Atheism and suicide

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I made a point about the futility of collectivization through atheism, but you've seemingly equated that to all philosophical and political viewpoints. Again, utter nonsense.

1. All atheists are human.

Thanks for that insight.

2. All humans have desires/preferences/ethics/philosophies/politics.

Ok.

3. Therefore all atheists have desires/.../politics.

Yes but that does not thus mean that atheism = equitable to desires et al. Atheism simply means a lack of belief in a god or gods.

Does the word 'atheism' involve desires/.../politics, or should that word be restricted to merely talk about lack-of-belief in gods?

Yes.

As I attempted to elucidate to you, one can be an atheist and all manner of things that are mutually exclusive to atheism. I am disestablishmentarian because I despise the idea of a monarchistic dynasty dictating powers to a democratic government (even if they are small and often merely traditional), not because I'm an atheist.

I am secularist because I espouse the ideas of the treaty of Westphalia and wish for freedom of and for religion in the state that has legitimacy bestowed open it by the people and not because of the religion demanding rights, not because I'm an atheist.

Answer: who gives us shit? For all practical purposes atheism involves politics. And I haven't tried to group all atheists into the same politics. Next time, throw your pedantic dictionary and fear of atheist collectives out with your teddy bear.

Where is written that atheism 'involves politics'? You're conflating two vastly different things. Atheists might be political (I am an egalitarian and a fiscal conservative), but atheism = involving politics?

You call it a pedantic dictionary, I call it calling you on the BS you really have no clue or idea about using reality, cupcake.

Uh, guys? Why are we even giving this study the time of day? Are any of you seriously reading the language even in the extract the OP gave ("Came from pond scum"?) and not seeing an emotive, religiously motivated bias? Really?

Oh don't worry, I don't think any of us are taking that 'study' seriously.
