(6,452 posts)It does exist. I just don't think it has the sort of militant underpinnings that you attribute to it.
None of the actions you submit have more than a peripheral association with atheism. Were you to use that standard, there would be few (if any) modern religions that would not be defined as "dangerous". Both the Democratic and Republican parties would be considered "dangerous". Hell, the Girl Scouts would be considered "dangerous".
Just curious - when a religious writer points out a difference they have with atheism, do you call it "hatred" or "bigotry" or "ridicule"? The line you use to define those attributes seems pretty fuzzy for religious folks, but far more strict for the godless. Why is that?
I see where you're going with the "old organized atheism", and that's a line you shouldn't cross. I'm fairly certain that accusing DUers of being murderers is against the community standards.
