This is why I get a little irritated by people who try to co-opt “atheism” by implying the only “correct” way to be an atheist is to adopt their particular agenda [(*cough*)Atheism Plus(*cough*)] on logically unrelated matters. That’s not to say that I don’t have positions on issues, but if you disagree with me, that doesn’t make you somehow “less of an atheist” or even an inconsistent atheist.

+1. It must be human nature to try and continually make a group more exclusive by honing it to align with one’s own views. You see this a lot and it is quite sad. It’s like people want things to be more special and more relevant to them rather than more inclusive. I guess it makes those people feel more important.
