"If you are atheist you fall into these demographies:
1. Has NO concept of weirdo and none-weirdo
This is too incoherent to respond to. Clearly, in America, atheism is abnormal. However, in many other places, theism is abnormal. So what is "weirdo" depends on where you live. Also, whether or not something is "weirdo" has no bearing on whether it is true or not. The concept that the world was round was pretty "weirdo" in Copernicus' day...
2. Filled with pride and think you[']r[e] to[o] smart to have faith
Yes, actually.
3. Thinks scientific evidence is the ULTIMATE evidence and wont think on any other grounds
No, not quite. I tend to delve into philosophical thinking quite a bit, and from the perspective of philosophy there are several legitimate criticisms of science. Pragmatically speaking, though, of course I side with science, because it has practical benefits. Besides, the implication that science is dogmatic is nonsense -- one of the tenets of the scientific method is that when you're proven wrong, you fix your theory or throw it out and search for a new one. That's the farthest thing from unthinking dogma you could possibly come up with.
4. Thinks life is ALL about sex
Nope. But I don't beat myself up over sexual desire, either.
5. More likely to become a criminal as you believe there is no supreme being that will punish you for your sins no matter what.
Patently false. Empirically, I've found that atheists tend to stick to their personal ethical codes much better than theists, because the atheists have reasonable codes and know why they believe in them. Theists, on the other hand, are typically the opposite.
6. More likely to be a coward as you don[']t think your soul will be saved if you have been faithful enough.
The average Christian is likely to be a coward, thanks to their subservience training; the extraordinary Christian is likely to be a fool because they are too eager to be a martyr. Atheists, on the other hand, are entirely reasonable. We know that this life is all we get, so when we choose to sacrifice it in the name of some other person or some other cause, that sacrifice is far more worthy, because it is truly a sacrifice for the sake of the cause or the person.
7. stupid
Right, and that's why intelligence and higher education correlate with atheism, and have a reverse correlation to theism...
8. Likely to go to hell
Except hell doesn't exist.
9. All of the above"
Wow, this kid can't even come up with ten whole reasons why atheists suck. Even I could do better than that, and I AM an atheist...
