Thread Name: BS: New things about atheism
Subject: RE: BS: New things about atheism
I don't see why it's hubris any more than believing in God. You know there's a God? Based on what? Four thousand years of mythology?

It seems there are "degrees" of believers, from people who believe in an amorphous "higher power" to people who believe in a literal, humanoid God. Why can't there be degrees of atheism? I don't believe in God in any form but I don't want to be pushy about it. I don't want to debate believers for the sake of picking apart their beliefs. I just want to be left alone to disbelieve in peace and not be attacked as unAmerican or have my everyday life run into the ground by other peoples' religious agendas.
