Atheists turning to cult behaviour?

[SoFarEast]

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, 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.

Religion is a mess. I don't support it. I can see why my use of the word 'religion' is causing confusion. I'll try to avoid it.

My point is most atheists when asked would say, atheism is pure disbelief, absolutely nothing else. Agreed. But then this lack of absolutely anything else gives space to some subcultures. Misogyny, gay bashing. To clarify, I don't think all atheists are misogynists. But no one wants to do anything about it, everyone just says "I don't need to do anything. I'm just a non - believer". Yet, thy would readily take it onto themselves to attack other cultures like Islam and Christianity in the name of reason.
