Are there different sects within atheism and do some people believe their version of atheism to be "true" while another version of atheism is "false"? Is there an attitude or principle that would help avoid the formation of sectarianism?
NO. The entire notion is ludicrous. "sects in atheism" give me a break. That whole bucket of nonsense arises because the religious project their own crazy on everyone else.
Atheism is a single position on a single question and that is all. Otherwise one might as well attempt to herd cats.
Atheism simply states:
I do not believe in any of the thousands of claimed god/gods.
Any evidence for that? Sure. I do not believe in any of the thousands of claimed god/gods.
Anything else is just optional extras.
