No, there are not atheist missionaires. That's because atheists are not out to do any converting and need to send out "missionaries". Of course, just like normal people, atheists do donate money and time to good causes. I prefer donating to food banks because I feel that is where it will do the most good.
I don't care if you attack atheism. It doesn't bother me one bit. There is no evidence a god exists and "attacks" on that doesn't change the lack of evidence. I actually find your attempts to attack atheism pretty funny.
What I love about being a Democrat is that the party is a big tent party. There is plenty of room for atheists, agnostics, Christians, Hindus or whatever religion one wants to claim as their own. My personal opinions are not going to sway their beliefs one bit and I'm not out to change that. It's their right and their personal business.
LOL. Being called a militant atheist is just too funny. All that means is that I'm not the sit down and shut up kind of person. I put out my opinions and you're offended that I have the audacity to say that I think religion has about as much credibility as Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy.
This is DU and challenging religion and how it's used is the norm around here. The more specific forum is religion where it gets rather over the top with the differing opinions.
Like I said...it doesn't bother me if you want to attack atheism. It means nothing more than no god exists. I think you're the one that's got the bigger problem with your vast amount of misconceptions about atheists.
