Atheists turning to cult behaviour?

[robvalue]

Sure. I have no problem admitting there is an atheist movement. But that is not what was being put forward here.

I will wash my hands of any accusations levelled just at "atheists" because it's retarded. And if I'm not part of a particular atheist movement, then again it's nothing to do with me. I don't have a responsibility to police other atheists any more than I police the General public.

I would consider myself a small part of the atheist movement, but not in any official sense. I try to help. But I am not advocating nor facilitating any kind of negative action. I am simply voicing my opinion.

You can think of me as a troll if you like. I made no attempt to shut down discussions, as you can see I nurtured the discussion along several pages. I was addressing what was said, which I think is perfectly reasonable. I can't put words in other peoples mouths. I tried very hard to understand his point of view.

I could have been a bit more polite, sure. My tone wasn't great. But I stated facts, refutations and asked for evidence. And I was open to continued discussion, so I don't know what the objection is.

What the general public perceive as "atheism" isn't my fault either. I do my best to correct misconceptions and to explain that there is no atheist leaders or dogma. I can't guess what people mean if they don't explain it.

So... Does someone want to discuss the atheist movement? I don't think it's actually clear that anyone requested that. We can if you want.
