I am annoyed when people talk of atheism as an "movement"
What movement? How is that movement structured? Who leads it? Do I have a say in it?
I am an individual who came to be an atheist out of personal expiriences and not because I wanted to join some group.
And everyone who claims to be a "leader" of this non existant "movement" can suck my dick.
For some reason more and more people are thinking it's a "movement" with an agenda. I have friends who don't believe in god but would say they don't think they're atheists because they don't identify with atheists. But by definition, they are atheists. And when I say I'm an atheist, people think I mean more than I do.
