only hardcore theist types think it is. like the kinds that think evolution and the big bang and whatnot are ridiculous ideas. but those are the types of people we can safely ignore, like flat earthers

What's with the stupid-ass, biased poll options?

Atheism isn't a religion, in and of itself. However, someone can practice it as such.

Every aspect of their life plastered in atheist paraphernalia. Every conversion has to start with why god doesn't exist. At a point, it begins to memic that which they claim to be against. That is to say, it becomes their god.

It's just more false equivalency used to excuse their own bullshit.

"My religion may have wacky nonsensical inconsistent shit, but you have a religion too!"

"Trump may be stupid, childish, and totally unqualified, but Hillary's just as bad!"

This is how idiots think, and promoting that bullshit is the easiest way to manipulate idiots.

No, not really. A lot of atheists are assholes about it but it doesn't make it a religion. It would be a stretch to even call it a cult. Maybe "cultish" among certain circles, but not generally true overall.

There's nothing wrong with being ignorant or stupid. If someone is truly ignorant, they are simply unlearned. That is nothing to be ashamed of. We are all ignorant about something.

If someone is actually lacking in mental capacity, the last thing you should be doing is mockery of them. It is unlikely that a person chooses to be lacking in intellegence.

One who isn't strong enough to handle the real world on their own, so they have to run towards authority figures to give them a safe space. I mean if i was that pathetic I wouldn't announce it to the world like that. It's one thing to be so soft you mark people cuz you got your feelings hurt, but to make a post admitting to that? Yeesh, you got some issues bud.

There's nothing wrong with being ignorant or stupid, but if you're either (or both) then you shouldn't be trying to argue with people or pass off your ignorant/stupid beliefs as facts.
