I sure as hell don't care. I look at it this way. The human race is just another species of animal that evolved to live on Earth, and like all other species of animals, we will eventually go extinct. In the long run, nothing any of us ever does will ever mean anything, so I say what the hell. If the fundamentalists of the world want to destroy everything in the name of what ever God it is they worship, I say let them. In fact, why not embrace them. It will be one hell of a fire works show.

Well I do care about the rest of the world, and being human myself I have a vested interest in not wanting the human race to go extinct, and also in not wanting a few deranged people to ruin everything for everyone else. In the long run nothing any of us does will ever mean anything, true, but the contributions we made as individuals will still affect humanity and the rest of the world in general. I don't like your question much. You sound like a fundamentalist's caricature of an atheist.

the starting up and the end of the universe are literally not important... the right here and now must be what concerns because it extremely is all that we've. at the same time as human beings are so self-in touch that each and each and each person they could see is their own concept and fee structures that they are making the lives of non-believers depressing... or notwithstanding treating this international as a unclean truck stop on the line to heaven, it really is the responsibly for those with different concept's to face up for themselves and something of the planet.

I don't mind them having their own ideas, and I do like to study other religions and belief systems. It's interesting, though I won't try to convert anyone. The only time I have a problem is when a religious person tries to pass a law that will force me to live by their beliefs.

I care because religion likes to get into politics, and I don't want some else's belief system to be the basis of laws. I like buying liqueur on Sunday.
Tell me if you really wouldn't care if 3 billion people believed that killing you and those that you love is what their almighty deity wanted.

We all live on this planet and I'd like to live free from unnecessary pain and restriction. I want my son to have that option too. The only way that will accomplished is for people to be mentally healthy. That seems to be impossible at times. Religion is antithetical to mental health.

Well, if this is the only life we get, why on earth wouldn't you care that fundies want to make the rest of us miserable? Why let some bible-thumping nut job dictate how I should live my life? I definitely care about my happiness and fundies are not part of that equation.

Atheist just means not theists but these people can be of all varieties . Some altruistic some not .. there are some records to suggest more input into charities sometimes than that of religious people but just cause one is knowledgeable enough to be atheistic doesn't mean they will surrender their individuality.

Ever hear the phrase, "You can dish it out, but you can't take it"? Christian fundamentalists have been on the attack for years now, trying to deny rights to homosexuals, trying to outlaw abortions, trying to keep women from obtaining equal rights, and trying to impose their own morals - many of them non-biblical - on the rest of society. Non-Fundamentalists are finally fighting back by speaking out against their campaigns, their media onslaughts, and their mistaken notions of truth, and the Fundamentalists don't like it very much. They can dish it out, but they can't take it. So when people of good conscience stand up for their rights, Fundamentalists cry "foul play".

unfortunately if we do go extinct it will be because of not just the fundamentalist but all christians... there is information in nature we are meant to understand and catholic/christian religions hold us back... in fact the practice of these religions damage nature and evolution... that is why nature would turn on us...
