i didn't consider you were one (it was detected by myself upon reading other entries)
yes you are correct (or am at least i am in agreeance with) that there are many who call themselves an atheist, yet they behave in such a religious manner
and surely even one such as myself may have some of these qalities that it is unaware of, but is the reason to look at itself even from a scientific viewpoint and approach (at least to the best of its abillities) in a coresponding manner. (in order to rupture with these behaviors)
that is the problem with these... they are taught from an early age and trained to think in a straight and narrow way and are unable to see beyond the objective, thus remaining subjective in an almost perfect reflection of the way that many of them criticise muslims and their ridiculous ammount of prayer (no offence to people of any faith that pray to imaginary beings) and that it is impossible to break them free from that...
well, not impossible, but very daunting... as it has witnessed with its very own eyes people of all faiths (including americanism) breaking free from their chains
