I find atheists self-hating miserable know-it-alls. Usually a drug filled past, ex hippie type. Dysfunctional, not very good at relationships, etc. BUT....they have all the answers noone else has. Amazing.
Most of the atheists I know are very judgemental.
What a bunch of BS. Where are the facts associated with this. Look I understand ur an English teacher who hates America, but we're doing ok since u left.
Despite this the vast majority of scientists and intellectuals is composed of atheists. Huge generalisations you are making there.
And assuming those who are not atheists are idiots is not a generalization? Nice try.
Extremely judgemental. "All you people are complete idiots, but hey, I'm not judging you".
I don't think that the main fact is debatable: In any country, the higher the education level is, the more atheist you're likely to find. If some atheists can be aggressive, it's nothing compared to the biggots you'll find all over the planet.
+1The smartest men in history were atheists.
I'm reading a great book - The Portable Atheist right now, lists the most famous atheists's of history.http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Atheist-Essential-Readings-Nonbeliever/dp/0306816083/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1238773016&sr=8-1
Copernicus, Francis Bacon, Kepler, Descartes, Newton, Boyle, Mendel and Kelvin.
All a long time ago...if they had lived now they would have been atheists.
What is believing something without evidence? It's ignorance and stupidity. So they are right.
