A few from your personal life is not "most atheists".
Ok. I change that to most atheists I've met. There is enough evidence for their misogyny online. I just didn't want to quote other bloggers who you might already have read.
Yes, some people are dicks. And they may presume to speak for atheism. They should be dealt with on an individual level. It has nothing to do with being an atheist.
Kinda of what I'm trying to get at. Should pure atheism be necessarily followed up by a few humanistic principles? Pure atheism itself doesn't actually ensure any less madness.
The only way you could address what you're saying is to actually create a structure to atheism. Which would then make it just like religion, defeating the object.
Firstly, I'm not saying non belief in itself needs a structure. But non belief is not sufficient. Secondly, you seem to argue its more important to make sure Atheism is not defined as a religion, than making sure that Atheists dont behave exactly the way religious people do.
