Atheists turning to cult behaviour?

[robvalue]

What do you mean atheists don't want to do anything about it? What exactly can we do?

I speak out whenever I can against any such terrible behavior. But I have no inherent power as an atheist to influence other atheists. Atheists are governed only by society and the law, just as people are. Religion just muddies the water by imposing other arbitrary rules of no value which support bigotry and other stupid things.

If I could do something to stop the behavior, I would. But the link to atheism... I still don't understand. We can't call an atheist meeting and discuss it.

You seem to be making the analogy to religion, where the moderates stand by while the radicals do things that are featured in the same book. It's not like that at all. I have literally nothing to do with other atheists in the world, I'm not bound to them, nor them to me.

I'm not responsible for what other atheists do, but I will try my best wherever possible to speak against it and stop it. Do you propose more than this? I am trying really hard here

I can accuse them of not being true atheists, or sullying the good name of atheism, but that doesn't make sense.

What do you mean by "attack" christianity and islam? If you mean speak out against it, then yes, a lot of people do that and I'm all for it. I speak out against all wrong in the world. That's quite different to bullying individual people, or performing acts of violence.

This is the liveliest debate I think I've had, and the longest one that hasn't turned into the other person just insulting me or resorting to dishonest tactics. Great That is generally because I am debating theists of course who rarely ever back up a point even when proved utterly wrong.
