Perhaps because atheism isn't a belief in itself, rather a disbelief. But people do have ideals, some more rational than others, but at least, we don't believe big fairies in the sky. And try to justify our actions in the name of said fairy.
Quote:You are not free to define your movement any way that you want. Atheism is a historical movement and it is entirely reasonable to make historical observations of the ways in which atheism has been promulgated.
The definition is clear, it is on the dictionary, you have google, look it up. Have you heard the phrase: "Its easier to herd cats than atheists" ?.
Quote:People are free to simply mock and use non-rational persuasion techniques to deal with this observations, but I won't respect you for it. I will just sigh and think to myself "atheists are far more psuedo-intellectual than even the most die hard fundamentalists".
Think whatever you want, its almost a given what theists think of us. You have nothing to me instead of supposedly polite insults, you might look what a "tu quoque" is. Either way your god remains... unexistant
