I'm an atheist, and I'm damn sick and tired of the way some of my fellow non-religionists have behaved of late. They are attention whores, and I have this overwhelming desire to whomp them upside the head and tell them to get a life.

Good for the people in this town. It's time folks showed some gumption when dealing with the militants.

Publius, I’m a Christian and have had many athiest friends through the years.....even family members. I have NEVER seen them act in a militant manner. It’s always been ‘whatever’ with them as them with I. This is political with the attacks. Much more to this.

You’re not an atheist—just a believer in waiting. (’ We want you in heaven bro with buckets of other FReeps when we get there.

I am glad you are on our side. That said, I will pray that you find your way to God.

/an engineer, physicist, mathematician, and other things, but also a former deist, atheist, Hermeticist (not a hermit, it’s a very obscure term), and other things...

[bravo whiskey]

i’m not religious either though i follow a Judeo-Christian ethos. i do get a feeling of serenity when i see a creche or menorah. it seems these in your face atheists do not have a lot of faith in their “lack of faith” if they are afraid of any symbol of religion.

I always think of Doctor Johnson’s remark upon visiting Christopher Smart in gaol, where it was required by the inmate that all his visitors kneel with him in prayer: “I’d as lief pray with Kit Smart as any man.”

[P-Marlowe]

The atheists that get upset about crosses and school prayers are not really atheists.

They believe in God with an evangelical fervor.... and they hate him with every fiber in their being.

[Know et al]

Publius, I have spoken to some atheists that were easier to talk to about Christianity than some “Christians”.

That may sound strange but it is true.

[NativeSon]

These people are not atheists. They believe in destroying the fabric of our society to have us all be subservient and dependent upon their god- Government.

I have never been able to believe in God or The Gods and I will never bow down to anything but removing Religion from humanity will destroy all that we've accomplished, all that we've become.

[onedoug]

Atheist or agnostic? C’mon.
