and they're all more different from each other than atheists and theists are from each other!!!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Typical theists versus typical atheists
July 3, 2017 at 9:50 am
Typical atheist: doesn't believe in a god
That's it. Fin. That's the end of the description of a typical atheist.
I don't look to "certain scientists" for my beliefs. Nor do I only believe things directly from science. Nor do I follow rules because of who created them. Nor do I follow rules because they are "approved by privileged elite."
I think for myself and reason through ideas and look for reasons to believe them. If I can find none (or no logical or rational reasons), then I tend to disbelieve them

Why do all theists think atheist = science?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Correlation error? Many scientists are atheist, so they assume all atheists are scientists or into science? Many atheists point to scientific evidence that refutes theistic claims, so theists assume atheists only follow science?

Yes, and by me telling somebody I am an atheist it's often funny to see the many things they will then assume about me and my other beliefs. My atheism jut tells you I don't believe in gods, it doesn't tell you squat about anything else I believe, disbelieve or my worldview or any ideology I may or may not hold. That all requires a whole host of further discussion the is too often assumed.
But when somebody say, tells me they are Christian, I am quite happy to take them at their word and discuss beliefs, the funny times is when you meet another one who tells you that what the first one had said means they are not a really a Christian. Does anybody have a reliable "Credible Member of their Faith" detector?

Nope. The definition of Christian is clearly fluid. And that fluidity seems to be specifically so they can label other people as "not really Christian"

So it seems you chose to join the master/follower game in the human jungle as an atheist.
By the way, I bet that all gods you heard of have each a certain heavenly ruling system.
But it happened that I personally don't trust any ruling system; claimed being inspired by Heavenly or Earthly Elite.
Your dickhead, Kerim

What of a hypothetical (as of yet) deity that requires as a condition of Salvation, for a follower to blow Jesus out their ass ???
AHA !!!
I got you now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You really amaze me... What Salvation and Jesus are doing in here?!
But it is not bad or wrong to imagine things for fun. It seems you are quite well in this
