You are proposing that atheists be enforced to also behave well? I think you're entirely missing the point again.
There is no atheist school, no book, no one teaching you how to behave. An atheist is just a person who happens to be non delusional. Everyone should be encouraged to be a good person, atheists included. But changing the definition of atheism to include something else, so you can highlight people not conforming to that is a bizarre solution.
Again, I'm not trying to be confrontational, my tone is meant to be matter of fact. I'm smiling and enjoying the discussion
I think your heart is totally in the right place, but your analysis and method are skewed by the desire to make atheism into more than it is.
