Not Believing in God, but Not Liking the Atheist Label

That, to me, is how I interpret the message within the image above. Whilst it's technically true that atheism is nothing more than a denial of God, in real life it always entails much more than just this simple dictionary definition of the term. Is it nothing more than a mere coincidence that most atheists (note: [b]most[/b], not all) also support far-Left social causes like feminism and abortion? Is it merely coincidental that they also tend to believe our reality has no ultimate meaning, and that morality is relative and subjective?

No, it is not. Atheism is, as many argue, the default position. It is belief in the invisible which does not come naturally, and must be taught. However, I suppose one cannot expect an accurate definition from one who unironically uses phrases such as

@CorvusBlackthorne I don't know how to quote the way you do here, so I'll just type it out.
"It is belief in the invisible, which does not come naturally", you say.
I don't believe this, if only because there are people (I've actually met them in real life, not just online) who say that it's perfectly natural to have a sense of the supernatural, and not believing there can be any more to reality than just what we can observe is strange. That's just the way they are. I, unfortunately, am not like this, and I've often wondered why.
And yes, feminism as it currently is and not how it was in the past, has well and truly gone down the toilet. Abortion is murder.

Yet many humans teach their children that their claims of having friends their parents cannot see are mere hallucinations, and so many children with heightened senses learn to suppress their perception until they lose it.

You would prefer women to be barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen, then?

You do not wish to debate this with me.

Were it not for those feminists you despise, they would be.

Why do you lot always assume that feminism is about taking away that choice? Who is it that has convinced you that the feminist movement is not about giving women the freedom to choose whether or not to remain at home? Someone lied to you, and I want to know whom.
