What kind of Atheist are you?

[European Socialist Republic]

The "Godless Commie" kind.
Serious now, I consider myself to be an Antitheist Atheist.

[Genivaria]

There are no "kinds" of atheism. Atheism is an absolute statement ("There is no god"). Agnosticism is open-minded ("I don't know if there's a god, can you prove it?).

False. Atheism is the lack of belief in a deity. It is not an assertion that no deities exist.

[Frisivisia]

The philosophically coherent kind, rather than the "I want to be part of a group and think myself smarter than everyone else" kind.

But Joe, I thought you said you were a Catholic?

Double wrong.

Atheism is lack of belief in god, and does not require the absolute that you claim. Agnosticism is the position that it is not possible to know whether God exists or not, and any actual agnostic won't ask you for "proof" because their entire belief system is that it isn't possible to have such proof.

Protip: Learning the meanings of words before you use them will save you much embarrassment.

Maybe he's a cultural Catholic.
Those are a thing.

We all say things to get elected.

Britain has many peoples, they might be more Scandinavian, French or Celtic than they are Anglo-Saxon, who knows? A lastly, they are atheists, so they can't be protestant. Dawkins might've been rasised Anglican but he is currently Atheist,

You missed the critique. It flew right over your head.

We're looking at one specific group here, white males in britain. We're ignoring the entire globe of experience...

White males? Polish (who are mainly Catholic) immigrants, Romanian immigrants, Viking invaders, Norman invaders, Roman invaders, native Celts.
We are looking at Atheists from everywhere.

[Immoren]

I am "Cast down the idols! Destroy the temples! Slay the priests! Show these fools that they worship nothing more than a rotting corpse!" kind of atheist.
Just kidding

[Olthar]

The kind who doesn't believe in any gods.

[Dolantown]

I cannot physically be more antitheist

[Nationalist State of Knox]

I don't... really...

Atheism is simply a lack of belief in god. You can't have different varieties of unbelief.

[Vixia]

I'm not an Atheist, I am fine with atheist, judging that most of my friends are atheists. But I will tell you now that I hate Atheists that act all condescending and think that because they are atheists, they are philosophers, like 4/5 of the ones on Youtube.

[Nervium]

Well, yes, you can, there are religions that are atheistic, that's a variety of a belief.

Belief =/= disbelief

Belief =/= disbelief

Doesn't change the fact that it's a variety.

[Olthar]

Belief =/= disbelief

Doesn't change the fact that it's a variety.

A variety that in no way influences or is influenced by the lack of belief in any gods. Just because two people believe different things and are both atheists, it doesn't mean that there are different types of atheism.

[New Educandi]

Nobody goes on a forum screaming "Atheism is so evil" unless they're pre-teens who've been raised in a Christian household and they just found the Internet, either that or someone saying that is a troll.

I am a Roman Catholic.

so? that doesn't give you right to go flaming a atheism forum post.

[Olthar]

How can anybody deny the beautiful word of the Lord?

Vader?
Bane?
Tyranus?
Byron?
of the Rings?

Of that list, I suppose Lord Byron probably has the most beautiful words, so maybe that's the lord Tsar was talking about?

[Chinese Regions]

I am a Roman Catholic.

I never said you weren't.

Maybe he thought "Troll" is a member of a certain religion.

[Irish Realm]

Atheism is sinful!

Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the tolerance bed.

'What kind of Atheist are you?'

*implying everyone on here is athe-

Oh wait, this is #NSG. Nevermind.

Somebody stood on the Bible when their Valet was waking them up!

Palaptine/Sidious said "something something dark side", what can be more beautiful than that?

[Olthar]

The Lord God of Christianity.

Christianity? What kind of meat is that?

I think it's actually a type of cracker or something. I had some once when I went into a Church. It was kinda dry and tasteless.
