Why do atheists feel the need to advertise their godlessness?

Probably for the same reason Christians feel the need to advertise their religion

why do theists feel the need to advertise their goodfullness?

Sorry for these atheists, I don't know what got to them. Religious people would never advertise their own religion, so why should atheists do so.

Relgion has been a hot button topic for millenia, why do you expect that to change?

Because some people just have to be right, and to try and convince others of the same thing.

Insecurity and a need to have their sense of identity validated. Same reasons why some theists advertise their faith.

hey look, its this topic again:roll:

I guess I'm one of the rare few that doesn't do this?

true Carrie Underwood is way out of my league. plus shes already married.

but she is far from a slut.

newsflash, people like sharing their beliefs and opinions and like attention! More at 11.

religous people do the same thing alot as well, democrats and republicans probably do the same thing. I'm pretty much doing the same thing by always having a Zelda avatar or having a video game in my sig.

I wonder if some atheists do not feel that they are part of some sort of exclusive group. Exclusive in the sense that they think they are smart/open enough to see the fallacies of religion and are thus a level higher.

I suppose you can make a case either way. Or that religion or lack thereof is not going to change human nature.

Yah, definitely sarcasm lol.

Yes, because those in religions don't feel the need to force theirs onto others (not a literal generalization). People will be people.

religous people like to feel superior too with their belifes,if you don't like or believe in what they do,then they despise you.

plus they always knock on my door preaching crap to me that i just don't care about

so trust me religious people do more or less what you just posted

when was the last time an atheist knocked on your door at 8am on memorial day while you're trying to sleep and tried to sell you on atheism?? comp_atkins

It's actually not a bad idea, as it would be an opportune way to have fun playing around with the phrase "There are no atheists in foxholes".

How would someone becoming an atheist be a bad thing?

Atheist have no need, no obligation to attempt to "convert" people.lightleggy

Minor difference, yes. The end result is the same. Unwarranted conversion.

How would someone becoming Atheist be a bad thing? It's personal choice, as in we decide for ourselves. If we want to, we can garner the information rather than having it thrust upon us. Personally, i'm Agnostic, and it's how i'll stay.

If there was no religion then there would be half the wars there are, millions of people would still be alive today!seahorse123

The worst wars/theatres of war of our time have rarely invoked religion to any meaningful degree. Rhetoric and propoganda, yes, but the fighting goes on regardless.
