Obviously atheists and "New Atheists" share the same belief (their disbelief) but are not the same (see my house parallel).

You don't think a lack of faith and an opposition to faith are the same and neither do I. So what are we arguing about?

Why are they both called atheism? Dawkins is called an atheist, not an anti-theist while the latter is more correct.

You do not think this correctness is important while in real life it does. The most vocal determines the label & that's Dawkins.

You and many atheists do not care. But at the same thing don't really like the public image of atheism. It's one or the other.

I am not part of a tribe called 'atheism' - people can evaluate me on my own actions and values.

Atheist describes my position on the existence of god. Anti-theist, my attitude towards god-beliefs. Humanist, my values

And so on. Ppl are multifaceted. We share some facets and not others. You share atheism & humanism w me but not anti-theism

It is tribal to want to separate ppl into one primary identity & get one group to condemn another.

I prefer a gentler approach to Dawkins but can accept this difference. He's a sweetheart but if he wasn't, cld still accept
