It was merely a suggestion good friend. I will never force anyone into doing something. And I apologize if I insinuated it.

List the traits of a fundamentalist. Its that simple. Its a personality thing to me. I think of it more of a disorder. so do atheist have the mix of personality traits in their ranks that other groups do? some Atheist claim that atheism is more "honest" than other belief systems. But if you claim any evidence that suggest we are part of a larger more complex system that theist just misunderstand, watch the reaction ya get from some.

And they would be wrong, since it isn't a belief system but the absence of belief. Atheism doesn't require any rules to follow. It's just the bloody absence of belief.

The bottom line is that if we list the personality traits of people that some call "fundy's" will a group as large as the atheist group have people that fit that description? On the bright side, atheism is growing fast enough to have some wackado's too.

maybe 10% of the people understand what it means. You understanding it means we have a real chance at a good leader.
