in 2020 there is a resurgence of faith due to a growing lack of education around the world and thye start to ostracise scientists/athiest.

To which country do they all flee

[Anonymous No.1791743]

Antarctica. There are only research bases there, nothing else.

[Anonymous No.1791751]

The Galapagos. Just to be ironic.

Antarctica and the Galapagos aren't countries.

I say Sweden. They are atheist and present the Nobel prizes.

Antarctica, where a city will be built into the ice using geothermal energy. Nuclear weapons will be placed strategically around ice sheets. If anyone threatens the fledgling nation the nuclear detonations will cause massive ice sheets to slide into the ocean, causing massive flooding and tidal waves across the world.

That isn't irony. Irony is something unexpected. He called himself an idiot and misspelled idiot, which is what you would expect an idiot to do.

Japan I guess. I believe they have the lowest percentage of christians compared to any developed country (~1-2%), and basically no muslims or other seriously religious people, and they aren't too shabby at science either. In fact if you combined Japan and South Korea's total scientific research last year they'd surpass the U.S's output. South Korea is a lot like Japan but with more Christians and generally more retarded (look up something called "fan death), so I'd rather go somewhere else.

Ideally I'd pick a European country, but I'd beware because of all the muslims immigrating there, within like 40 or 50 years OP's scenario will actually be basically true in parts of Europe.

Yeah, except along the outer wall. Most have a noticable incline to the glass that doesn't fit furniture and that I kept bashing my head on when getting up in the middle of the night to take a shit.

An outer wall apartment has about 1/3rd less space than the rest but they're in the highest demand. People have weird priorities.

It has a strong democracy, is out of the way and is mainly white (despite what you weeapboos(sp?) think the asians don;t like you).

New Zealand, we already got a substandard high school education system (University's are top tier though) and we still got a lot of atheists (new generation, a lot of older people consider themselves to be christian but most of them would be dead or near death by 2020)

[Anonymous No.1792006]

>>1791996
Well, I guess we can't stop you. I quite liked the low population density here, but I'd sacrifice that for helping out science.

One thing, though. We are completely unable to defend you, or ourselves, if the more powerful nations want to wage war on us due to our embrace of science.

It's too loud to sleep (as usual) so you're stuck with me for the time being.

You guys really call yourselves atheists? Like, in ordinary conversation? If someone asks, you say "I am an atheist"? That's bizarre.

britain, really nobody seems to give a fuck about religion except muslims, and they are easily eradicated. got oxford and cambridge universities, great thinkers and scientists, powerful military, island nation so defence against invasion. what more could you ask.

[Anonymous No.1792016]

>>1792008
Not everywhere. On this site where we are anonymous we do, but in real life I personally try to keep my lack of religion to myself, and most others in my area are quiet about their religious views. What's it like in your time?

We could move into space or underwater (inb4 Rapture). I know it's not feasible but I want to believe.

[Anonymous No.1792022]

>>1792006
If we embraced science then we could develop new technology and weapons faster, we would be behind in numbers but we would have better guns

And we are an island nation that is mostly rural, aka a guerrilla fighters wet dream (the ultimate equalizer, just look at the Taliban vs US, nearly 10 years of rape by cave dwelling retards), and we got alot of guns for our population size (1 gun for every 4 people, not including the military's ones)

No, I mean, it'd be like saying you're a germ theorist or a globularist. Obviously people at the time identified as those things but they quickly fell out of use for obvious reasons later on.

It just sounds weird. Picking out an implicit and largely irrelevant aspect of reality and stating it. Probably needed stating in 2010 but if it's any consolation that won't last.

But surely they would appreciate a large number of scientists and engineers in a time of crisis. And, since we're considering which would be the best country (not the most zoophilic, sheepfucker), Japan wins...

Besides, Japan would allow for excellent protection, and in becoming more technology-centric (and having everywhere else cease progress) Japan would wind up with an army of robots and lasers and shit, making it indestructible and eventually the conqueror of the world. Which would happen.

I guess. There are small religious populations in most habs but their beliefs are dilute to the point you wouldn't recognize them. Most consider their god or gods to be metaphorical and believe that was the intended meaning all along.

It's silly but they're quiet and unassuming to the point of invisibility and it's no secret that it's because of remnant terrorism. Given what outsiders believe, the sincere Christians living in any given hab will naturally hesitate to rock the boat lest they appear sympathetic or even complicit with the outsiders. That's the fear I think, it doesn't take much to get a Christian to launch into a defensive, apologetic tirade about how they can't be lumped in with the outsiders even if nobody in the room said anything to that effect.

I wish Singularians were that reserved and respectful. Or that they could be legally marched outside and left there.

>Implying they'll want to risk an all out confrontation when we've developed Star Trek style Phasers and energy shields

The shields sound like a longshot, but they can already be done primitively now. Something like a plasma trapped in a magnetic field I think it is.

With no social stigma and ample funding our productivity would be through the roof. Like wartime periods where suddenly the government is throwing a shit load of money at science and organising research. Look what happened from that, your laptop is a direct result.

And who's going to develop new stuff for the army of the rest of the world in this futuristic vison where scientists are ostrasied. It will go from being nerdy, to a complete social nono to study science at school in these countries. They'll go back to sending in human waves
