I understand why you think that, but I think it’s fair to say most atheists aren’t atheist to feel superior. I think many western atheists use atheism to mask their racism though.
Oh yeah, I meant specifically the new atheist movement, which largely morphed into the anti-feminism/anti-sjw stuff around gamergate, most atheists aren’t like that.
This is just a No True Scotsman thing you’re doing. Atheism is a good thing and that “movement” helped a lot of people, particularly in America to overcome the extreme religious oppression that exists in that place.
This isn’t like that at all though? I have met a lot of atheists who are atheists because it makes them feel superior to others, not just due to a lack of faith. I’m not claiming they aren’t “real atheists” or whatever. Just that they’re atheists and smug assholes at the same time. The two are not mutually exclusive at all.
