Each to their own, I say. Atheists, like theists, come in all shapes and sizes. I hope some of you, perhaps most of you, understand where I'm coming from.
The act of criticizing one's beliefs should have no bearing upon reason or righteousness, but alas, we live in a world of people with many prides and egos, but you seem to be missing a fundamental point of being an atheists, infact the only point: An atheist is someone that rejects the claim that god or gods exist, nothing else may be inferred or deducted from that. Sure, you may take the position of 'being nice' to religionists, mabe you just want to keep out of things. I find important to keep religionists in check with their beliefs, so that they don't try to infect reality with unreal beliefs. That said, people do take offense in my words when it comes to rebuke their religion, no matter how kind I am. And I do CARE if what I know its true.
People say you are a theist in disguize, but I'm holding judgement, for now O'm thinking you are a wrater inexperienced atheist to not suffer the frustration from appaling, ridiculous, cruel and inumane religious claims. I shall give you the benefit of doubt, for now.
