So my question is, why do atheists spend so much time concerned with what non-atheist groups are doing?
One website's forum is not a very good indication of what all atheists or even some atheists do or think.
If you want a reason _some_ atheists want to discuss religion, it's maybe because religion, or the religionists anyhow, SOME OF THEM, spend so much time trying to figure out how to change our minds. And bad-mouthing us to high heaven (can I use that word?) LOL!
Maybe if you-all stopped worrying so much about us, and stopped trying to inject your silly beliefs (in our opinion) into the public arena we'd stop worrying about _you_.
When you guys try to bring religion back into the public schools and into government, you shouldn't be surprised we are going to raise our voices about you. I know I will.
