My Thoughts On Militant Atheism

[ShaMan]

I am an atheist, terribly ashamed to be labeled with other atheists who insult others just for their beliefs.

Then set yourself apart and let your own voice and actions represent you. Stop blaming others for the the evils of a few. I'm a man. Some men are abusive and violent - I am not. Must I, like you be ashamed that I share something in common with a few in my set, or would it be better for me to be the change I'd like to see in the world, rather than complain about it on the internet?
