Do All Atheists Have Personality Defects?

3. When someone tries to use what they think is their superior

fashion sense to legislate what pants you can wear, and demands you constantly bow before their obviously much grander outfits than yours, then your silly-ass comparison will have some merit.

Most of us understand religion better than religious people. Hell most of us were religious at one time. Not believing something there's no evidence for isn't closed minded, especially if you're willing to consider new evidence. Being willing to consider new evidence is far more than the vast majority of theists can say. Which is why atheism is the only religion that isn't determined mostly by what religion your parents were.

We focus on fundamentalists and literalists because they're the ones doing most of the damage to causes like gay rights, bodily autonomy for women, and anything that helps the poor. And because we don't trust the "liberal" Christians to do it because they often shy away from criticizing their more strident fellows, and when they DO bother to criticize the hardline Christians, it turns into a grand game of "YOU aren't a Real Christian!" "No, YOU aren't a Real Christian!" that does absolutely nothing useful for anyone. Not much focus on the target of the oppression, just a pissing contest to see who gets to use the label.

We do thank you for your ironic use of Dunning-Kruger, though. I say ironic because it doesn't mean what you think it means. Neither does personality defect.
