Ya right, atheists gather in atheists church and plan on his to kill Christians... shouldn't we be talking about how to stop atheists from slaugtheing everyone?
No, they plan on how to campaign against christianity, how to mock, ridicule and dehimanize christians. They also petition against religious arts and statues etc

When they eventually get into power, the devil manifests himself fully in their lives.

3. Rosalind Franklin. Rosalind Franklin's story is also a bit sad. A researcher in biophysics, her work was crucial in Watson and Crick's discovery of the DNA double helix structure. In fact, according to Francis Crick, her data was "the data we actually used" to formulate their hypothesis about the structure of DNA. But her data was obtained under less than ideal circumstances, by Watson and Crick without her knowledge, and she died without ever being properly credited for the work she did. But she's an inspiration as well. I mean... DNA. Come on. It's one of the most fundamental ways we have of understanding ourselves and our place in the world. She made understanding it possible. And she did this at a time when it was exceedingly difficult for women to even get into science, much less do groundbreaking, earth-shaking, brain-rearranging work in it. And yes. Big old non-believer. From one of her letters: "I agree that faith is essential to success in life ... but I do not accept your definition of faith, i.e. belief in life after death. In my view, all that is necessary for faith is the belief that by doing our best we shall come nearer to success and that success in our aims (the improvement of the lot of mankind, present and future) is worth attaining ... I maintain that faith in this world is perfectly possible without faith in another world."

4) Neil deGrasse Tyson. I was a little reluctant to include Tyson in this list. Tyson doesn't call himself an atheist, he calls himself an agnostic, since he associates the word "atheist" with "activist atheist," and generally resists being identified with the atheist movement or any other "ism." (For the record: I think his definition of atheism is inaccurate and overly narrow.) But this isn't a list of inspiring atheist scientists. It's a list of inspiring non-believing scientists. Tyson is definitely a non-believer. In fact, his agnosticism, as he describes it, is pretty much indistinguishable from most atheists' atheism. And he's definitely inspiring. The fact that he's director of the Hayden Planetarium -- and that this is among the least well-known of his accomplishments -- is a good sign of just how awesome he is. He may be the best science communicator of our generation. He is extraordinary at explaining science to non-scientists, in a way that isn't patronizing or dumbing-down. He makes science seem exciting, fun, important, moving, joyful. All of which it is. And he communicates this joy to millions.

5) Alfred Kinsey. In the face of vehement hostility and vilification -- including a congressional investigation that resulted in loss of funding for his research -- biologist Alfred Kinsey dedicated his life to a scientific, evidence-based understanding of human sexuality. With its frank discussion of the realities and prevalence of homosexuality, bisexuality, premarital sex, extramarital sex, masturbation and more, his research radically changed the way we understand and experience our sex lives. And it both broke the ground and laid the groundwork for every scientific study of human sexuality since. Kinsey's passionate pursuit of truth, even when it defied convention; his passionate commitment to the advancement of knowledge that could demolish toxic misinformation about sex; his passionate devotion to the promotion of human happiness in some of the most pragmatic, down-to-earth ways imaginable... this can inspire us all.
but you have time sha.. ask them the meaning of atheism they don't know it.

lmao. They avoided it like a plague grin

Lol It's just because of shame. The truth is that religion has contributed so much to mankind. Christianity for example improved hospitals in the Middle Ages, most of the world's greatest universities were started for Christian purposes, the capitalist system used round the world can be linked to a Christian source, Christianity was used to civilise many barbarian and primitive ancient cultures etc etc etc etc.

Atheism has contributed...?

You will see some pained people desperately mention people like Bill Gates etc..ignore them.. most of the atheists who have actually done something were not motivated by atheism itself.

lol emphasis on "What I think I do" and "What I actually do" cheesy

You know NOTHING . Read up "Christian atheism" - another impaired mental state some atheists subscribe to . Those are Christian atheists - they reject the divinity of Christ but accept his teachings . So they go to "church" to learn about Christ . They believe fellowship improves unity and prayers have psychological benefits .

I believe most Christian atheists are denizens of psychiatric hospitals

I don't think I should be considered sober now. I mean, trying to debunk the one thing you claim to be free from is like resenting a "so-called tyrant" even after gaining freedom from him.
