That it's in other places like it is in the USA. I think being an atheist or christian here in central europe is very different to what americans experience in their lives. And it's yet another story in other countries.

They seem to have this sense that irreligious/non-spiritual people are "missing something". That " missing something" sense could range from them having some kind of weird pity for us to thinking of us as no different from talking animals. It's like they think we're missing something that should be a apart of humanity. They don't think that we've actually overcome that part of humanity. I said irreligious because I'm from a Buddhist country.

Not believing in anything, which is very true as people just replaced "believing in something bigger" with "numbing depression with consumerism".

But there can be atheist christians (like, they should be if they read the damn bible) and you can be spiritual and social without believing in some random interpretation of other people thousands of years ago, word by word.

Answering that question is pointless: I couldn't give a single solitary flying fuck what a mentally deranged person thinks of any demographic unless it becomes a threat to somebody other than themselves.

We're not really smarter than religious people on the whole. Human intelligence is deeply flawed, being right about anything is a matter of luck and/or hard work

Wut

The Red Scare tried very, very hard to link atheism with socialism, and not only did people believe it, it wasn't particularly wrong.

Believing/disbelieving whatever story about the existence/nonexistence of "god" (or anything else) matters not one whit to me. This obsession with stories that you people share. I do not share it.

That "you gotta be obsessed with stories like me" stereotype.

Well said Dr Satan.

Perhaps that anyone of any religion is not also atheist.

Anyone in any theology believes in only their deity, but doesn't believe in the hundreds of other recorded, historical deities.

Even the theists are atheists.

A-the-ism. "A", lack of/without. "The(o)", god. At it's core atheism means that you don't believe in god, any god. So no, believers can't be atheists because they believe in at least one god.
