You paint me in the other extreme corner, let's call me: homogeneous fascist.
There's a whole world in between these two demented extremes, but your mind is so black-and-white that I'm not even going to bother debating you. If you want to be a radical individualist then fine, but it's kind of ironic that you want to deprive me of the right to building something more substantial, ordered, compelling, instructive, educational, fulfilling, powerful, and lasting than individual anarchy (which will be consigned to the dust-bin of history by the first ordered/cohesive group that rises in the power vacuum that radical individualism leaves). History is about the struggle between groups. Only ordered/functional/cohesive groups survive. It's called group fitness, I believe, in evolutionary terms. Atheists, of all people, should understand this.
