Not sure what you are point at but you might be thinking of anti-theism. Atheist really just laugh at all religious silliness whereas anti-theists directly try and target one or all big religions with aggressive stances.
Not really. Whenever you read about atheism or see them express themselves it has something to do with Christianity?

You are either lying or been completely oblivious to the Islam threads. Which I doubt.

Why are Athesits so obsessed with Christianity?

Personally, I could not care less about religion in general. But deeply religious folk act like Vegans on a new diet, everyone in a 10m radius has to be intimately aware that they are indeed Vegan, Christian or some other "faith".

Again, much respect to you, for believing what you do, but not everyone shares your viewpoints on the Guy in the sky.

I heard they feed them goat milk in nursery, that is why you pay so much, is this true?

You bring your own milk.

But the nursery actually isn’t all that more expensive that anything else from infinitely more questionable operations around the same area that offer much less security and peace of mind.

I am just jesting. I like goats milk and it is hard to come by, also expensive. If i see what parents pay for preschool fees I would hope they feed my child goats milk. :laugh:

Thats just what you read or the media that is clueless. Im a full on atheist and I dont go out of my way to step on any silly religious group.

You might have atheists who identify with anti-theistic propositions but atheist in itself does not mean anti-christian as you imply.

I didn't say Atheists means anti-christian. Just that they are obsessed with Christianity.

I can understand a Christian being upset about this. Myself. I would object purely on the grounds that the works are in poor taste and the message is not great. I would not condone it. I mean what's the message? Woo! Look at me. I'm so evil. Fear me... I saw it many times growing up in a Christian School, in a Christian community, and a Christian upbringing. Cheap thrills. Everybody gets upset and they love it. i.e. Attention seeking idiots.

Personally I feel schools should not be religious institutions, nor host any kind of religious content. At least that's the kind of place where I would send any children of mine. To study. Each to their own though.

As an atheist by choice, I can honestly say that when religion comes up in conversation (it's pretty rare), it's more a discussion of attributes and lessons, rather than the actual people that prescribe to that way of thought.

I approach it as a fascinating topic of discussion, the "truths" humans tell themselves and eachother. And if a big Zeus like deity is going to help you be a functioning member of society, then by all means.
