The word "atheist" is a position, the "off" position on god claims. It is not a moral code. It is not a religion. It is not a political party. It is not a loyalty oath.

Our species ability to be cruel or compassionate is in our evolution, not the labels we assign ourselves or each other.

It sucks that another person holding the "atheist" label did what they did. But that does not make any individual automatically good or bad, only our actions do that.

I'm glad that you made that point clear.
