Imagine a group of atheists who behave in much the same way as, say, christianforums.com where everything that's not on their list of approved subjects gets removed and the members who post them banned.
They're a group of people who are consumed by their need to create a clique of like-minded individuals at the expense of anyone who shows dissent.
Ah. I can see why that's annoying as hell. I did a quick read up on their site, and it seems they have a series of political positions and definitions as well, and anyone that wants to join has to conform to them? Why call themselves "Atheism +" and not some new word that encompasses their political views and doesn't appropriate an already existing label?
