Just another reason to hate religious extremists and organized religion in general...

[eppie]

Is it me, or is atheism turning into a zealous religion these days?

Not an atheist? Then you're a moral and intellectual inferior and must convert because you offend me!

The only thing I can comment is that the name atheism is wrong. It makes theism the standard.
When the world was ignorant theism was the standard, but now that most of the intellectual elite doesn't have anything with organized religions, maybe we should change the name.
