It's not the opposition's fault that a bunch of atheists are mega shitheads

Certainly not. But grouping atheists together and saying "atheists are dicks" is even more illogical than grouping, say, Christians together, because at least Christians are a group of people with some core beliefs in common. Atheist means nothing, except no belief in god(s). Atheism is not a religion.

Eh. It's ultimately unfair, yes, in the sense that obviously not all atheists are dicks (and it should be pointed out that in nearly all dialogues about how atheists are dicks, a lot of the people participating are also atheists - it's not like we're unaware of the fact that not all atheists are dicks, being atheists ourselves). But that's what's going to happen when you get a movement of people trying to organize and to take the position of spokespeople for atheism, and those people are shitburgers.

I don't know. It's kind of sucky that these people have become as prominent as they have, but it's not really something that bothers me. Partly that's because the shitty atheists actually are somewhat organized and homogenuous in their views. Really it's more a trick of language than anything else - we say "atheist" when we mean "a part of the subsection of atheists who really sucks" and I kind of feel like most people realize that. I know that's what I mean, and I know that my atheist beliefs aren't implicated in that.

So uh yeah.

Actually when I say "atheist" I mean "atheist." When I say "shitburger" I mean "shitburger." When I say, "Richard Dawkins" I mean "Richard Dawkins." It's not that hard.
