If an atheist sees a problem with atheism, that is the fault of the atheist, not atheism itself. Seeing how atheism is simply a lack of belief, it cannot provide emotional or spiritual support nor should we force it to. As stated before, atheism is only one tiny part of a person's beliefs, and trying to organize it as a cohesive community distorts its meaning. To me, organizing atheists is like organizing people with brown hair. One common little attribute is not worthy of an organization.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
