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.
No they don't what? I was supporting your statement.

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.
Call them what you like. I'm simply making an observation. Of course in your militant underpants thinking is a threat.

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.
I would be more generous to you my dear friend. I think I'd place you more al-qa'ida militant Wink
