Well you and your friends aren't the general. I've seen many on television, print and Internet do their share of worship and praise.
The Bible commands us to use drugs. We must obey the will of the Lord. http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2...-for-legalizing-marijuana-what-would-jesus-do
It wouldn't have a name, but it would exist, since all atheism is in the bigger sense is the ability to separate obvious fact from absurd fiction. Instead of atheists they might just be called sane people, or people playing with a full deck.
Wrong. I, and probably 99.999999% of atheists have no idea who this Hopkins you speak of is, and don't give a rat's ass what he says. I liken him to someone out to convince the world that water is wet. I know water is wet, and if others are too stupid to figure out the obvious, or too fearful of peer pressure to admit they know it's wet, there's little that can be done to change that. Most of the people in the world aren't all that bright, and never will be. There's nothing to be gained by telling them that if they are unable to figure it out themselves.
What hole you come out of?! You don't know who Hannibal lectur is? No wonder you are so wound up! You have no outlet man!!! Watch a damn movie!
Most atheists do not push their atheism on anyone. And as a whole, they don't proselytize nearly as much as religious groups. Except this guy! CHECK IT OUT! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U58wgn-9Y3c
