The stereotypical kind.

Baby eaters.

[Zachsland]

This doesn't make any sense though there is only 1 type of atheist

Hey, it's that woman who fled our country after being threatened!

I didn't realize atheism was solely defined by the beliefs of four middle aged WASP males.

You can't be protestant and Atheist at the same time.

There are no "kinds" of atheism.

Well, that's not really true. There are passive atheists, and aggressive atheists, and the weird bunch of atheists (people who are atheists because they think it's "cool").

Of course, none of those really fit in the categories, and a lot of atheists borrow traits from the different groups.

Still not "kinds" of atheism. Just different atheists with different personalities.

Do those actually exist? Ive never met nor heard of anyone who that would apply to... I dont even know how that happens... aside from the internet, I cant think of a place where open anti-theism is popular...

[Ardavia]

Atheism is sinful!

Yeah, yeah, we got the idea the first time. No need to repeat yourself.

[Zottistan]

I welcome criticism, but could you expand on your remarks?
As I said, all the options are atheist labels but with very different attitudes.

There are no "kinds" of atheism.

Maybe gnostic and agnostic.

Answers to the question "Are you sure?" which is a different question from "Do you believe?"


Maybe I'm being picky.

I didn't vote on the polls because none fit my criteria of thinking

[Cannot think of a name]

I'm Euphoric.

I feel like I want this dude's lunch money.




Anyway...I get a little weirded out when we start trying to divide atheism into factions. Seems counter-intuitive.

Yeah, there are.

There's agnostic atheism, gnostic atheism, implicit atheism, explicit atheism, religious or supernatural atheism, materialist atheism, and so on and so forth.

I suppose Dawkins type. I think God is as plausible as invisible pink unicorns and while I acknowledge the shortcomings of certainty and the limits of human perception, I live my life as if the things I generally perceive as real and unreal are.

Gnostic atheists do believe.

They believe there is no god. Agnostic atheists simply don't believe there is one. The two qualify as separate forms of atheism, in that one is a belief and the other is a lack of belief.

[Genivaria]

Atheist and Antitheist.

[Greater Watford]

I don't believe in any religion, the idea of a greater power, or a spiritual world, but I accept that others may have these beliefs and don't condemn them for that.

[Katyuscha]

I don't believe in fairy magics.

Do you? I always preferred to pick on kids who didn't look like they'd infect me with something the moment I touched anything they owned.

Happens with every faith. Christians have a million sects, Muslims have a million sects - why not people who are obsessed with atheism?
To be fair, though, most people who consider themselves atheists think these 'factions' are all bull.

[Starkiller101]

Atheist and Antitheist.

you can be both well i guess anything possible

[Genivaria]

Just a hint: Grammar is a virtue. What does your post mean?

...cant tell if sarcasm or serious...

Presuming you are serious, yes you can be both without any conflict.
An atheist describes someone who does not believe in a deity.
An antitheist is someone who does not like religion/thinks it is a bad thing.

If anything, they are generally fairly compatible. Few theists for instance would be anti-theists because why would they follow something they consider terrible?
