RE: Stop calling atheists 'fundamentalists'

So, here's the idea: When someone calls us fundamentalists, point out the definition of fundamentalism. I already looked it up on the online dictionary and here's what I got:

(source: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionar...amentalist)

Well, we obviously members of a 20th century protestant movement, are we? So that would mean we belong to the second definition of fundamentalism, right? Ask them what "set of basic principles" atheists "stressing strict and literal adherence to." It sure would be interesting to hear a response.

I live on facebook. Come see me there. http://www.facebook.com/tara.rizzatto
