Atheist fundamentalism?
#2
RE: Atheist fundamentalism?
Atheists don't believe in God. That's what it means - that's atheism.

So I guess all atheists are fundementalist only in the sense that they fundementally share one thing in common - not believing in Gods! Lol.

If an atheist is fundamental in the sense of fanatical then it's got nothing to do with their atheism. Not believing in God doesn't make you a fanatic.

All atheists share in common is non-belief in Gods - anything fanatical is about the particular indiviudal not the atheism.

You can get fanatical people of all types. So you can get fanatical atheists as in people who are fanatical who HAPPEN to be atheists - but you can't get fanatical atheists as in atheists who are fanatical BECAUSE they are atheists. Or are fundamentalist because of theri 'atheism'.

I can't imagine extreme behavior like going to war over a non-belief can you?

Atheism doesn't justify anything - it doesn't have a creed or doctrine - it's just non-belief.

Atheism doesn't tell you anything - not so with thesim. Different religions have different rules - atheism just=ANYONE who doesn't believe in God(s)! That's it! There be nothing fanatical ro fundementalist BECAUSE of that. Anything fanatical or fundemantist would have to be seperate to that and about the individual. Atheism just=non-belief in God - nothing more, nothing less - by definition.
