Why Do Atheists Read the Religion Section? - I could write a whole post on this but I’ll be as succinct as possible. Most atheists are well read and educated especially on the subject of religion. It’s kind of our thing. This usually requires a continual self-education via reading not only atheist written materials, but theist written materials. I think it is even fair to say that some atheists honestly do challenge themselves and their previously held beliefs when they read religious materials and the religion section of HuffPo. And yes, some atheists are angry with theists and religion and lash out whenever and wherever they can. There is a lot to be angry over. However, what annoys me most about the religious attitudes towards atheism is expressed clearly in the two rabbis inherent self-congratulatory and dismissive attitudes toward atheists and atheism that most religious leaders express.
"Deep down within every person is a yearning for belief in God," Rabbi Yitzchak
“‘Professional atheism' is far more about attacking religion than it is about non-belief in
God.” Rabbi Boteach
Their statements and attitudes perfectly illustrate the theist superiority complex and what they either cannot or refuse to understand about the entire subject: they are wrong.
