@SamHarrisOrg - We need to try and get away from identifying ourselves as atheists. I think it gives religions too much credit. -
It depends on personal preference. Some may miss the experience of a faith community, even if they lack faith

@SamHarrisOrg Hitch always said atheists don't need to meet up and keep reaffirming what they believe. We just don't need to.. -
It may be less for affirmation than community. It's not my preference, but I won't begrudge others for it
@_Four_Horsemen@SamHarrisOrg -
@MattyPGood
@SamHarrisOrg me neither but it isn't necessary. We don't need to keep reassuring ourselves weekly like the faithheads

@SamHarrisOrg Calling it a "theology" is a touch mad -
Also sounds like a subtle shifting of the burden of proof. Atheist theology would force us to define "God".

No, yuck! Wanted: for crimes against good taste, perhaps. I am an atheist, but atheism is most certainly not my IDENTITY.
@SamHarrisOrg -
I'll IDENTIFY with scientists and great thinkers, thanks. Simply not believing in gods is not nearly enough.

@SamHarrisOrg Isn't this just creating a proxy-tribe? Just like a religious creed? Don't all 'isms' lead to tribalism? -
@SexyIsntSexist@SamHarrisOrg Perhaps. I presume Sam was being positive about the need for 'spirituality'. -
@brendonbrewer@SamHarrisOrg Spirituality is in human nature. The best minds need to find a middle ground beween spirituality & religion - 2 more replies

@SamHarrisOrg I don't feel a need to gather and reaffirm or celebrate my lack of belief, with anyone, though. Hitch may have said the same.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
