"Is it really atheism that these types flock to though? I tend to have respect for atheists because most I meet just can't buy into the notion of a god or greater being."

Some atheists are respectable(most respectible atheists take on the name agnostic, though), but most of them just do it to be cool or something. I knew plenty of them when I was growing up. You're right about ripping on christianity. You have to realize, it doesn't really matter what religion or philosophy they happen to be playing the role of that week, they are still stupid people so their representation of it is going to be poor. I wouldn't even really call them atheists, they are more like victims of pop culture.

Plus being an atheist is the easiest thing in the world to be. Even being an agnostic takes more effort and more thought. Being a christian takes more effort and more thought, even when it comes to stupid people. Personally I'd say atheistic stupid people are the worst type of stupid people out there, just by who I've met. LETS LISTEN TO SLIPKNOT AND PARTY ABOUT HOW STUPID GOD IS. I seriously had friends like that, and they listened to deicide, the worst band in the world.
