It is a fact that Atheists are generally more fun than theists.
Should this not be inclusive to the meaning?

Atheist - a person who disbelieves in any god and is generally more fun than someone who does.

Catholic girls have the dirtiest minds. It is known.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Sexual repression has unintended consequences. My favorite kind of irony.

Atheist - a person who disbelieves in any god and is generally more fun than someone who does.

Judging by this forum, that does seem to be the case. The majority of the theists we get never step outside the deadly serious religious discussions and into the more light hearted threads.

Some do, and I appreciate those few who make the effort Smile

Anything added to Napo's definition would have been too loang. Atheists can believe what they want beyond that, but nothing else is definitive of the word.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
