Atheists turning to cult behaviour?

[robvalue]

I'm glad you don't I am absurdly logical and the emotionless Internet can make expression hard.

Sure, I totally agree in theory with what you are saying. But we already have in place the things you speak of. I'm trying really hard to understand your point. Are you saying that religion has in place certain desirable things like reasons to not behave badly, and to handle specific scenarios, so atheists need something to fill the gap? Again, in theory I totally agree. But I would instead propose that such wisdom should be taught to everyone, in schools, as public information etc. The idea of taking all the atheists aside and telling them this is what I'm finding bizarre.

Also I find it a misguided point, because there's no evidence religious people behave any better than atheists. So the religious stuff is not "working" any better than general stuff. So teach everyone to be good.
