What do you mean "You People"?
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

To the OP: Are we not dressing to the standard? Deficient grooming perhaps. Maybe we just need the help of a better public relations firm.

We refuse to acknowledge them because they aren't relevant. Atheism has nothing to do with race.

No it isn't. That is the first time I have ever seen anyone complaining about the issue and the article was clearly written by a black guy with serious prejudice, it was full of buzzwords.
I guess you don't pay much attention to the humanist movements in America then as this issue has mostly been stated by Caucasian atheists in America fearing a lack of connection with the minority groups. Some of us actually like to pay attention to how atheism is evolving in that nation.
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.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

You did not state on this thread your nationality or where you lived to my knowledge other than the fact you're not American.
Atheism+ is just something people do to talk about the issues, but don't do anything. Humanists actually take action.
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.
