Quote:... I find that irrelevant to atheism. Whether or not you are an atheist would be determined by your actual position on the proposition itself. Judging by your statements, it would seem than you are an atheist and I believe most of the other atheists here would agree.
This is an important clarification, thanks: Individually I can say "I do not believe in God" - which makes me an atheist. The community overtone (my read in the last year) is that to participate a cognitive approach is implicitly required. "We should examine these dis-proofs of God and challenge with them; this will produce people more compatible with our way of thinking". The 'vibe in the community' as I have been experiencing it. Not just a focus on 'atheist evangelism' or communication, but specifically cognitive atheism. Or - in short - I can be an atheist alone all I like, but the community may not be appropriate for me.
Where is (how to find) a non-cog community which will be better suited?
