no

what?

Worshipping the sun makes more sense than the crap the Bible/Quran says.

I'm functionally an agnostic atheist but I don't care to use any labels because I absolutely do not care enough to even think about it

why differentiate

either you believe in god or you dont

He was. Then others startied making the same kind of content without the unnecesarry edge and he veered off into anti-feminist territory.

Well, a true Atheist don't care about religion very much and an Internet Atheist cares way too much against religion.

Also,

https://historyforatheists.com is a pretty good/fun site that aims to debunk many of the myths pushed by anti-theist "new atheists". The author is a medievalist who is himself an atheist/skeptic but not one of those types

What kind of myths?

A regular Atheist is don't believe in any gods or deities. An Internet Atheist is militantly against any and all religions in general. That's prolly the biggest difference.

Because they don't consider themselves an asshole and honestly people need to be specifically labeled to know what kind of person they are so they came take the shame.

It doesnt matter what they consider themselves. You dont need to invent new terms when we have existing words that are applicable

That actually sounds interesting as all butts.

I didn't invent the term. I wish I did.

Oh I guess Im an internet atheist then

I actively have issues with religion. Pretty much anti-religion although I generally mind my business. In person idc about your religion so long as it doesnt effect me or other peoples personal liberties.

Do Internet Atheists not believe in the internet?

i doubt you wish you did, and Ive never heard anyone say it except you

I don't believe in god, but I believe there are secrets to geometry and design by nature that create forces for good and evil, or maybe they don't even ascribe to petty morals.

"new atheists" is a more commonly used term but i've absolutely seen "internet atheists" used plenty

Internet atheists get on my nerves

Oh believe me I wish I did come up with the label for these kind of people and just because you've never heard it before doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Shall I give you some examples of the term being used?

I suppose that makes me agnostic?

Im not naive enough to believe I know about everything in our universe. I am open to the possibility of things existing out there that we might have trouble comprehending, but that doesnt make those things divine or gods.

Theres already a label. The label is asshole. We dont need another label.

That's a good site

"I've never heard the term before so therefore it can't be real".

What kind of farm of narcissistic behavior is this?

Okay thanks for your suggestion.

When its a brand new term (completely unnecessary as well) used by almost nobody, you shouldnt be surprised that almost nobodies heard it before.

Veggeta tell rika to stop blocking me, I never harassed him and I won't start now

Again, it's not a brand new term and again just because YOU haven't seen anyone used doesn't mean nobody have used it or that it isn't a popular term.

LOL.

Yeah, Internet Atheist isn't a new term by any stretch of the imagination.

Its not in common usage by any stretch

Ok ok ok your world view is everyone's world view.

"world view"
