I did not mean to say that there are no atheists who are not decent people, only to pose a question to the atheist community. There are many atheists whom I admire.

Why make blasphemy the gold standard for acceptance of true atheism?

I for one, think it is a mark of lack of decency to comport oneselve in such a ways as to become admired by some Christians.

I would like to be admired by atheists. I don't think our value systems are very apart, in some ways.

Having a collective sense of respect and appreciation for what a decent, honest person is is essential in democratic, multicultural societies.

Depends on the atheist. Some people here are genuine and respectful and it's a shame they'll go to Hell. As for the rest, our values could not be further apart.

Go fuck yourself.

That is true, some seem like they are very willing to learn from those different from them and others seem like their atheism is solely based on a desire to avoid sanctification and the pain associated it.
