From what I've seen over the years it often just boils down to an attempt at self-victimisation. As soon as a good debate gets going between the religious 'side' and the Atheist 'side', it's always the religious side that resorts to accusing their opponents of forcing Atheism on them. When the Theists realise they don't have an argument, they come out with "UR FORCING UR BELEEFZ ON MEH" even though they themselves voluntarily took part in the debate to begin with.

They're like that child at school who goes around provoking people and looking for trouble, and then they act like the victim when they're out of their depth.

That's the stereotypical trend atheist. Actual atheists aren't like that.

You're being stereotypical there. Atheists aren't all like that. Maybe some losers on the internet are, but that's just a small fraction of all Atheists.

I assume you live in America, where many people believe in God, but in other continents like Europe there are many more Atheists, especially younger adults who are more open minded and don't usually listen to their parents' beliefs.

It's not like there are any less antisocial Christians on the world than there are antisocial Atheists, really. What makes you believe that?

Guys an atheist is someone that doesn't believe in the existence of any god and religion. That's all it basically is. How hard is it to define that?

Atheist: An individual who doesn't know how the fuck he universe was created, so he doesn't start believing random bullshit to answer that question.

A stereotypical atheist is what is typically found on the Newground's BBS

A "stereotypical" atheist, as they are so called...
Is an atheist who believes in atheism.

They preach, but not as much as the Catholic Church

Fix't

Let me first say that despite being religious myself, there's a lot of aspects of certain religious people's beliefs that I don't like. I don't like their intolerance of other religions (I personally have no problem with, say, Muslims, but if the news is to be believed there's a lot of Muslims who hate Christians). I don't like their literalist, fundamentalist view of every word in their respective holy books, as if the Adam and Eve story was anything more than an allegory about the loss of innocence as man moved from hunting and gathering to farming and herding.

That being said, a stereotypical atheist is even worse. He takes every opportunity to bash religious people, and is just as intolerant of the religious as the Muslim fundamentalists supposedly are of Christians. The stereotypical atheist (Richard Dawkins is about the best example I can think of) sees religion as bad in every way, as though there were no benefit to morality or to the social cohesion provided by common faith in the same principles. Luckily that's just a stereotype and most atheists probably aren't like that, except on bad Internet forums.

I wonder why is it most atheist take theists for morons... Some people need to believe in something, but that doesn't lower their IQ, unless they want to be morons that is.

Stereotypical Atheist: Someone who doesn't believe in god.

Stereotypical Ng'er: An angrily depressed Atheist how wants lots if not all people to die.

I have nothing against theists. René Descartes is a man for which I have great respect, and he was a theist.

But the Catholic church wanted to kill him. Why? Because he promoted a method to think by yourself, instead of letting authorities think for you.

Now, to all you morons who don't know what atheism is, it ONLY means you don't believe any deity exists. It's not about evolution, not about the Big Bang, not about any after-life.

A normal person, but without religion.

This would not be me.

a stereotypical Atheist in an ingnorant cunt that always is eager to proclaim to the world about his atheism via Newgrounds and YouTube comments, perhaps making a religion thread and thinking that the discussion he started is new or that persons atheism is important.

We see it every day.

Fuck you.

No, you asshole, Atheists just don't believe in any GOD.

I'm an athetist and i have many beliefs, God isn't one of them. Most of them happen to quite humanitarian.

The news is virtually never to be believed, the Muslims you here about on there are the extremists and thus the intolerant ones. The vast vast majority are not openly against Christianity, a point made to me when visiting a predominantly Muslim country (Tunisia). In many cases the news is the reason for a stereotype. Christian extremists exist as well, they just aren't on the news as often.

He takes every opportunity to bash religious people, and is just as intolerant of the religious as the Muslim fundamentalists supposedly are of Christians.

