This is a question I don't understand the attraction

Smaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Most atheists (in fact most religious types too) don't give a stuff what other people believe
they just want a quiet life.

About six posts on every page of this QOTW would suggest otherwise.
Most atheists seem to want to ram their beliefs down everyone's throats.
If I was a rather more militant agnostic I'd want to ram my belief down everyone's throat too, but I don't.

Atheists don't have beliefs
that's kind of the whole point

...and in a QOTW about things you don't see the attraction in, surely most if not all atheists don't see the attraction in religion? I certainly don't get the point of singing songs to the sky...

nope...
They simply don't believe in a god. They - presumably - do believe in other abstract concepts, such as 'right' and 'wrong'.

And in any event, most atheist posts tend not to be a gentle reflection on why the poster doesn't personally see the point in religion. Instead, they tend towards abusive chastisement and smug superiority.

most of the ones I've seen on here tend to be of the flavour:
I don't see the point of blah blah blah

blah blah blah

blah blah blah

...and religion.


But let's not let that get in the way of the Christians with a persecution complex. Since when did rational debate, or logic, or evidence, or truth mean anything to religionists anyway?

What beliefs?
Some atheists have vocal disagreements with people who want to push their supernatural agenda (e.g. teaching "Intelligent Design" instead of evolution, writing laws based on religious dogma etc.) and will get quite foamy about it. I'm one of them.

Most atheists only go as far as not going to church and changing channel when Songs of Praise comes on.
