I think I love you.
These types of people also expect all atheists to ascribe to certain ethics and political opinions, because they need company for their circle jerking.
Hipsters have ruined metal music, too. They ruin everything they touch, because they are essentially looking for affirmation and attention over contribution.
Again who are these "hipsters" you speak of. That is a bullshit blanket swath statement. And again, if fomeone goes arround repeating that the moon is not made of cheese, please explain to me why that would be wrong?
So you want to live in a dumbed down society that believes in magic babies? Why stop there? Why not yourself since "anything goes just because it feels good" why don't you stop being an atheist and start believing the pop culture gods of antiquaity like Osirus and Ra because that felt real to them too.
I am so damned glad Susan B Anthony didnt make voting for women "hip". because we know what a stupid woman she was. I guess she was just being "trendy".
Please stop you are embarrasing yourself. If you want to say I am not comfortable communicating like others do, that would be fine and honest. But trying to use a buzz word like "hypster" seems pretty "trendy" to use as a slur to get others to conform to your ideas.
SO either we are all individuals or we are not but you are NOT going to have it both ways and say we are only individuals when we do it your way and only your way.
Dont tell me how to be an atheist and I wont tell you how to be an atheist. There is no litumus test to that label like there is with theism.
