Um.. I've been an atheist all my life, I think I lack the gene for theism that most people have. Even people who are brought up atheist or forced into atheism via state coercion like in China or other Marxist hellholes, are usually very superstitious, they just don't follow specific dogma, but that's not me.
That being said, I can't support any movement made by atheists, as it is always totalitarian and exclusive, it can't work otherwise. The biggest problem very smart atheists cannot solve, and don't see, people like Sam Harris for example, is the fact they assume every other human being is just as rational as they are, if only they would be properly educated. This is ridiculous, as we have seen in the last 100 years, religious fervour needs no religion, a secular state and it's proponents, once in power, are more dogmatic than any religious leader short of maybe an Islamist extremist.
Amazingly, in the past 3 years, I have come to the conclusion, that in the US at least, I would rather be ruled by Christian fundamentalists than by any of the new far left that has invaded social media, and the far left wing of the Democrat party. Incredibly, the "side of science" has completely abandoned rational scientific inquiry, and the "side of faith" has accepted science and statistics, clown world indeed. Thankfully, at the moment, those are not the only two choices.
