Oh, man, I know better than to get into that.
This site is Lackist Fundamentalism.
If you don't believe in gods it is honest to say you are an atheist. But you said way more than that, a couple of posts ago.
Yeah, okay. So what does that mean? Do you think a lack of belief in God has no benefits?
I personally think avoiding making anything into an idol, like a god, is a benefit of atheism. To me that's just an extrapolation.
But perhaps you are right that not everyone interprets it that way. I know religious people don't.
