    1. It’s only gatekeeping because you disagree with it.
    2. Hating is not okay. But sometimes it happens. Something happening is not the equivalent to ok.
    3. There absolutely IS a wrong way to do most everthing.
    4. No
    5. Thanks for proving my point.
    6. You’re basically a Christian that doesn’t believe in god.

      Not to say I agree with everything the person you’re responding to is saying, but it’s gatekeeping because you keep repeating “actual atheists.” You’re commiting a No True Scotsman fallacy by saying in order to be a true atheist, you need to act a certain way.

        I also posit this is a common method used to undermine the atheist position and is probably done intentionally here as well

        Just because someone Is right, doesn’t mean they’re gatekeeping.

        Being a blowhard edgy hateful troll towards Christians does not make someone an atheist. It’s the ideology that does.

        And an atheist’s ideology isn’t defined by who they hate.

      You can keep using empty words as much as you want, your anti-atheist stance is very transparent. To clarify, I support any atheist regardless of what they do or how they do it. Most atheists have better morals than religious zealots like you, and even if they didn’t there is nothing they could do to top all the evil atrocities Christianity has done in millennia and is still doing. If you believe in a god or in fairies that’s your right, but when you start lobbying to get legislation passed to satisfy your delusions we have a problem.

        ROFL!

        I’ve been an atheist longer than you’ve been alive. It’s just that I don’t like seeing what people like you are doing to it. Now you may go ahead and accuse me of being against the very thing I’m trying to protect, but tell me-

        Which one of us is exemplifying the one thing they seem to hate the most? Me, trying to explain how hating on others for their choice to believe in a deity is bad for the ideology of atheism, or you- defending those who hate others for their choice to believe in a deity?

        I’m going to block you now as I generally don’t see you having anything worthwhile to offer any discussion I might find myself in.
