Being an atheist is like being a rick and morty fan, ultimately it's cool and good but is just chockful of dipshit garbage people and it's usually the worst who are the most prolific

here's the thing about being a LOUD AND PROUD atheist; it's pointless. if you're coming from a materialist perspective your analysis and critiques are already rooted in reality and bereft of god, and composed in a way that doesn't automatically discredit you in the eyes of faithful people by positioning yourself in a loud group of goobers who jerk off about saying "Merry Crimbo" and getting their driver's license photo taken with a spaghetti strainer on their heads

i just don't see the point at all in identifying as an atheist, especially with the cartoonish baggage it carries, it's the "everything but rap and country" of personalities

religion is pretty fundamental expression of culture that'll probably always exist in some fashion

it's possible to completely divorce it from class antagonisms like patriarchy and racism and for it to exist alongside a healed human society

there are plenty of radical left people of faith, and learning how to accommodate people of faith and radicalize them will be very important because large swaths of the population are poor and religious.

i can prove they're being exploited for profit by the wealthy, that we exist in a system of social dominances based on arbitrary class distinctions to keep white patriarchs in power, but i can't prove their invisible man doesn't exist

Atheism is fine when taken literally but Internet Atheism just turned into jerking off over the implausibility of Bible stories instead of like, having any sort of etiquette or moral code themselves. So 100% of it is cumming on each other's galaxy brains instead of trying to find any inherent meaning in life or any appreciation for the people around you. There's nothing to do with Atheism but lash out and feel superior.

Just say Agnostic and dodge all that. it means pretty much what you want Atheism to mean but at least implies you thought about it first and have some internal understanding of the actual functions of religion and spirituality
