Atheists turning to cult behaviour?

[Mister Agenda]

Ok. I change that to most atheists I've met.

Most atheists you've met and were aware that they were atheists.

There is enough evidence for their misogyny online. I just didn't want to quote other bloggers who you might already have read.

Many people behave badly on the internet. You haven't established that this bad behavior is more prevalent among atheists than theists. If it isn't, you're talking about the demographic of humans who are misoginists, not the demograhpic of atheists.

Kinda of what I'm trying to get at. Should pure atheism be necessarily followed up by a few humanistic principles?

That would require for atheism to be organized wouldn't it, and atheism is one opinion on one topic. It doesn't sound like something to base an organization on to me. I say this as the founder of a successful freethought organization in Columbia, SC.

Pure atheism itself doesn't actually ensure any less madness.

That's true. It's just one specific opinion, not a worldview or philosophy in itself.

Firstly, I'm not saying non belief in itself needs a structure. But non belief is not sufficient.

Does anyone say it is? Personally I think atheism will virtually disappear as a topic when enough people are educated about it that they don't assume they don't need to know anything else about you if all they know is that you're an atheist. Being a visible atheist is an important way to help people realize atheists are diverse.
