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

RE: Being an atheist is not passive, it requires an active stance
No I think atheism by itself is just a neutral stance. Just like you don't need to be aggressive in defending your disbelief in the reality of starwars unless you are at a fan convention, you don't need to be aggressive about your stance on religion unless the particular situation calls for it.

Most people are quite capable of coexisting with the religious "kind", minding their own business, and if they do come begging for it, simply shutting the door in their face works in most cases. Personally I think being aggressive towards the religious stupidity is simply not worth it.
