As I understood it it attaches a whole bunch of ideology to atheism. Hence: Atheism +

And herding atheists is like herding cats.

Well the chaps over at a+ are pretty good at herding cunts. Oh, they also don't like any language that has overt sexual connotations to it - but they're more than happy to call people cocks.

In fact, FaF, you should read this as it highlights the issues that many people have with a+ - http://www.atheistrev.com/2013/10/what-a...-been.html

From what I can gather, unless you're in lockstep with their ideas, might not be the best decision to join.

If they don't like sexual innuendos I would inevitably be banned within a short time of joining anyways

Shameless harlot.

The obvious conclusion is that they don't use their cocks for sex. Big surprise there, eh?

Well put. I must add that atheists, unlike cats, will turn around and scratch the shit out of you rather than dart off in a random direction.

I think that's probably the reason for all these fences they put up
If I remember correctly Atheism + was meant to be open to all, defining the ideology in open discussion and in a democratic way and stuff. Not sure what happened next. I do remember people complaining they were not allowed to voice their opinions on there.

Oh, we are not judging them for their intentions, we are judging them for what they've done.
