Not posted on spirituality and religion before, made a comment on a post a few days ago and got some very unpleasant , negative comments from atheists ranting and raving about all sorts!

So all comments based in magical thinking are automatically pleasant and positive?
The word “atheist” is not a label; it is merely a description. Since I don’t have a belief in a god, I am by default described as an atheist. If there is evidence for a hypothesis, then I will gladly look at the data. If the claim itself is illogical, however, or if it is based on something other than honest investigation, it can be dismissed as wishful thinking, misunderstanding or a lie. Theists do not have a god: they have a belief. Atheism is the lack of theism, the lack of belief in god(s). I am an atheist because there is no reason to believe.
