They seem to think if you aint been to university or can't talk in some kind of clever speak then you got no right to be an atheist - but still not allowed to be religious of course.
You seem like you have a rather large chip on your shoulder (or perhaps a whole bag of McCains). There are some very intelligent people on this forum and I won't pretend to be one of them but I really do think the idea that you are being looked down on because of a lack of vocabulary or similar reasons is a construct of your own imagination.
I think the problem is more that with the questions you ask, you don't like the answers you receive so you dismiss them offhand.
It also doesn't help to tar everyone on the forum with the same brush and you really need to either explain what this 'atheist dogma' is supposed to be or drop it as it seems to just be something you use to make snide comments.
