It is cool that you want to study and learn more about atheistic thinking; however, I'm afraid the part in bold may come off to some as objectifying atheists rather than seeing them as people, which could impede your progress in establishing any kind of meaningful dialog with the atheist community here.
If I may, I have a question for you, sir. Have you come here with an open-mind, or are you here to confirm pre-existing stereotypes concerning atheism? IMO, if you engage AF with an open-mind, then you may find that there are plenty of people here who are kind, respectful, and intelligent. IMO, when interacting with people in certain contexts, their behavior, whether friendly or hostile, could be a direct result of how we handle the situation.
With that said, I wish you luck in your endeavors, sir. Thank you for your time and attention. Live long and prosper.
Oh man, I love this guy. Definitely getting my vote for best new member.
I COULD be this polite with people but then everyone would assume I was possessed and I don't want to have holy water thrown on me again!!
