But seriously folks. Maybe one of the reasons some atheists get angry is that theists, as a rule, simply don't listen. Years and years of misrepresentation by theists regarding atheism and atheists gets a little wearing. We've explained over and over that:
-Atheism is not a religion
-Atheism is not a belief system
-Atheists are not intrinsically unhappy
-Atheism has bugger all to do with evolution
-Atheists are (generally) in favour of religious freedom
-Atheists are not waging a 'war on Christmas'
-Atheists aren't going to start believing in gods simply because Blaise Pascal didn't figure the odds correctly
-There is nothing about atheism which makes one inherently immoral
-Atheism doesn't preclude anything other than a belief in gods
And plenty more. We've explained these to you over and over and over, and you keep repeating them as if they're some sort of new revelation that's going to destroy non-theism once and for all. So yes, we get a little testy.
