In reply to the discussion: The rise of atheism in America [View all]cbayer
(146,218 posts)4. While I like and respect your description of who you are and how you got there,
I have a question.
Is part of embracing your atheism putting down people who see it differently? And, if so, why is this a part of it?
I ask because of your phrase "weak of mind followers of myths and fairy tales". Do you apply this to all theists and/or deists?
FWIW, I think that many have achieved the goals you have achieved and have a religious belief system, too. Perhaps there is more than one way to reach the same goal?

As long as they don't try to shove their beliefs down everybody's throat I just don't mind.

We are just well educated and accepting of scientific fact rather than myths and fairy-tales.

tama, I hate to say it, but posts such as this don't really aid your cause or your case.