But don't you think that is the stereotype because those are the only atheists you come across? The ones that shout out about their beliefs and attempt to threaten other peoples, in exactly the same way as the only Muslims people hear about are the extreme ones. The vast majority of atheists are probably quietly living their own lives without religion, and have no interest in damaging it. Each to their own so to speak. My entire family is atheist. Not once have they ever openly attacked religion, they just live their lives like everyone else.

As with all stereotypes, the one of all atheists being angst ridden teenagers wanting to rebel against the world is rubbish. I'm no teenager, I have no desire to rebel (in fact most aspects of my life are completely ordinary and boring), and I've been an atheist all my life. I don't have a desire to abolish or attack religion (though I must confess I'm very much against the teaching of creationism as a biology graduate and soon to be teacher), if people want to believe in God then by all means do. I simply encourage people to think for themselves and make their own conclusions, whatever they may be, and not blindly follow a crowd.

This already seems to be a hot topic. Well Imo, some atheists may be that kind of dickhead that apparently most people say they are here, but some atheists are really nicee, just they don't go to any Church/Temple/Party House/Basement to pray.

Now I know some really terrible atheists around my block, but at least they're better than this:

or

They say that they're pure Christians, but I would categorize them as the Just plain Crazy hypocritical religion.

Fixed it for what athiests think of us. Stuff like this just makes it worse;

im more agnostic. i belive that there could be a heaven/hell, but idk about someone being in charge

When it comes to Newgrounds, the stereotypical atheist usually makes a new thread that consists of something along the lines of, "I don't think God is real. My opinion > yours. Atheist 4 lyfe. =] Lulz." Flame wars are usually the result, although I've seen some intelligent discussion in these threads.

There is nothing wrong with religion threads, but if the OP consists of something similar to what I just posted than the thread really needs to be ignored.

Oh since atheists will lurk this thread, I'd like to say a few things:
1. It's atheist. Not athiest.
2. When the person you are debating with quotes the HOLEY BIBULL as an argument, any further argumentation is futile, since the person is obviously a hopeless retard.
3. Any group or organization for Atheism is stupid and will most probably become corrupted, since it is the same as a religion.
4. Christmas must bear no meaning to you, but the New Year can bear a meaning, since it is the celebration of the new year, a bit like a common birthday.
5. This whole message is just recommendations, because you must think by yourself rather than letting others tell you what to believe. "Others" includes me.

Its about damn time someone pointed that out.

True but I've heard equally intelligent arguments from the other side,

3. Any group or organization for Atheism is stupid and will most probably become corrupted, since it is the same as a religion.

I disagree, I would like to see an organization promoting Atheism in communities. I'm not saying something like a church. Just something to promote tolerance and understand. Its amazing how many people view non-believers as the scum of the Earth.

Thank you

Tolerance and understanding? Of what? What will most likely happen is an institution that calls believers idiots and delusional under the guise of "tolerance and understanding." I have nothing against Atheists, but it's what will happen.

If they didn't call people stupid or delusional(but that's what they really are amirite? LOLOLOL. Yeah no) then I could see it happening. But when you generalize religion as believing in some magical sky-daddy and equate it to a flying teapot and pink unicorn, which is very insulting, some disagreements are bound to arise.

That can happen with any group. Hell the KKK started as a Gentleman's club. Additionally, no organization can preach tolerance in one breath and call others delusional idiots in the next.

Don't get me wrong, Atheist can be incredibly condescending. But when people try to tell us to believe in talking snake, a man living in a fish for days and two of every animal living for 40 days in a boat the size of a football field and three stories tall, to a nonbeliever there may as well be a pink unicorn. In fact a pink unicorn seems more believable than some of the things I read in Sunday school.

Well that is pretty much the stereotypical atheist, but it did seem like he was saying thats what all atheists are like.But what pisses me off is that people( of any religion, although mostly atheism) act lke they are right and they are so smart and cool. I myself think that Christianity, has gone for too long and has been too much a part of a law, government, teachings etc. when really it is no different than Greek or Norse mythology, although people can't control what they're taught as a child to be fact, but they can control if they're a prick to others.

Unless they are taught that being a complete dick gets you to heaven.
