I understand completely - there is no guarantee that another atheist has the personality traits and shares the values that are most important to you just because she or he is an atheist.  But that is also true for me and other Germans, and no one would deny that I am a part of a shared German culture. Similarly, as a western English speaking atheist today one likely shares some cultural symbols and knowledge with other atheists and therefore unwittingly is in a shared culture and community of the sort I describe above without necessarily realizing it or striving for it. It may not be so true for you, but I believe it is for many including myself, but I'm not sure which is why I asked the question.


Yes, what you say is consistent with other posts you have written in the past.  You seem to be more social than I am, and more inclined to feel a sense of community with others than I am.

I do not mean for that to seem like either a compliment or an insult.  Just a comment on how things seem to be, not a value judgement about them.

You are certainly correct that I do have some commonalties with other atheists, but that fact does not inspire the same feelings in me that it seems to inspire in you.
