This doesn’t bother me. The sad truth is that there are a lot of non-religious people out there who really don’t believe in anything and are put off by religion. If they want some Humanist-type person to talk to, so be it.
I saw an atheist meme that said something like, “it isn’t that we have nothing to live for, it’s that we have nothing to die for.”
So he could add, “Remember, you have nothing to die for so cower in the hole and hope for survival.”
Atheism must equal cowardice, as they have nothing to die for.
