then why is so much of its rhetoric (read: richard dawkins et al) delivered like a mailbomb to a house of thought?
but i get what you're saying, and technically it's true. it's just that atheism sets out to be this big, new thing and yet falls prey to the same need for validation at the expense of others that's plagued us since our earliest recorded history. it's supposed to be a void of belief, and yet believing in void IS a belief! it's like all the bad of religion with none of the good tbh.
i'm speaking of atheists generally, of course.
