There are people that think the world is flat, Bigfoot believers don't even move the needle at this point.

Skinwalkers and Wendigo too. Also the flat earthers probably believe in Bigfoot more than a person that believes the earth is round.

Theres so much ghost hunting content on YouTube. Im sure most of it the people doing it know its bullshit, but there must certainly be people filming that content that 100% believe it.

Because there's a finite and distinct amount of BELIEF in the universe, and with the younger generations all becoming atheists, all that BELIEF has flowed into other stupid channels, like believing in Bigfoot or aliens.

Or SCIENCE! (as opposed to "science") Or to put it another way, treating SCIENCE like a religion rather than, you know, an actual science.

Atheism doesn't have anything to do with that especially when a lot of Christians believe in demons.

Atheism has everything to do with that.

People used to believe in a lot of stupid things. Now they just believe in a lot of different stupid things.

The overall level of stupid belief remains unchanged, because people be dumb.

I'm not saying Bigfoot exists, because it probably doesn't, but until recently we also thought komodo dragons and giant squids were just some mythical creatures that didn't actually exist

There was no evidence of them until the early 1900s, everyone wrote them off as a myth before then.

It isn't hypocritical to be an atheist and believe in things like ghosts.

This isn't true. We knew they existed but couldn't catch a love one until fairly recently.

Yes they are. They're normally forced into a parent's religion, which is make-believe and magical sky men, and if you're bad you go to a magical land where you'll be tortured for eternity.

Adults believe in monsters because they believe in religion.

There's a part of me that wants to adjust that quote to "euphonic" and photoshop a euphonium in place of the dude's head, but every other part of me is far too lazy to actually do anything like that.
