Stop calling atheists 'fundamentalists'

RE: Stop calling atheists 'fundamentalists'
Quote:What is zeh rule again?

Quote:Lack of belief in gods, the single rule.

That's not a rule, that's just atheism per se, it's like saying the heart beating is a condition to be alive. If there is no belief, you're an atheist, even if you dislike it. The difference is the lack of belief in gods can be questioned every time, I could search for god and start believing, there is no punishment for it in my optic, therefore fundamentalism doesn't exist. Fundamentalism would be if I believed no gods exist and continued to do so despite evidence to prove the supernatural being presented.

I don't consider lack of belief in gods as a rule to atheism, it's not a rule, atheism doesn't have any rules or dogmas, the lack of belief is what constitutes atheism. Not to mention not all atheists lack belief in gods, some atheists believe no gods exist (gnostic atheists), there goes your single rule
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
