Thread Name: BS: New things about atheism
Subject: RE: BS: New things about atheism
The most important thing about intolerance is that it feeds on anger. Religious anger can trigger a reaction from some atheists which is not necessary. If you don't believe, you don't believe. It should not provoke anger in anyone but unfortunately it does in some.

Non-belief doesn't even need a label. As Jonathan Miller has pointed out, you don't have to define a non-belief in witches or goblins.

To me this is the point about new "atheism". It doesn't need a label to exist.
