"Why are there atheists here on R&S?!"...
Obviously if someone has been here long enough to discover that there are atheists on R&S, they have been here long enough to see their question asked two hundred and eighty three (I counted) times an hour. Right?! Or do they just come in here randomly from other sections and quickly hit "Ask" to blurt this question out, assuming there are atheists here?

These are people who pride themselves on ignorance. They would rather get up on a soapbox and look like a fool, than follow the Community Guidelines about overasking questions. They don't use spellcheck, (they usually ask "athiest" -- not even "athiests"). It's clear that they are asking for show, since they have no interest in following the rules of the site, or asking and intelligent question.

They are very simple people who take things on face value. They see the words Religion & Spirituality, and assume that this is for people who believe in such things.
They cannot comprehend any other purpose for this forum, because that would involve questioning. A thing they find incredibly hard to do. The questions they do ask, are childlike in their naivety.

I always wonder how they can tell exactly who is atheist, who is "playing" atheist, who is Buddhist, Hindu, etc.
Just because a person is non-christian doesn't make them an atheist.
Agnostics are not atheist, neither are Deists.

Don't know.
The law dictates that atheism is a religion...
SB 777
212.3. "Religion" includes all aspects of religious belief,
observance, and practice and includes agnosticism and atheism.

true indeed, but atheists also have exerted many questions to the tune of "why do Christian always ask the why we are here question" to be fair..................don't take it personal, shrug it off, laugh it off

It's r&s right, rationality and science. What? Religion and Spirituality? Damn, when will I learn to read before I type?

Because they don't get an audience on the street corner.
