Make Atheism Great Again

[MJ the Skeptical]

Mocking religion has gotten old for most, IMO.


I really hate it when people capitalize the word "atheism" when it's not part of a title or at the beginning of a sentence. It is not a proper noun.

On top of that, atheism, in and of itself, has no right to a movement. It's a null position, and it's certainly not a "SWJ movement", whatever that is. There are a lot of atheists who are concerned with social issues. That probably isn't going to change.

Atheism is a lack of belief in god(s). That's it. We'd all be pretty boring if we didn't have other things we were interested in and passionate about.


They don't. A lot of atheists are concerned with those things.


Who have? Atheists?


I'm an atheist and I resent the implication that I'm part of a "movement" by default.


Barf.


Exactly.


Have you heard the "herding cats" analogy? People got bored with the obvious and stopped being interested. I myself can only read or hear the same shit so many times before I'm completely bored. The only thing to say about atheism, in and of itself, is that it's a lack of belief in deities. That's it.

My sentiments exactly.  No movement necessary.  Just look out for intrusions of religion into secular life as the need arises, no rallies needed.  I'm not on board for snuffing out religion because I really don't care what people do behind closed doors.

Uh, no, there is a reason why the Reason Rally is now the laughing stock of the atheist world and could barely get a few thousand people this year. Because it HAS been hijacked by SJW's and feminazis taking over. For fuck sakes they have a problem with all 4 of the original horseman of atheism, maybe aside from Daniel Dennett who's basically retired. You can heard a bunch of cats if you have a good message, which is why 20,000 people showed up in 2012, before the regressive left movement got hold.
