RE: you ever been harassed for being an atheist?
Well, for one, I would not continue arguing with someone due to their opinions of you. Who are they to you? Probably no one in particular.

I don't really get harassed for my atheism, ever. I deal with the occasional "omg you don't believe in jesus? youre going to hell" krap but it's nothing new. lol

Does the bible say anything about vengeance or death is OK as long as it's justified?
Boy, he sounds straight out of the middle ages!

And we're the bad guys!
Where's his understanding and compassion?
He's definitely been hurt by someone/something to be so negative.
I will hazard a guess and say that he cannot escape whatever is tormenting him so all he can do is be rude anonymously while being constantly pulled into line by his peers.

Something I find annoying are those Christians that label anyone who was baptized as catholic, so if you are an atheist you're a bad catholic/christian, and you can't be anything else

I see the same from atheists who want to label historic atheists as Christians simply because A. they were raised Christian and B. want to pin their actions on religion.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Um what? Please provide examples.

It's hard to talk atheism in the past since most atheists from history had to pretend to be religious. So much so that's it's almost impossible to label atheists of the past.

I love it when people make up swear word combos.

My favourite I heard recently was 'bucket of ball batter' (as in, 'you are a...').

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

My guess is he lost an Internet argument some time ago in the past, and he's been lashing out ever since.

Which historic atheists have you seen labeled as Christian?

I think the way any minority WORLDWIDE is treated depends upon location and how open that person is and what the social norms of that location may be.

You atheists while better treated in the west still have stigmas attached to them. And we know areas of the world where apostasy and blasphemy are crimes.
