Cohen the Barbarian not my favourite discworld character. As Sam Vimes, Death, Susan Death, The Librarian and many others are ahead of him. Still a great character.

This OP is just invested in poisoning the well. Atheists that are former atheists never were true religionists, those that never were are ignorant...

This is what I bother with it:

What well?

I see no difference between that character making or not making these claims. If directed at us, I couldn't give a shit. If directed at fellow theists, it doesn't make their perception any worse anyway.

Yeah, considering atheists to all be drinking from the same well is exactly the kind of attitude that leads to ignorant nonsense like this.

It shows a mindset so frazzled that they assume atheism works like a religion.

Because that's the only concept they can compute. Individualism is something alien to many of them.

Despite the OP's huffing and puffing about our alleged ignorance, it's telling that his/her disappearance pretty much coincided with several members asking, in this and other threads, for positive evidence that Christianity is true and a reasonable faith to embrace.
