    As a REAL atheist, I’d like to take the opportunity to tell you to sit down and shut up. You’re embarrassing us.

    To everyone else: I offer an apology. Real atheism isn’t about angsty childish complaints and smug insults. Nor is it about becoming the very thing you claim to hate- a judgmental arrogant asshole.

    Actual atheism is simply the decision to not believe in any deities. Live and let live.

      Honestly the r/atheism type angry mocking atheists sure seem to have an axe to grind with someone they say doesn’t exist.

      Like, most people aren’t going into religion with ill intentions, and god doesn’t exist, who you mad at bro?

        Not mad at anyone. Just thought I’d offer up an explanation to those that think all atheists are angsty teenagers that do nothing outside of spewing contempt and insults at people. You see, I don’t like it when people go out of their way to make my personal beliefs and choices look bad.

        I think everyone should be doing this instead of remaining silent and allowing the minority of a thing to dictate its public perception.

        Like how I believe that the majority of Christians are good people. They just don’t stand up against the ones that aren’t.

        You poor angry little child. There are plenty true atheists. You’re just not among them.
