Black atheists don't shove it down your throat as much and don't act like faux victims because of their atheism as far as I observed. Maybe that's because they get less loons patting them on the back for being an atheist.
If what you mean is that black atheists pretend to be Christians more often. I will say I have had the same experience. The ones I know person all say it's because it's the only connection they have to their community. My friend Samara even told me it's because without Christianity her skin color would be the only thing that makes her black. I guess I kinda sorta get that. Though, I mean, to me her skin color is the only thing that makes her black with or without religion, but hey I don't know.
Who are these white atheists that shove it down people's throats? I have a very short list of people who know me outside of the forums that know I'm atheist. In that list, there is not a single person I have discussed my atheism at length with. They simply know I don't believe and we never talk about it.
Do you mind me asking where you are from?
Why do you have such a negative view of atheists?
