Question for Atheists

[Mister Agenda]

It's annoying, because it makes the assumption that atheists and atheism is an institution, when in fact it's the very opposite. And if you don't like being criticised in any way over your research, you can piss off. And take your arrogant condescension with you.

I'm being condescending? You're talking down to me because I capitalized Atheist. Atheist is a group. You may only share on characteristic that you all agree that God doesn't exist, and that maybe all that you share, but in that belief you are a group. The name of that group is Atheist. Which is a noun. Nouns are capitalized.

Not ALL nouns. Atheist and theist are nouns that are only capitalized at the beginning of a sentence or when they are part of the name of an organization, like Atheist Forums. Your Sentences would look pretty odd if you capitalized every Noun. It's proper nouns that are capitalized.

You came in here with nothing to offer except nit picks at how I capitalized the word. I didn't come here to argue over the merits of Atheists or Atheism, I came here to ask a simple question. If you don't want to contribute to that, why are you saying anything?

If you were a keen observer of humans, which is a valuable trait for a writer, you might have observed a tendency among the atheists here to care about capitalization and spelling.
