We are vastly outnumbered, and whenever I bring up the logical arguments for the non aggression principle, I just get attacked, insulted, and ostracised for questioning the ethics of a centrally coercive entity. So I don't think many people on this forum care about the principle of atheism, which is rationality, if they can't apply that rationality to other areas. It shows they don't get something fundamental, and/or don't want to.
Statetheists is a better word.
The reason you get "attacked, insulted and ostracized" is because your arguments are not logical or rational. The flaws of your argument and their utter ridiculousness has been pointed out over and over again. The false premises (e.g. government initiates force), flawed reasoning and abysmally poor understanding of the concepts involved have been shown repeatedly - but instead of trying to correct them, you dogmatically stick to your byline and keep on repeating the same crap over and over and over again. You are the one who has traded in logic and reasoning for nonsensical anarchist dogma and your failure to understand this fundamental fact about yourself has made you the laughing stock of the forum.
