Religion also has a social nature, whereas atheism is more of a personal belief. Seeing things like this makes me think that the nature of atheism changes from a personal way of thinking, to a collective way of thinking.
And that collectiveness seems to only be unfolding in the USA. Weird, I've never seen such a thing anywhere else on earth.
All humans have a social nature. Religion just uses it for its own means. All belief is somewhat personal. (unless they are really stupid) I'm not sure what you mean by the collectiveness. If your talking about the change to more active atheism they are standing up for their ideals which is entirely resonable.
What I'm talking about "collectiveness", I think that atheists in the US have been taking this shit more and more seriously, and banding together, doing "active atheism", whatever that means...
Like, how do you apply the unbelief into a supernatural power into your daily life?
There isn't much to stand up for, really. If you would stand up, say for communist revolution, I'd say, yes, this man is politically motivated.
If you'd stand up, say for Jesus, I'd say, this man is religiously motivated.
If you stand up for...atheism.What exactly do you stand up for? Or do you oppose that the other man stands up for Jesus?
