Many people are hesitant to identify as atheists because of the social stigma they may face, making it hard to pinpoint connections and differences among this group.
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.
You’re talking about how it SHOULD be. Not how it it’s becoming.
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.
I get what you’re saying, but it’s not. It’s an ideology. However- with the blind hatred of others who chose to believe differently, they may as well rebrand and become Christianity minus a god.
Atheism isn’t a religion bud.
It’s becoming one.
No it isn’t. It has no tenets, no holy books, no authority figures. By definition it is a lack of a religion.

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.
Yes it is.
It’s a religion in the same way that having no favorite sports team is itself someone’s favorite team.
