"We're all atheists here. We're convinced, and rightfully so, that there is no god. Religion is a joke, and the concept of heaven and hell is a tool used to control the masses"
They are honest enough to affirm their belief, at-least in their literature meant to be consumed by other atheists.
Or my favorite, "we're all atheists, yourself included. I just discount the existence of one more god than you do".
Oh, and it will be a cold day in hell when atheists allow theists to define us. Just as Christians require like a thousand denominations to define what it is they believe, we too disagree among ourselves. Did you really think you could provoke those of us who don't give a rat's ass whether gods exist or not to make a positive declaration based only on your definition of atheism? Good luck with that.
Words define you, not theists. Atheists don't get to choose their definition any more than a bank robber gets to choose the definition or robbery. Christians all abide the same definition : followers of Christ. Denominations merely have a different interpretation of what it means to follow Christ. If you don't give a rats ass whether God exists, why call yourself an atheist, what are you doing here?
