If George Bush were to suddenly announce he was an Atheist, you know all of the conservative religious people are going to be saying things like "thats the reason he was such a bad president/person/thing, because he was an atheist!"
I don't know why people view atheism as an "ism", i don't think atheism should be acknowledged as anything. As an atheist, i do not want to be called an atheist. I don't like raping women, should i call myself an ARapist? I'm not a terrorist murder, should i be called an Aterrorist?
I don't agree with religion's status in this world's mindset, that you cannot argue/disagree/criticise about without being attacked that it's not right to do so, and it's status as anyone who deviates from it should be labeled.
Sam Harris once said something about not wanting to be called an atheist, because it really is nothing but not believing in god.
