Ask an Atheist

1. I didn't actually avoid the question, I was wondering exactly where you got your idea that somehow atheists are the "most vocal", and why that's somehow a point of contention. By wording your question like that, you're assuming that the initial claim is true and forcing us to justify it. But it seems odd to even make that claim, considering that a vast majority of the population, our government representatives (remember, voting is a very vocal action in and of itself), etc are religious, and that atheists are a very tiny majority in comparison. Perhaps you've taken on a form of confirmation bias, ignoring every other instance of every other religious action, and choose to highlight those of atheists instead.

2. Defend that position. I've stated my reasons, explain yours.

Tiny huh? I don't know how to tell you this but majority of our generation are in fact atheists. I know you're trying to talk like a smart ass but you could save me and you the time of just saying "You're clearly biased against atheists". And you're right, not because of their belief but because of their attitude. Take this satellite kid for example, ht literally takes every opportunity to state hes an atheist. Every. Not many fall far from that tree.

You know why it's a stigma? It isn't because they are the outliers of the society, it's because of their attitude of believing they are better than someone that has any type of dependence on religion. Apparently having faith is simply the same as believing in unicorns and fairies, openly mocked really. I myself extremely dislike those type of atheists as much as I dislike the monopoly churches hold, and how religion has become a tool for manipulation.

But yes, I'm stating a common stereotype of Atheists believing that wearing their beliefs on their sleeve is appropriate. Much like obnoxious kids who don't say the pledge of allegiance because they feel its necessary to reflect that right.
