Agreed, but since people really like to put Things into boxes, atheism has sorta become a another thing, perhaps even a philosophy, definitions change, as humans change.

Content is ever so important.

are you kidding?
you haven't checked the polling





In the bible belt, you're more likely to elect Jerry Sandusky to office than Madalyn O'Hair

That would be true if atheists weren't constantly bombarded with religious propaganda and attempts to subvert or belittle their position. The fact that in any arena of serious discussion we constantly have to justify our disbelief has made a generation of people who, by and large, are more likely to be able to think logically and critically.

Atheism is the position of disbelief in the divine. That IS all it should be. I agree.

Unfortunately, that isn't all it is.

i thought the answer to this would be common knowledge by now

though i hadn't expected we'd fallen below rapists in trustworthiness

remember we eat babies

e/ must have many american politicians hiding there atheism, would be jobless otherwise

...with the number of PaRDians who actually live in the Bible Belt why make a poll at all ?

It is unfair and unscientific to say that there is no God or gods.
That being said, I am an atheist.
I think atheists get a bad rep because of all the teenage (and some older) bad atheists who parade around saying "You must be stupid to believe in God" or flat out claiming that God does not exist.
They are unscientific thinkers and oppose progress for all religious groups. :/
People who think they are special or smarter or in any way superior for being an atheist need to just stop and read the facts.

Pretty sure he didn't mean a jsp poll. Your life might revolve around jsp but not everybody else's does.

Atheist is to say that God does not exist, you seems more to be agnostic
