Atheists turning to cult behaviour?

[robvalue]

We're getting together for support as a persecuted minority, and to try and release the privileged and harmful hold religion has on society. They are the positive reasons for specifically atheists to get together. Some atheists may get together for negative reasons too, such as to go kill christians or something.

Anything else is just people getting together.

Again, I'm all for it. If all atheists were humanist as well, that would be great. But how can you possibly go about achieving that specifically? If you replace the word atheist with sane or non-delusional then hopefully you'll see my point.

Can we make being sane also about being humanist? See what I mean? To me, the words are interchangeable in practical terms. Even "adult" fits well, since religious people are essentially still children when it comes to viewing reality.

Imagine a headline on the news: "Sane person kills 3 people."

It doesn't make sense or add anything. You can't point to it being something that is in itself nothing more than default.

What you could point to, is stuff like atheism+. But that is by definition, not atheism. I'm not saying I am pointing at them, I know very little about it. I just mean it would be a meaningful claim.
