The Atheist Movement.

[chimp3]

Actually theism is a form of fascism.

That's the same broad brush applied to any given group. Theism can be a sort of fascism. Depends on how any given religious group defines itself - and by that I don't mean christian, muslim, jewish or the cult of Bugs Bunny, but fractions thereoff. Outside the internet, in real life, I mostly met nice and very helpful religious people. Maybe because I don't go out of my way to meet any kind of asshole, religious or non religious. But that's just my personal experience and opinion. Maybe also because I look at the person and not what the person actually believes.

Even here on this very board, the numbers of people I like or dislike are about equally divided between theist and atheist. Atheism doesn't define me. I simply don't believe but otherwise I have a very complex set of values which isn't based on atheism but on my view of the world and it's inhabitants. Also there's a very strong resentment against people resorting to tribal thinking and rallying under a flag. Individualism is my strongest desire for me and for everyone else.

It may be necessary to form temporary alliances to promote an issue or stand up against a threat, but that's about all. I'm not only talking about religion here but about politics and social issues as well. It's all about the worl I, personally, would like to live in. The absence of religion isn't high on my agenda. The absence of any kinds of radicals, religious or non religious is very high on my to wish for list. Taking people for individuals and not for the arbitrary group attached to them. Be it because of their religious believes, color of skin or any other attribute tagged onto what I call group think.

Suffice to say, I can't remember having any kind of religious discussion (outside of here, to be clear) in my whole life. The topic never came up, since, as I said above, nobody gave me reason to question them based on what they said about religion.

I don't mean theists are all fascists but their fascist god is a fascist
