thoughts on mainstream atheism (not prompted by anything, just shower thoughts) 

I feel like a lot of atheists out there think that all religion is bad because the only religion they've been exposed to is mainstream christianity (and maybe some sort of islamophobic caricature of islam), and after realizing how bad mainstream christianity is (and presumably not looking too deep into what islam is) they extrapolate that to all religions and forms of spirituality

there's also an element of black-and-white thinking there too, of course

@Felthry absolutely.

One particular example I find funny is when smug atheists are all "there's already thousands of gods you don't believe in! You don't think Zeus and Thor and Ra exist right? What's one less?"

And I'm like, actually, I do think all gods are real.
