None as yet but I've come across one or two atheists in the past who seemed to regard atheism as some kind of ideology. They wanted to impose rules and regulations about what atheists should and should not do, Richard Dawkins wasn't atheistic enough for them because he only rated himself 6.9 on the scale of theistic probability and they regarded Sam Harris as a heretic because he's interested in meditation and altered states of consciousness. (I was a heretic too because my brain produces odd, subjective experiences and I use Jungian psychology.) They also regarded stamping out religion as every atheist's evolutionary imposed duty.
Maybe we're just lucky that some atheist nutcase hasn't killed anyone in the name of atheism the ideology but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.
Where are the snake and mushroom smilies?
