC/SJW type those people know nothing while thinking they know everything)
Let’s play a game: guess a country by it’s law. In my region I have to pay a penalty for not being religious. Also $100 for not wanting to be heterosexual and, moreover, talking about it.
JESUS is the only path to truth.
Here are a couple things you missed: 1. The words “immortal soul” aren’t anywhere in the Bible. 2. The word “Trinity” appears no place in the Bible. 3. The word “hell” comes from three different original words – none meaning a place to torture people forever. 4. No place in the Bible states that Sunday is a day of worship. 5. It is impossible to count three days and three nights from Friday and get Sunday. These are just a few off the top so to speak.
Wow most of theese commenters are athiest’s or satanist.
How ironic 7 myths about religion, and you posted a picture of MORMON missionaries on 3:54 JW are not mormons!!!! Hahahah
idk if im just getting older, but ive been christian, dabbled in buddhism, congregated with jehovahs witness, have agnostic thoughts, will never understand atheism but the satanists, as described in this list, resonates with me the most. im just listening like "I can get behind that"
One day you will see the living God and you will see that you wasted your time Jesus is the way the truth and the life seek him and you will find him he can change your life if you let him work in you I am telling you the truth I know that my God lives Give it a try. Why not what do you have to lose go to him he is there waiting for you.
There is a GOD!!!!!!
I am a buddhist and we actually don't believe in heaven or hell. It's an agnostic idea so a buddhist can believe in it, however what you're saying is only in the mythology but not actual belief. Also reincarnation is also a common myth about budhism, it is in Hinduism but it's another agnostic idea in buddhism
Another myth: Pagans worship the devil. We do not, we honor the old gods of pre Christian times.
Everyone in the comments need Jesus 🤦🏻♂️
clown
Jehovah's witnesses are bad boys in Australia by rapping their girls the one girl was up set because dad was nailing her as to the bad and her younger sister too
Very interesting. I'm an Atheist. Yes. 😊
That satanism explanation sounds like a bunch of bologna.
keeping it 100 great video
I belive that im the true god of hummanity
Well there are people who worship Satan and there are those who don’t
Strip away the fear of death or the unknown, and there shines the same love in us all. Whatever your religion, just respect others. We’re not all the same but in the end we all end up in the same place. We’re all human and that’s all that matters.
I honestly watch way too many atheists channels and I have never heard anyone say that the freedom of religion leads to atheism, (straw-man logical fallacie)
Zatanism is like saying all cristian denominations, it is wrong, some denominations of satanists actually want do do evil but other like for example “the temple of zatan) actually see zatan as a simbol of the things this video is advertising
Those were mormon missionarys not jws
Im agnostic atheist. I lack belief in all deities but do not claim knowledge that they do not exist as I believe that is unknowable. Gnostic atheists claim knowledge that deities do not exist. So while separately, the technical definitions are as were stated here, there are grouped definitions as well.
Love your videos!
Thank you so much for that true Words about my Religion.
Greetings from a Satanist 😉
The whole athiesm percentage comparison is flawed imo, true religious freedom is rare no matter what laws say. Parents force religion upon their children almost everywhere, if not for this religion would have died off already
Pope w the most
It's a myth that agnostic means they're not sure if they believe or not. Actually, there are theist agnostics and atheist agnostics. Agnosticism is the philosophical stance that absolute knowledge over the existence or non existence of god isn't or can't be known. Being an agnostic is a separate idea to someone's belief on the existence or non existence of god.
One more fact hinduism is not polytheistic .
It's actually henothestic .
We believe in one God but don't deny the existence of other dieties
Actually, although it is true that Buddhists do indeed have multiple hells, cycling back on the reincarnation and karma effect, you won't burn there for eternity. Think about it. At some point, "eternity" has to have an end just like everything else in the universe. Therefore, you only remain there for as long as the bad karma you've committed in the mortal world. Then, you reincarnate as to make up for the time lost in the soul's "recycling energy cycle" (or REC). You can't make it to Heaven until you've gone to Hell first. 😁
JW’s can’t only not have transfusions, they can not have any type of operation that requires blood even their own pumped outside if their body and put back in, their belief is it becomes tainted and is not sacred.
I am messenger of God i will give love and peace please follow me
Haha! You put a picture of Missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints up when talking about Jehovah witnesses. They aren’t the same religion. 😄
Jehovah's witnesses not accepting blood transfusions has always seemed silly to me. They're just…. gonna die???
This was a good one. I didn't know about some of the topics you covered, and I'm glad I watched this through.
In Buddhism, there is a hell and heaven. And what he said is right. Once you die, you can either be reincarnated as a Human or an Animal. The two types of hell is, Nuraka and the Asura path. The two heavenly ones are Deva (pronounciation according to Hindi, is Deava) and some thing related to ghosts I don't remember. Look up "Samsara" i.e the wheel of life and death. Yes, I am an Indian and a Mahayana Buddhist.
Religion was invented by people.
Forget all these religions as a religious historian specialist I prefer only the sikh faith it is the only true faith that can still fit into the modern non cave times and benefits all those around it not like others that literally suck the life out of u!!!
The religious group that refuses any medical treatment are Christian Scientists not Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in blood transfusions because they feel it's sinful of something.
Thank you for clearing up the Jehovah witness issue.
I’m in study with them and they have legal God commands that we abstain from blood because what it represents is sacred to him documents stating what is allowed during medical treatments. There are strategies in place to avoid and control blood loss.
As a religious standpoint, God commands that we abstain from blood because what it represents is sacred to him.
