Why is it that most atheists seem to define themselves by hating religion or religious people?
Im an atheist because there is very very significant evidence from many scorces that the world is not created or ruled by gods.

But that doesn't mean I define the whole thing by hate. I see way more posts about how much smarter we are than theists, how they are unintelligent, or their kids are vermon, or laughing when they die.
Its almost like people are imperfect, self serving creatures who crave being better than everyone else. Almost like all the human problems were not created by religion. They are just something that happens in large groups of humans with competing self interestscand power structures and a natural fear of people and things that are different. The amount of dehumanizing, unintelligent, classist, racist crap I see in atheist areas leaves me so empty and often really angry.

Anyway that my rant.
I've been locked out of my account for awhile and I finally fixed it.
Good to be back.

Welcome back! As a nonbeliever, I identify as a nullifidian: a person without faith or religious belief. As a former believer, I am not hateful towards anyone for their religious belief, until that belief creates in them an attitude of certitude that they are somehow special or chosen because of that belief, that this faith of theirs requires special consideration by the State, and that the rest of us who don’t believe as they do are damned. People who hold these attitudes, as I sadly once did, are among the most arrogant, self-centered and self righteous jerks on the planet.

It’s not that I have anything against anyone who has. If that’s what you believe then that’s all good by me………but unfortunately it’s just not that way among certain groups.
