Subcultures exist, it as nothing to do with atheism.
Quote: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.
As historically atheists have been mercilessly attacked by Christians and are currently mercilessly persecuted in Islamic countries this smacks of sour grapes.
Why can't we point out the problems with religions? It's not like we are stoning Christians or throwing Muslims from tall buildings.
Sometimes we are just saying that maybe a faith that leads to the massacre of 132 school children may not be nice.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
