Do you actually think we're all the same? Do you think we go to Atheist club and debate what opinion we're all going to have on any given subject?
Fucking retard.
Sorry sofa I didn't recognize you as the unique little snowflake that you are.

Perhaps I should refer to quip as "the atheist" now.
Call me what you like. Other's have!
They're just labels.

If there's one thing I would like people to come away with from this forum, it's that atheists are just individuals who happen to all not believe in deities. This gives them no more affinity than people who don't believe in Santa. Would you talk about everyone who doesn't believe in Santa as if they're all the same, and have the same opinions and thought processes?
And atheists can believe in whatever other shit they want. You don't get to tell them what else they believe. They can believe in ghosts, magic crystals, afterlives and all kinds of other woo. I'm not saying it's a good idea to believe in these things, but it doesn't stop someone being an atheist when they do believe in them.
Some people continually conflate atheism with scepticism/naturalism. This can be forgiven the first time someone does it. After the second or third time this distinction has been pointed out, you're dealing with an intellectually dishonest person who has to strawman their targeted audience with their projected ideas because the truth doesn't line up with their preconceptions.

I agree...while I also qualify.
Now, I can't read minds but I sure can read defensive and hostile responses from many of the "atheists" here. So, please excuse my generalized responses to an anonymous mob of atheists posting indiscriminately upon a generic atheist forum. I suggest expressing yourself in the manner above if you so desire to be understood as such. Otherwise, one man's strawman is another man's misrepresentation.
