I said insult atheism, not insult atheists.
This entire thread is poisoning the well by trying to equate atheism and naturalism, a difference you admitted to at one point and then went back to ignoring.
The title of this thread is nonsensical, as has been pointed out endlessly. Atheism is not, by default, a belief. You just keep redefining it so that it is a belief, and then claim that this also applies to the definition we atheists actually use. This is called an equivocation fallacy. You don't get to transfer meaning between different definitions and contexts of the same word.
If you want to argue that "naturalism is an unscientific belief", that would at least make sense as a topic. I'd be very impressed if you admitted that this is what the title of the thread should be. Will you go that far?
You keep telling me my beliefs are wrong, but you never take the time to ask what my beliefs are. You're too busy telling me what they are.
