Religion is like a penis. You can have it, you can enjoy it, you can be proud of it, think it's the best one out there, that's all fine by me. But the minute you try to force it on me, I'm going to do what I can to get rid of it.
If you want to bitch about Atheism+, we have a whole thread dedicated to them. Me, I'm a skeptic so while I question the validity of religious belief systems, I also question their social justice beliefs. The problem is, they react so much like a religion when anyone questions them. Personally, I don't want to say they aren't atheists because I want a broad, united movement that will stand up to the religious fundamentalism that's taking hold in our country, but they seem to be the ones who say they don't want to associate with anyone else. Circle jerk activism at its worst.
