Is Spider-Man atheist?

?

Edit: those of you who bring up Thor/other Asgardians, as captain America would say,"there's only one God, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that."

Who cares ? : D

Probably.

@darling_luna: I care deeply

@batmanwinsbecausewhynot: Unless he's killing goats in the name of Carl Sagan, then I don't mind.

Hopefully.

I'm at a loss to why it should matter even if he is or isn't.

It doesn't matter.

@zerosuituser:

Don't quote me. I'm drunk

...that seamed pretty obvious in your post, tbh.

LMAO.

He talked to God once and made a deal with the Devil an other time

Yep. I don't think anyone could talk to God and the devil and walk away an atheist.

@ryagan: Denialism can be a powerful ally

@ryagan: is there a one above all religion in marvel?

He literally spoke to god.

@ryagan: @reactor: lol. I saw a picture once of MCU cap, Tony and hulk. For cap it said "meets two gods, still a christian". For Tony it said "meets two gods, still an athiest". For hulk it said "meets trees gods, beats the carp out of them both"

It's already been said that he's encountered God but I don't believe that he follows the religion of Christianity that strictly. Aunt May probably does though. Could be wrong.

No, he's not.

@the_caped_crusader: beat me to it.

He supposed to be Protestant

If he's as smart as they say he is, yes.

The devil was just Mephisto though.

Geez, take it easy guys.

He's a southern baptist.

Hes a member of Mephisto's Church...

Atheism is the rejection of theism. Both terms are generally defined by theists as disbelief in the existence of deities and the belief in them respectively. Many people who identify as atheist actually reject the notion of worship or the existence of deities as defined by most theists more than they reject the notion that a deity could exist. The technical term for this is Apatheism, but being subject to the "perception is reality" paradigm of culture, Apatheists are lumped in with atheists.

Spider-Man is most likely an Apatheist in that he believes there is little point in following any specific notion of God and merely does his best as a mortal being.

There was this old website I remember checking out that said he was some kinda presbytarian? I dunno how credible that is, but I always just assumed he was something of a spiritual guy.

No.

How can anyone in Marvel be an athiest considering the stuff that happens.

@roboshark: Smart people can't be religious?

@the_caped_crusader: What comic is that from?

Sensational Spider-Man Vol. 2 #40.

Thanks.

I always thought he was kind of Jewy with the whole guilt thing, being from New York, and the old aunt not feeling well.......

He's from New York l, he's probably Jewish

@darthaznable: you're Atheist right? Why do you guys behave like you're superior to religious people. I'm not even religious, I'm agnostic and it bothers me.

^ I'm not surprised by it.

I'm pretty sure that he's been stated to believe in god at least once. I wouldn't respect him any less if he didnt.

When did I act like I was superior to anyone? Because I said "Hopefully"? Lmao bruh bye.

No, he's prayed to God quite a few times. I think he's non practicing christian with his own beliefs and doubts. Aunt May, has shown to be an active christian.

@mysticmedivh:

Mephisto is a demon though, he's basically a hell lord. The real devil has popped up in the Ghost Rider comics.

Exactly. What I'm saying is was that the devil they were referring to was just Mephisto and not the actual devil.

He has seen Thor, so....

I thought he was protestant?

@cable_extreme: it's kind of debatable whether or not Thor is an actual god though.
