The founding fathers/mothers of Modern Atheism/Liberalism.
Who do you think are the founding fathers of Modern Atheism/Liberalism etc? Imo, it's clearly those like Darwin, Marx, Sanger, Kinsey etc. Thoughts from others?

I don't give a shit. My lack of belief in your or any other stupid fictional diety does not depend on others.

Founding fathers of atheism? What a dumb question. There have always been people who don't believe. We don't need a leader. Fuxxake.

Cavarka. 600bc, India.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Liberalism: Wtf does Liberalism have to do with Athe.....STOP.....its a rhetorical question, please no new thread, you insufferable troll.
Darwin: Wtf does evolution have to do with Athe.....STOP.....its a rhetorical question, please no new thread, troll.
Marx: Wtf does an economics and politics philosophy have to do with Athe.....STOP.....its a rhetorical question, please no new thread, troll.
Kinsey: Seriously?....STOP.....its a rhetorical question, please no new thread, troll.

Atheism: "I do not believe in any god claims. Period"
Which part of this do you not understand after all these threads, after all those explanations?

You really think you can BS this forum into submission?
Do you really think Christ/God approves of that? Do you think the end (salvation) justifies the means (lies!)? A salvation, thats already given according to catechism?
How low are you planning to go, i mean beyond what we all had to witness already? I mean beyond all the blatant lies, mischaracterisatzions, the bastardized science, outdated and falsely applied philosophy, the "create new thread when being shown i am full of shit in the current one"?

There wont be any floor. It could still be an interesting discussion. I bet it would be a huge list with some surprising candidates, all of which equally valid.

There's probably somebody...somewhere..who connects their atheism to an experience they had reading a subway sign.

There were no founding fathers for not believing in gods just like there were no founding fathers for not believing in leprechauns.

As science progressed, people saw that gods and leprechauns were nonsense, and thus people grew up.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

RE: The founding fathers/mothers of Modern Atheism/Liberalism.
The founding fathers and mothers of modern atheism is your “Jesus” and the “church fathers”, and the various “popes”, “cardinals” and their coteries of conceited morons, fools and hangers on, of the kind that couldn’t be more familiar to you for you are one of them. 

They drove the formation of modern atheism by being responsible for thr 2000 year plague of imperial self-aggrandizing monotheist cults of christianity and Islam.     They made theism such a unprecedentedly stifling, overreaching, inescapable,  destructive, nauseating and obnoxious bane of humanity that it turned perceptive people who otherwise would have let more traditional myths and fable slide as innocuous quirks of culture and focused their minds onto the putting rigorous basis under determination of what is and what isn’t so as to contain this mass social disease and bane of progress and enlightened.
