Atheism is the belief that all religions are wrong, and that there is/are no god/s. And that the people who hold that belief want to proselytize is evidenced by the Dawkins, the Hitchens, the numerous atheist bloggers of this world - and indeed this post. Don't get me wrong - hold your belief/disbelief with pride, enjoy it, write about it, rant about it - it's all good, and you may educate someone who needs to hear your beliefs - BUT. The moment you try to diminish the rights of another human - including the right to make any kind of personal health care choice, based on their differing beliefs, then you are becoming as one with the fundies of this world, and on a VERY slippery slope. (IMO anyway.) And the only "atheist" states so far on record - the Soviet Union and PRC - have all brutally oppressed believers in deities/"unseen forces" at least as badly as any religious persecution you may care to name. I put it to you once again - it is not about any gods/angels/ogres/pixies/rationality or other memes we choose to believe (or disbelieve) in that matters - it is how we are willing to dehumanise, and disenfranchise, the other humans who disagree with us, that counts.
