41. Are you trying to take away BMUS's atheism?

Because BMUS as an atheist can speak for atheists, or at least comment from an atheist perspective. You are a theist, who cannot speak for atheists.

This atheist obsession you have is a long line of robbing atheists of their voice, and now you dare to turn it back on an atheist?
