RE: Being an atheist is not passive, it requires an active stance

My atheism is personal, and I feel no requirement to speak out to believers because someone wishes to define atheism in a different way.

Me, I live by what I ask for: I don't want some asshole getting in my face with his religion, so I'm not going to shop my absence of religion onto people I don't know.
