You picked one out of several examples. I didn't say opinion, you did. And BLM has been called a "cause" by many sources, google it. If you want to argue over definitions this will go no where.
Until people are willing to say I'm not going to tolerate (insert an issue here) it will never stop.
And you are selecting one race movement, BLM, to advertise that this forum supports. Racism and lack of justice in this country involves more than one race. I would like it all to end, and more. But I'll just do my thing IRL which is more about helping the additced and impoverished.
Tell me, what does "atheist" have universally in common with any issue other than religion?
I know the banner change is your (or partially your) idea and believe it is well intentioned. I don't agree with the change for reasons I've stated. I don't expect you to agree with me and don't want a debate.
Actually, I clarified that I didn't mean to point out black lives matter as an organization in terms of the banner in the other thread. I meant to call out the current incarnation of the civil rights movement. To me, black lives matter is more of a statement than a group, so I misspoke (typed).
