    This is basivi when somebody tries to be an atheist in a dogmatic, religious way.

    Being atheist, at least to me, means that you don’t care about any of that crap, you just try to be a nice person and let others be

    I’m “militant” enough to wish that all religions would be prohibited as they’re nothing but tools for control, but I won’t beat someone over the head for believing in fairytales

      Seems like atheist in predominantly religious societies tend to behave a bit different, and I can understand that teenagers would want to make a big deal out of it.

      My parents were atheists, and so have I been my entire life. But we still celebrated Christmas because it was nice and a tradition. We didn’t go to church or do any religious stuff during Christmas, but ate a traditional Christmas meal, had a Christmas tree, presents and what not.

      Religion was just not a topic at all, unless religious people did stupid stuff in the name of religion

      I agree. Hate religion, not the practitioner. Unless that particular believer is a dick.
