I'm not sure that's exactly my point, it's more that atheists throwing their weight about (being brutish with their judgements) leads to a depression laden society, or somesuch. In any case what I really wanted to get across is that atheism in its most often expressed form (I called it 'so what' atheism) is a socially meaningful ethos that isn't as helpful as it should be. Or even harmful.
no... atheism is only harmful because there are many theists who will persecute and harm atheists...
Atheists simply point out that, lacking belief, god is just a concept.
This is not meant to be helpful to anyone... unless you're about to blow yourself for some belief.... or you want to keep knowledge or research away from the people by imposing some policies.... or something stupid like that...
