I can't remember the last time any god or gods came up in conversation here.

I rarely encounter it at work, which is surprising for a nursing home setting. Though recently a nurse asked me directly, and I was honest in stating that I do not believe.

Atheists only get lifestyles.  Everyone else gets lives. It's the rule.

Eating babies and spreading communism, obvs.

And OP is right, I can't find a decent restaurant that serves fried babies.
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"

Excuse me, I don’t eat babies, I ground them up to make potions for ensnaring Christian children.

Yeah that's true. Makes me want to punch religious people (especially Christians) really fucking hard.

"Atheist lifestyle" means exercising atheist ideas... such as:
- Where do you find your friends? 
- What you do on sunday mornings instead of church
- What you do when a theist blocks some service or product because it interferes with their religious ideas
- Do you consider females at 2-3% of computer users at the library a problem with your Atheism?

-I go outside and I talk to people. I don’t insist that my friends be atheists.

-Make stuff, usually.

-That’s never happened to me.

-I don’t understand this question.

Sounds like you should consider converting.

Or you are a troll.

I’d really like it explained what females using computers has to do with my atheism.
