Answering that question is pointless: I couldn't give a single solitary flying fuck what a mentally deranged person thinks of any demographic unless it becomes a threat to somebody other than themselves.

That it's in other places like it is in the USA. I think being an atheist or christian here in central europe is very different to what americans experience in their lives. And it's yet another story in other countries.
Believing/disbelieving whatever story about the existence/nonexistence of "god" (or anything else) matters not one whit to me. This obsession with stories that you people share. I do not share it.
That "you gotta be obsessed with stories like me" stereotype.
Well said Dr Satan.
Not believing in anything, which is very true as people just replaced "believing in something bigger" with "numbing depression with consumerism".
But there can be atheist christians (like, they should be if they read the damn bible) and you can be spiritual and social without believing in some random interpretation of other people thousands of years ago, word by word.
Atheist and Athlete look too similar
We're not really smarter than religious people on the whole. Human intelligence is deeply flawed, being right about anything is a matter of luck and/or hard work
Perhaps that anyone of any religion is not also atheist.
Anyone in any theology believes in only their deity, but doesn't believe in the hundreds of other recorded, historical deities.
Even the theists are atheists.
A-the-ism. "A", lack of/without. "The(o)", god. At it's core atheism means that you don't believe in god, any god. So no, believers can't be atheists because they believe in at least one god.
That atheist are generally right wing
Wut
The Red Scare tried very, very hard to link atheism with socialism, and not only did people believe it, it wasn't particularly wrong.
