which as far as I am concerned is an extremely wrongful portrayal of what atheism is...to the extent that it comes of almost more as a parody than anything else (maybe it is, I don't know).
Now, suddenly midway in this thread people started using the term "non-religious" instead of atheist, and nobody has actually been commenting much on the specific blog linked in the OP...so from where I'm standing it is now very fussy what people are actually claiming.
Is there some general consensus that writing a theological doctrine on the nature of atheism (and its supposed nihilistic implications) is necessary in order to not have one's secular rights trampled?
