Atheist vs. Christian Personalities

[BlackMason]

I doubt that life long atheists fit these adjectives. I'd love to see formal stats comparing life long atheists to deconverts. I think that's where you'll find your trend.

My impression is that atheists seem to converge on a form of secular humanism which is a positive philosophy.

I think you're likely right that the angry young man stage is just a phase, but I wonder what the ratio is, specifically dealing with vocal atheists, as there doesn't seem to be a way to get at what non-vocal atheists believe. Which raises another question, how much of this stereotype might be dependent on the possibility that the angry young deconverts are the most vocal group?

Perfect! Nothing more to add.
