The Atheist Movement.

[abaris]

As a born non-believer....I can't help but chalk some of that down to the residual effect of religious indocrination in the case of "atheist converts" or in the tone and narrative setting status of religious indocrination in the gp, globally, for these many thousands of years.

I rather view it as part of our tribal nature. We're still chimps at heart. All of us, and the best reminder for me are some not so fond memories from primary school. The last one in the food chain got beaten up by the alpha. Fat, strong, stocky boy everyone feared. We all joined in the beating and I'm as ashamed of it now as I was even back then.

That's deeply rooted in our nature. We always tend to look for leaders. It's only that I don't define myself over my absence of belief that makes me resent this near adoration of the so called prominent atheists.
