I have known a few Atheists in my life. And most of them just accept that for them, their is no God.

But I also have noticed a brand of what might be termed Fundementalist Atheism, where they feel the need to convince everyone else that God dosen't exist.

It seems to me that for the fundementalist atheists, their form of atheism takes on a religious tone. One could almost say in some cases, it's an anti-theistic religion.

I've always been courious as to why some Atheists seem to feel the need to do anything and everything to convince others to their point of view.

If God dosen't exist, then why argue about it? I don't try to convince people that the Easter Bunny dosen't exist, or that Santa dosen't exist. Why would I? Why would i give a damn if you did?

Indeed, if you did believe that Santa existed, I would simply internally shake my head and write the person off as misinfortmed or seriously delusional. Even if everyone in my apartment complex believed that Santa existed, I still wouldn't make it my mission to convince them otherwise.

I can understand in some cases, where a religious group is forcing an Atheist to deny their beliefs or to force school prayer on their kids, but outside of that, I really don't see the point.

I have heard of websites where people are encouraged to blaspheme the Holy Spirit and deny god on video. What's the point?

So, as funny as it may seem, IMHO, for some Atheists, their atheism is a proseltyzing religion dedicated to pushing fundementalist Atheism on other people.

In my own opinion, I could care less. Atheists should be able to express their beliefs, and I don't deny that. But why make such a big deal about a non-existing High Power? You might as well argue over the Smurfs or how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
