    You’re talking about how it SHOULD be. Not how it it’s becoming. And besides- I’m talking about internet “atheism,” not atheism. On the Internet, a truism is basically just hatred as smugness. And it’s evolving into a full-on religion.

      No, I am talking about both.

      Atheism has no tenets, holy books, authority figures, etc. Nor is it developing those things. That applies in person and on the internet. It is in no way a religion. Not playing golf isn’t a sport.

        You still don’t understand what I am saying so I will try and explain it one more time:

        What you’re describing is ATHEISM. And you are correct. But…. What I’m talking about is this thing kids are CALLING “atheism.”

        It’s not atheism. It’s angsty hatred for cool points. They’ve co-opted the word and made it something else. Actual atheism isn’t about smug hatred.
