I must say, for the most part, I agree with Brian37 in his response to you.
You call them "sheep". An overgeneralization. While they may think similarly, that does not make them sheep as each may have different reasons for their positions. People think for themselves. Furthermore, labeling in this manner provides no argument whatsoever. If he called all Christians "sheep", would it prove anything? Clearly not as Christians think for themselves also.
You call them a "gang". I seriously do not think they are contacting each other behind the scenes and coordinating how to respond to me. I do think they are more biased to criticize a Christian than an atheist as I pointed out in my last post, but I would not characterize them as a gang. I am a Christian on an Atheist's forum. I kind of expect this sort of thing.
You say they are a political party and say they are probably mostly liberal democrat. Where does that come from? And...who cares (unless we are discussing political issues...which we are not)? There are plenty of liberal democrat Christians, too, you know. I'm not, but I know there are plenty. So making such a broad sweeping statement that is totally irrelevant to the issues being discussed seems silly to me.

It does not have to be scientifically.Answer the questions regarding right and wrong and the basis for them (see my previous post above that was mostly directed to Thumpalumpacus) and let's go from there. Depending on your answers, maybe I can show you the necessity.
"Atheist" is not a worldview, please stop trying to peddle that lie.
Dawkins being right about evolution, does not mean I like or agree with everything he says or does. I have actually met him in person, and no, he is not someone I would want to have a beer with, in reality, he came across to me as a bit of a stuffed shirt. Harris is a great critic of most religions but has a Buddhism fetish I don't agree with. Hitchens also was a great critic of religion, but also was a bit of a warhawk, so even with him, NO, I don't agree with everything an atheist may claim.
Even GOP theist voters don't challenge or deny gravity, they accept gravity as a fact, but that doesn't mean I agree with their religious views or economic views. I hate to burst your bubble, but atheists don't, and should not give each other a pass either.
Now again, you are relatively new here. I really would suggest you read a wider sample rate of threads, if you did that you would know we don't always agree on everything all the time.
"atheist" means "off" on claims of god/s. That is it, outside that we DO NOT agree on all things all the time.
