If you are insinuating that atheists are only atheists because we think it's 'cool,' you are dead wrong. Christians have an extremely flawed view of what makes an atheist reject their religion, but this has to be the silliest misconception they hold onto. It does your position no favors when you make ignorant statements like this.
I have learned, however, that you guys will convince yourself of whatever it takes to deny the fact that your religion can be rejected on its own merits. Just know this, we don't give a damn if we're perceived as 'cool' or not. We're atheists because we think your religion is bogus.
