I'm asking because I saw one and it didn't tell me what I didn't already know.

Well, aren't you mummy's clever little girl!

What video was this, child?


EDIT:
I got bored with the video ... but do you really think that this is the ONLY argument against believing in your God?

Maybe you should try watching some scientific videos, or reading some real science books.

Who knows ... you might even learn something.

We don't "indoctrinate" people. Unlike believers, we are open-minded and let people believe what they want to believe. The only time we step in and say something, is when we are personally burdened by another religion, i.e. Christianity. Christianity loves to stick its nose into other people's business and into public view in order to gain more followers.
If you're looking for videos, go to www.youtube.com and type in atheism. There is actually one guy that is very articulate and educated on the subject. You should look up his videos. His name is Patcondell.

I'm on dial-up so I can't get YouTube. There are many evangelical Christians about so it's no surprise if there are a few evangelical atheists also. Personally I don't hold with evangelical atheism. It's too much like a religion for my own tastes.

Indoctrination is more a religious thing..

Atheists are encourages to think for themselves, question everything, do research and find their own answers.. Which goes against the concept of indoctrination...

We're just really not into indoctrination, sorry.

Believe whatever you want to, just keep it out of the schools and the laws.

We don't 'indoctrinate' people. That's god's work, not ours. Believe what you want.
If you want to read something that's pretty anti-god, try 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins, or, 'God is not Great' by Christopher Hitchins.
Both good reads. Very informative.

No because I do not wish to indoctrinate anyone. I want to be free to live as I will without harassment.

I can't speak for all atheists, but I don't think we care much for indoctrination.

I find videos to show some of my friends but I really don't care what they believe.

No, I'd rather just get right to it and indoctrinate you with some reason and common sense.
