I don't care for the idea of an Atheist Mafia. One of the things I hate about religion and patriotism is the inherent governing of though. Loosely joined atheists is much better because, it insures to some degree, the freedom of thought.
What do you think?

OK. I should have had an inkling. Sorry I'm so dull headed sometimes.
My name is Bruno and I am not smarter than a fifth grader, nor, unfortunately, richer.

I see. AM basically is a knockoff off Christianity brought on by the total arrogance of the religious right. As a potential member of the non-governed religious nots can we look toward the government for religious privilege and funding.
I still don't like Guinness.

I think you make a valid point, but I also understand that sometimes you need some group support. Saftey in numbers, you know, that sort of thing. Especially in here on Sundays. It's why I have to disappear for a few days, all the fundies start teaming up on you, and man, they're like rabid wolverines!!! Except they're not as cute. That's why I keep with a very small clique of 'people.' That way I am free to have all the freedom of thought I want :o)

I had wondered what the AM stood for. Now I know. As an atheist, I find it amusing and nothing to worry my pretty head about. I agree that loosely joined atheists insure freedom of thought, but I get the joke.

That very reasoning is why it's impossible to organize Pagans. None of us trust any kind of hierarchy or organizational structure. Every time anyone has tried to create a real alliance of Pagans, it starts a Witch War.

It was begging to be born, strength in numbers. We are loosely joined. We back each other in needed times of being stalked and so on. It's just a name for what already exists.

It was a fundie who coined the term, as an accusation. The AM is just a response to her insinuations.

No one is trying to govern your thought. It is just a fun thing. To poke a little fun at those who made up the term. Why take it so seriously?

It depends on how up you are in the heirarchy. As Don of London and the Home Counties, I have all the freedom I want.

Thank you for your question. I am finally enlightened as to what AM stands for. Although why any group finds it necessary to point out their difference is beyond me.
