For those who are what I call, “exttreme” atheists, faith and state must be kept miles apart from each other no matter the costs. But it is set up for epic fail indeed.
I’ve run into evangelistic atheists, about all one can do is pray for them. They are indeed very much like liberals in their zeal, whether they are liberal politically or not. They want and hope to convince others to non believe the way they do. They seem to be seeking confirmation.
They form their own groups, which they are perfectly free to do in our society, that too is to reassure each other.
My group (Church) is formed to worship the living God as a family of believers.
Evangelical atheists=angry atheists. The most obnoxious people on the planet.And yes, typically left wing.
We are not endowed by chance with unalienable rights which is why an atheist philosophy inevitably leads to political slavery.

Except for those Christians like the Westboro Baptist Church...there are obnoxious Christian Evangelists.

They are “antithiests: They know God exists and fight Him.
Ironically, keeping “faith and state” “separated” invariably leads to the state BECOMING god.
Especially if you mix in hardcore relativism - under relativism, what is true and right is determined by who gets the power to enforce their truth and morality.
With the objective standard of morality, and the agreement to defer to it regardless of our own opinion, it doesn’t matter so much who has power.
I don’t believe in atheists; really I don’t.
You have people who reject God for one reason or another. The ones that are angry about it, make that rejection a production. Not unlike adult chidlren who revel in showing their parents that they can do anything that they want to (generally the worse the better). They profess not to care what their parents think, yet they can’t stopping talking about how much they “don’t care”.
The action refutes the assertion.
You got it. Said it better then I could. :)
Ayn Rand does a good job refuting that.
I’ve met those kind of people. Frankly, they come across as having a “kill the Jews” mentality in regards to religion.
I believe I’m the former, and I don’t have a whole lot of respect for the latter myself.
I’m content not to believe in God and leave it at that, but I also have Christian parents and many Christian friends and mentors and I have no interest in seeing them cursed or belittled simply for being religious. I know I’m going against Ayn Rand on this and I’m a big supporter of hers, but I do believe it is possible to believe in God and still be a wise, kind and successful person.
I call them "militant secularists."
There’s a guy who posts reviews on Amazon, going by the name “lucifer”. He likes to find religiously oriented books, then post biting, sarcastic reviews and give them five starts so that they are right there among the other reviewers who actually did like the book.
My first thought was, gee, this guy has time to spare....
The only difference between a secular humanist and a Satanist is that the latter knows who he’s working for.
They are not Christian at all. Not one iota. Christ will have nothing to do with them and they will be sent to the lake of fire with more guilt on them than an athiest. They are actively destroying lives by lying about their beliefs.
Your post puts into words my take on this subject. It matter not to me what a persons beliefs are. I judge by their actions.
