Atheist fundamentalism?

[Kyuuketsuki]

Atheism defies definition past it's meaning, like EvF says. Atheists as a group, to include activists of any sort, do tend to follow patterns generally and I find it interesting the many parallels between this group and religious groups.

No they don't ... as Jason Jarred pointed out some time ago and many have pointed out to you since the one and only thing atheists share is a rejection of claims to deity, we don't share the same politics, we don't share the same taste in movies, in art, in music, in books, we are of different ages, sex, colour, sexuality, we have different family situations, different nationalities, different temperaments, different aims, different ambitions, jobs, clothing, culture etc. etc. ... basically different everything and you're talking rubbish yet again.

There are charismatic leaders who's words are widely read; shared ideals, a perfect truth as in the atheist statement: "atheism is the philosophical position that deities don't exist"; Atheists/ non/ anti religious activists feel the need to congregate in groups such as this; need to spread the message to the world so everyone can think the same as they do, to convery the religious to their way of thinking.

Atheist have no charismatic leaders, simply a bunch of authors, speakers they admire and atheism carries no philosophical value whatsoever ... all you are doing, having failed to raise your theistic position above atheism is trying to lower atheism to the level of your theism ... standard theist tactic, disingenuous to the last.

Fundamentalist would be the no holds barred brick wall individuals who, like their religious counterparts, defy all logic and refuse on principle to consider and opposition, having already made up their mind, or have had their minds made up for them, have been brainwashed.

Yes and we all know you think some of us (myself included) exist in that camp but the fact that you equate that position with others who doggedly pursue your argument refusing to accept crap for answers is your fucking problem not ours.
