Because they're the cliche stereotype that was created by the most 'outspoken' of their types.

I don't know who you are listening to. They live in the cities, where certain clothes like a uniform, and drink coffee, which you can get in any country town. Why not stick to whatever you want to say about Atheists without all that stupid stuff?

Ok. Here's the thing. Atheists instead of calling themselves Atheists should just let Religion go and call themselves Scientific believers, Musicians and other Media caffe-latte 'SNOBS'.
How's that.

Atheism is has been held by some pretty intelligent, down to Earth people. However, I don't suscribe because its too absolute, though they may argue it is not. I still don't get this idea of yours that they are Snobs. Its sounding like an inferiority complex.

No complex. It comes from discussions about Atheism v Religion, while being shouted a cappa while they sip lattes around inner city Darlinghurst, Potts Point and more and listening to them ridicule Religious people 'as Atheists'.
I was never 'anti-Religious', I just wasn't this figment of an imagination by intellectual snobs - called Atheism. I will say that yes, they didn't all wear black skivvy's - except mostly in winter.

After reading through this topic ... I’ve personally concluded that you’re all either Atheists or Agnostics.

Out of curiosity... is there anyone left on OzPol who identifies as a Christian (not just a theist) apart from Sprint and myself? If you do why not let us know. That way we can identify the members in this minority group.

1. Sprint
2. Lisa Jones (myself)

Who else?

Oh so you’re RELYING on some baptism rite which took place whilst you were a baby to help you work out if you’re a Christian (or not) as an adult. Yes?
