Atheistophobia
#21
RE: Atheistophobia
Nonfairytalebelievingadultphobia. Bit more snappy.

Or maybe sanephobia.

It clearly is a very wide spread phenomenon, and it is definitely rooted in fear. We get so much negative propaganda and misrepresentation that I have to keep pulling reams of straw out of my arse.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.

There's such a thing as pre-emptive objections to those words meant to shut off debate, too.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Hardly. I object to the use of theses words as they are typically employed as pure invective with very little substance other than "we don't agree". I don't walk away and shutoff debate when they are deployed. When confronted with this bit of inanity I ask for a clarification of meaning. This almost always results in something along the lines of "you know what I mean", "you don't understand (a partial truth by the way)", "you're racist", "you don't know what *phobia means? Idiot" and many other diversionary tactics.

Sadly the user par excellence in my opinion is an atheist, PZ Myers. Closely behind are the minions of FTB and A+.

How about "Republican Prick." That rolls off the tongue pretty easy for me.
