"In Nebraska, Atheists Now Have Their Own Caucus in the Democratic Party"   

This kind of substantiates my observation in the other thread, Atheist tend to be Liberal.

Does G.O.P. stand for Party of God?

strange how someone can take a wide paint brush,and decide those of no religion are automatically atheists.that's not what either article said.

True.  The article itself does make a distinction between Atheists and Nones.  Still, it is a cultural indicator for change.  It's not definitive, but it still brings comfort.  At least, it brings me comfort.

Yes.  Anything to spread confusion and steal legitimacy; about the people who jumped off the religious band wagon.

If they are allowed to redefine it then eventually they will claim we all have belief in something...oh wait.  I have heard that one before...

Such statements never stop.

• Atheists believe in Science.
• Atheists believe in Evolution.
• Atheists believe in the Big Bang.
• Atheists believe in the Multi-Verse.
• Atheists believe in nothing.
• Atheists are of the Devil.
• Atheists just want to sin.
• Atheists hate God.
• Atheists lack proof.
• Atheists are arrogant.
• What if you're wrong?
• If Evolution is true, how come there are still monkeys?
• If the Big Bang is true, what banged?
• You all are just lying.
• How could everything come from nothing?
• There's no love in you.
• Without God, what's to stop you from raping and murdering? 
• You're going to burn in Hell, forever and ever.
• Don't you want to go to Heaven?
• Agnostics don't know what they believe.
• Agnostics can't make up their minds.
• Agnostics are on the fence.
• Agnostics don't know nothin'

Then, there is my least favorite of all

• I don't have enough faith to be an Atheist.

 

Of course, there are others. This is what comes to mind, without having to think about it.  A small sample.
