Atheism isn't some "movement". Why do people keep trying to make it out to be more than it is. Atheism is just a lack in the positive belief that gods exist. That's it. Done. Over.

Yeah, what is this "movement?" I've been a staunch Atheist since middle school, why am I not part of this "movement?" I have a great dislike for new (I use the term loosely) Atheist. They are openly hostile and everybody had to know they are an Atheist. I'm proud to be an Atheist, but I don't bring it up all the time. Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher (holy saviors) are their idols.

It's the religious that push their agendas on other people. I don't believe in god and just want the bible thumpers to leave me alone. I don't lobby my politicians to force my views on others like the baptists and catholics do.

But atheism as a movement is about objective evidence and logic. And objective evidence and logic says that in our society that women, people of color, and LGBT people are marginalized in ways that cis-hetero-white-male-sexual-normative people cannot see on a day-to-day basis. Social justice should be fought for the same way that creationism should be fought and opposed...because truth and logic matters.



Reacting in such a hostile and quarrelsome way to people who do advocate social justice might be even worse than people who are covert racists and sexists and heterosexists. The anti-social justice atheists minimize the experiences of marginalization that marginalized groups possess.

Your first sentence is simply not true. Atheism is a non belief in a God or Gods. Objective and logic have nothing more to do with it. If anything your last sentences reflects the lack of logic and reason of the left.

I've never met an atheist that confuses their lack of religion with anything else.

We tried to have a Reason Rally that takes a stand against racism, sexism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and transexism but a lot of people like Phil "Thunderf00t" Mason and Sargon of Akkkad complain about how "SJWs" have taken over atheism and that atheism should only be a movement of straight white males like Hitchens/Dennett/Harris/Dawkins.

People who oppose "SJWs" are people that think reason and objective evidence only matters in the physical sciences and not in social sciences that show conclusively how SHIRT (sexism heterosexism Islamophobia, Racism, transexism) rigidly shapes society.

Atheism isn't unified beciause of people in the movement can't let go of their bigotry.

Who is Phil "Thunderfoot" Mason or Sargon of Akkkroid? Or for that matter, what is a Reason Rally? The question is thetorical. No answer needed. I don't care who they are.

Your whole point seems to be that other more rational and logical minds aren't jumping aboard your good ship SJW.
