Same here. I am also delighted to have my atheism explained to me by strangers.

YOU started this. Just delete your uninformed post and all of the criticisms will cease.

Atheism is the lack of belief in any deities. Nothing more, nothing less. No one has been explaining that to you, simply correcting your misconceptions about religions you don't belong to.

And also a few corrections about history, I guess.

That’s not what is happening in this thread.

I don't know who's been doing that, but as an atheist, I'm happy to join in. Look up "Christian Atheism" and how it differs from other atheistic philosophies/traditions. Ex-Christians often reject Christianity and then assume all religions are just funny shaped versions of Christianity.

It's hard to blame them, because most of them grow up in societies where Christian hegemony intentionally tries to flatten and trivialize the differences between Christianity and other religions, *especially* Judaism. But it's still frustrating when they take up all the air in the conversation.

and this chick just can’t stop explaining. she’s like the energizer bunny, except the bunny makes sense.
