I agree. I think the being an outspoken Atheist and wearing the atheist label is the best way to go. We're not so weak as to have to change our labels or drop them altogether I think. It is more honest and outspoken to not shy away I think. I agree with you at LEAST thus far. Seems much better to just say we are atheists when we are atheists. And to be outspoken about it.
Why shouldn't atheists get together anyhow? And also, why change the label? We've already got one and I think we should be outspoken about it.
If it misleads people - all the more reason to be outspoken about it! I think we'll just be going around in circles if we change the label or drop it altogether. We won't be getting anywhere. In fact we might go backwards because its less outspoken and immediate. Why have to go around all that? As I hope I have had some success at explaining here in this post and the previous few.
I think that we should be outspoken as our label - As I'm sure you can tell with my avatar - Definitely!
At least for now.
