Evangelical Atheism?

Question

I'm sure there are many Christians who will try to suggest that The media, or the news, or the educational systems are already evangelical atheists or skeptics, but I'm talking about a unified force.

An atheist machine that takes all the scattered evidences that disprove Christianity and compiles them into a kind of scripture that we can use to fight delusion and ignorance!

If anyone knows of any good atheist organizations, please let me know: just post the URL or something.

Atheist's, Agnostics, Universalists, Skeptics!! UNITE!!

Answer 1

Hallelujah!
Where do I donate?

Answer 2

There are TONS of them!

Do a google search on Center for Inquiry or Richard Dawkins. There is also a great radio station that features a show called "The Infidel Guy." HE IS GREAT! Do a search on it on Youtube. My friend sends me his things periodically but I don't know the web address.

Atheists, Agnostics, Universalists, Skeptics and Humanists are Uniting to fight superstition and needless killing around the world.

I have my network of friends but live too far from any organized group but most skeptics are individualists and don't go to meetings and such even if we could. As a group, we're not really in to "group think", mass hysteria or much enjoy other people telling us what to do and think.

We're not really much into telling other people what to do or think either but underrstand the need for other people with like minds to reflect and consider ideas with. People who understand your position.

Answer 3

This seems like a bad idea to me. "Evangelical atheism" makes atheism seem like a religion, and thus on "equal footing" with religion. If you really want to combat religious dogma, what you want is to improve science education, not turn atheism into a religion-like organization. Besides, the religious are much more likely to be open to, and thus more likely to be convinced by, arguments that are framed as being scientific, rather than framed as being "atheistic". Many religious people are simply closed off to anyone who admits to being an atheist, and ignore the actual strength of their arguments. The best way to get people to listen is to simply present the facts in a reasoned, humble, and polite manner--be insistent, but not dogmatic.

Unify under the banner of science, not atheism; it's not only a more useful mechanism for promoting your own views, but it's also a more meaningful one, as "atheism" itself has no more significance than disbelief in any other religious or supernatural view, like "aleprechaunism" or "areincarnationism". There are already some good organizations for the general skeptical, naturalistic worldview; we don't need some sort of "atheist religion" to undermine actual atheist arguments and validate strawmen like "atheism is just based on faith too" or "atheism is just a religion too". Here are examples of organizations like the one you're looking for:

The Brights - http://www.the-brights.net/
Center for Inquiry - http://www.centerforinquiry.net/
Council for Secular Humanism - http://www.secularhumanism.org/
Rationalist International - http://www.rationalistinternational.net/

Answer 4

Why is this necessary? I could care less about trying to convert people to one particular point of view, I could care less what people do or do not believe as long as they are happy and aren't infringing upon the rights of others. Trying to form some organization to convert people to a specific viewpoint embodies everything that is bad about religion.

Answer 5

No such thing as an evangelical atheist.

Answer 6

you criticize christians for being evangelical, but what you're really saying is that evangelism is okay as long as the beliefs being forced on others are your own. it ain't every day you find a gem of hypocrisy as big as this one.

Answer 7

That is against every moral that most non-Christians share. We hate it when they preach, why would we.
