    People who capitalize the word “atheist” and make it their entire identity always seem to be massive islamaphobes. When Richard Dawkins said he was a “Cultural Christian” I threw up a little in my mouth.

      Yeah. A hard core atheist is no different than a tankie, evangelical, angry vegan, sovereign citizen or PETA activist. There are people who never develop an identity and take on an external locus instead.

          I’ve never heard anyone call themselves that before. I probably should have qualified it with something instead of leaving it as a generalization.
