I agree its silly to just throw that accusation around.
There are Trump voting Atheists and Obama voting atheists, so yea, I don't go around accusing other atheists of not being a "true atheist" merely because I don't agree with everything another atheist might claim. The only core position we have is "off" on god claims.
Now, if you can accept that from me regarding other atheists, then try to understand why your holy book does not point to a perfect being and perfect manual. Both you and Drich have the same core position that the god of the bible is real.
See the problem? Same problem Sunnis and Shiites have with the Koran. Same reason you cant get a Tibet Buddhist to agree with a Chinese Buddhist who wont agree with a Japanese Shinto Buddhist.
Again, our species morality isn't coming from our labels or mythology. Not even the world "atheist" should be viewed as a moral code. Our species behaviors both good and bad, are in our evolution. There is not one nation, friend or foe alike, that does not have hospitals or prisons.
