They think they're better than normal atheists because they're part of Atheism +? Fuck 'em, they're just playing up to our crappy stereotype. Since when do we need more bad press associated with us?
We have bad press?
I was under the assumption we had no press.
Fox news? They try and make atheists out as evil and un-american (which is a ridiculous quality to accuse people of, for who can truly claim that they know what it is to be american? So many diverse cultures, all under the same banner). Atheism isn't given a good press in the USA, especially when slightly controversial stuff like that billboard gets blown out of all sensible proportions.
