Again, lack of belief in a deity is he only requirement for being an atheist

If you don't like that people bang on about Christianity because they live in the part of the world where that's the dominant oppressor: deal with it, nobody cares that you don't like it :)

I care. So there goes your nobody argument. Care to offer up any more inaccurate blanket statements?

The fact is- edgy wannabe atheists are giving the ideology a bad name. I’m not going to argue this with you. Deal with it, I don’t. Are that you don’t like it.

(See how that works?)

Lol, pretending like "nobody cares" is invalidated by YOU caring shows you don't know how our language works or are doing it on purpose to be a prick

The fact is- edgy wannabe atheists are giving the ideology a bad name

I don't disagree entirely. I also don't care if it is or not

I’m not going to argue this with you. Deal with it, I don’t. Are that you don’t like it.

You're the one who's going to have to deal with t since you're the one who's butthurt.

Your pathetic attempt to turn my own words on me fails miserably when you're the one who cares about the topic, not me. You come across as a petulant, whiny child who thinks copying the adults words means they win.

Atheism has a "bad name" insofar as it can be said to have because theists in general and abrahamic religions in particular tend to believe that disbelief is immoral in and of itself and that without fear of punishment or hope of reward users will be less moral. In fact disbelief is morally neutral and atheists are on average more moral people because real morality is virtually always rooted in empathy, guilt, and shame not fake rewards.

And angsty teenagers aren’t helping with non theists.
