Atheists come together to learn the tired rhetoric doing the rounds and quote it blindly in the face of logic.

They have also all (whether online or in person) discussed things that are neither rhetoric or uninteresting... both intriguing conversations and humorous, as all. Obviously Fundamentalists of any idea are easy targets, especially religious Fundamentalists, because those who see through logic and reason see their ideals as both idiotic and sometimes borderline criminal.
...dunno where you come from, but I have yet to meet an uninformed atheist and many close-minded, dopey Christians.
