That has happened to all ideologies.  It turns into something else.  Just because you adhere to one aspect of it doesn't define the whole.  When there are certain legalities attached to it, like government benefits and exemptions, then that's the definition we go by.  If you have some independent definition for yourself, that's your choice and I'm certainly not knocking you for it.  Regardless, what you're experiencing is exactly what has happened to every other major religion/ideology in the world.  Welcome to the party.
It was never ideology to start with so it can't turn into anything let alone another ideology . I don't adhere to anything because there is nothing to adhere too and yes what I'm stating is the whole wholly apart from myself . Legally being protected to not accept a proposition means nothing . It's not independent definition it's THEY DEFINITION and again it has nothing to do with me . It has nothing to do experience and again it's not a religion thus this comparison is false and there is no party . 

I don't know how I must repeat this atheism is the lack of non belief god that's it nothing else . Anything else has nothing to do with atheism not even legal protections from  religion .

I would add though that "But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force;" should be tempered by Justice and Law and not more subjective emotional reactions, otherwise the pendulum continues.
Good point, although I would personally also add immediate self-defense as another factor in addition to Justice and Law. Then again, I'm pretty sure immediate self-defense is included in Justice and Law. Personally, the "Martial Pacifist" ideal seems to be the best way of putting it into practice.

After all, when Popper wrote his work about the Paradox of Tolerance, as much as he talked about it through the lens of Socrates and Plato, the fact that he was Jewish and writing this in the early 1940s points to his being concerned with the #1 biggest example of why it can be necessary to protect tolerance in a less-than-tolerant way.

Why am I not surprised you didn't post the whole bit they had up on atheism?

Anyway, here's a fuller explanation of atheism, especially in regard to the origination of the term.  This is from encyclopedia.com

Early modern Christian writers often failed to distinguish between non-belief in "the true God" and non-belief in a supreme being per se, and atheism usually meant the assertion of the non-existence of the Judeo-Christian God. Strictly speaking, however, atheism is the denial of the existence of a divinity. As such, it is different from agnosticism (a suspension of belief on the question of God's existence) or simple theological heterodoxy. In the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries, however, the term atheist was used without great precision, even carelessly. The epithet was applied to religious dissidents, political enemies, and debauched libertines, usually with little concern for a person's real beliefs on the question of God's existence. Thus, when the sixteenth-century French cleric and writer François Rabelais (c. 14941553) was accused of being an atheist because of the fun had at religion's expense in his comic novels Gargantua and Pantagruel, he lost no time in returning the charge at his sectarian opponents. Agnostics and religious skeptics; rationalists, deists, pantheists, materialists, members of dissenting religious sects, or those belonging to no recognized confessional religion; moral, religious, and political subversives; and general non-conformists as well as true unbelievers were all called atheists. In this respect, the early modern period was no different from earlier historical eras. As Socrates himself had discovered, "atheist" was a convenient label for any person who did not believe what everyone else believed and who showed independent, critical, and iconoclastic tendencies.

It's a loosely used term.  Get it?  You keep saying it has to be something, and it doesn't.  It applies to more things than are even being suggested by me and has been for many years.  You just define it differently to fit whatever it is you want to believe, and it's fine, but your beliefs don't apply to everyone.  There, now you don't have to deny scientific journals and accuse people of being in cults being they were singing.

Right, National Geographic is "ill-conceived" and singing makes someone part of a cult.  I can't buy into your dogma, so no point in continuing this.  bye bye.
