Someone linked me a thread of them (presumably) arguing against the holocaust out of nowhere. Something best saved for a different thread I'd say. 

Doesn't seem very relevant to an atheist forum but hey, I suppose it's about the "skepticism" too.

Wouldn't spend a minute on a forum like this, in fact, would think it a stupid waste of time. My experience online is quite different. I refer to the later, those who post on forums like this, as militant atheism. They typically don't react well to that, naturally, but hell, they typically don't react too well to anything this militant theist says. 

Let's set aside God for a while and talk atheism. 

Do you think that participation here is indicative of something more than a purely theistic or Biblical objection, or as I suspect, a sociopolitical objection? the usual reaction to this question is to say that atheism is a rejection of God. Nothing more, but really, posting on a forum like this reflective of that? Of nothing except a rejection of gods? 

Please don't respond with just personal attacks unless you have something more substantial to say. That sort of response only masks something else.

"Atheist" merely means "off" on claims of deities/God/gods, nothing more. Outside that we just as diverse on any given subject so ultimately you have to ask that individual atheist what their position is on any given subject. We are not a monolith.

You couldn’t be more wrong. ‘Atheist’ means ‘delusional, ignorant wet-brains fiercely committed to the destruction of society, the elimination of personal freedom, and the founding of a one-world dictatorial government whose chief purpose will be to use Christians as fodder for pay-per-view spectaculars.’

Don’t believe me? Ask a Christian.

Sounds like a good plan, honestly.
