IMHO being raised by political Atheists is child abuse.
Atheism does not have an inherent political philosophy. The political leanings of individual atheists fall all across the political spectrum from hard core libertarian to ultra conservative to marxist leftwingers to centrist democrats.
You can't pidgeonhole someone into a certain political niche just because they don't hold a belief in a god or gods.
You are taught cynicism is the natural state of mind for people
There are a couple of problems with your basic premise. First, you confuse skeptisism with cynisism. Secondly, you assume that atheism is something other than the simple lack of belief in any god or gods.... It is not. It is a descriptor for someone who lacks a belief in any deity and nothing more.
and attacking anyone’s and everyone’s faith is a proper form of discourse.
So how is it that the near totality of atheist manage to befriend, interact with, and even marry believers without hattacking anyones faith. Both I, and nearly every single atheist I know couldn't care less what you, or anyone else believes.
To be raised in hate and intolerance must be the worst of all worlds...
And thats they way I have raised my children. Can you say the same when it comes to issues such as gays, gay marriage, muslims, atheists, liberals, immigrants, minorities, or democrats? Somehow I doubt it.
You speak in opposition of hate and intolerance in the very same post you not only infer, but outright claim that my lack of belief in your "god" and my views on politics make me guilty of child abuse, and then continue your attempt to demonize both myself and others by makes claims that you likely already know to be untrue. Or is it that hate and intolerance are just fine if it's something you disagree with?
