Recently I happened to read a blog which says that (https://www.clerawindows.com/blog/is-window-condensation-a-negative-element-in-the-home/ (https://www.clerawindows.com/blog/is-window-condensation-a-negative-element-in-the-home/)) condensation is negative. I would like to know if it is harmful for health. Need more input in this regard from aethists out there.
Condensation occurs in the presence of humidity and low temperature. In homes it leads to mildew, which is bad for you. Where I live, if your house gets black fungus ... they have to tear it down, it can't be saved On the other hand, most of the time, condensation is a frog's best friend ;-)
Most every window gets some condensation. It really depends on how bad it gets and whether it dries up quickly or not. Window construction plays a role too..
There are just too many variables to across the board declare window condensation to be a negative. It could be your home just has very poor air circulation.

Why is the input from the atheist important to you?
Is the opinion on windows condensation from atheist differ from the theist? Where is the connection?
I am an atheist and I don't believe in condensation. So there.
if your a guy in a car in a lake yes quite so

Controversy aside, it is a heady thought.

When you get out of the shower, after washing your hair, you are supposed to dry your head. Mildew head is bad form.
If you would take the time to study the basics of air conditioning, I am pretty sure you would conclude that "condensation" is bad inside the house.
My first day at Great Lakes naval training there was about 9 inches of frozen condensation on the windows so yes, it's 100% pure evil probably made by Donald Trump..

Not probably. I saw him do it.

Condensation, scientifically speaking, is when a gas is cooled down to a liquid. You're right about mold/fungus though.
You just need to air our your room more, open some doors and get some breeze flowing. The worst case scenario will be wood rot around the window if condensation keeps up over years.
I keep one of the windows in my bedroom open all the time. Is that bad? Or should I only keep it open for irregular air circulation, instead of constant air circulation? It's an old house with too air-tight insulation and doesn't "breathe".
You could get a lot of good air vents since it is too cold to leave windows open in winter.
As a fully qualified and certified atheist who is currently a minister in both non-denominational Christian faith (it was the '90s and an internet ordination was what all the cool kids were doing) and atheism (it was a couple of years ago and it felt like the '90s all over again, except this time cool) I feel I am uniquely qualified to answer questions about condensation.
No, condensation is not harmful to you in the least. You can buy distilled water from the store for drinking. Distilled water is condensation. It is perfectly natural and healthy. However, having excessive moisture in an area for a prolonged time is healthy for other, smaller thing such as mold and mildew. Those things are not good for you.
just make sure to clean around the windows every few months to stop any build up.
