Yes, to learn definitively posted comments from present adherents should be accepted objectively as academic information to be processed and assimilated. Would you be of a mind to comment on a few of the most egregious points in the list of 20?

No. All I need say is that it is not an accurate description of atheists in general and almost certainly not an accurate description of the original writer either.
As you have been told many many times - yet you persist in ignoring it - if you want to know how atheists think, then ask them, and listen to their answers - whilst keeping in mind that how one of us thinks is not necessarily representative of other atheists.

This seems to describe the various actions of atheists instead of their thinking process.
17. Insist that Atheists are Good without God.
However, this might also indicate their thinking process.

Well obviously some theists might claim atheism is based on logical fallacy, the problem is, that said theists never seem to be able to explain what that logical fallacy is.
13. Claim Atheism is not a religion This is hardly 'how atheists think'. Its simply an obvious fact.
Originally posted by Grampy Bobby Ythes; I rather doubt that 1. applies generally to those atheists who contribute to this forum. Your turn.
nearly all appear to be nonsense. which begs the question, why post them? they seem to be as relevant as posting a random collection of statements about cheese.

I will go along with it being a fact that atheist claim Atheism is not a religion.
Atheist will not accept any explantion that their Atheism is based on a logical fallacy.

If you think it is a religion, then say so and explain why you think it is. Maybe you are just playing your age old game of coming up with your own definitions for words as an excuse for talking nonsense.
Atheist will not accept any explantion that their Atheism is based on a logical fallacy. They certainly won't if no such explanations are forth coming.

I can't see ow any of them are valid. Many are descriptions of what someone might do but not of how they might think. and even those do not describe atheists.
The only way to describe how atheists think is to say that they do not believe in a god.
Can you point to evidence of how any[/] atheist on this board conforms to [i]any of those 20 descriptions?

I think atheism is a religious belief just like evilution.
Most atheists say they believe atheism is based on the facts. However, the logical fallacy with that is they do not know all the facts.

Penguin.
I believe all atheists think in a materialistic way and exclude miracles from God and the spiritual as fairy tales and imaginations from the brain.
