Quote:Where is the need to point out that one is an atheist or to even call it atheist activism
Why does there need to be a point?
Quote:when there are plenty of other people who share the same perspective that are not atheist?
Well , (a) No,there aren't actually;there is no such thing as an atheist perspective on any subject other than a disbelief in gods.(b) So what if you were right? Your question contains a logical fallacy; argumentum ad populum or argument by consensus. That any number of people hold an opinion means only that. It neither implies (suggests) no allows an inference (conclusion) of truth or that there are no no other choices.
Quote:Why must they bother to even point out that they are atheist?
Why should they not?. Because it irritates you? Get over yourself.
Quote:Couldn't they just be watchdogs for humanity without a label?
They are no such thing,as atheists. Again if you were right,why should they be either?
