As though we have to find some sort of middle ground between us and them. The phrase New Atheists also drives me crazy. The only thing new about them is that they actually publicly speak about what they believe. OMG how outrageous! Atheists shouldn't be afforded the same opportunity as say, everyone else.
We're not supposed to believe anything as we're not meant to be following a religion or a dogma. We're just not accepting what all these different religions are trying to sell to us. It's a neutral position and we aren't trying to offer something to anyone. If you do anything else or try to proselytize atheism it may as well be a religion at that point.
