Help me make a list of misconceptions about atheism!

Post by Red »

I'm making a list of common misconceptions about atheism! I was kinda inspired after TheVeganAtheist after he made the "top reasons it sucks to be an athiest". I'll also make one for Veganism, so yea. anyways, let's get down to buisness. I'll make a short list, and maybe yo can include some too! Alright here we go:

1. Atheists don't have morals!
2. You don't believe in God because you want to sin!
3. The burden of proof lies on YOU! or Atheism is the belief that no god exists!
4. Atheism is TREESON!

Continue the list please! :))))))))

5: Atheists HATE GOD
6: Atheist's will only attack and persecute Christian's.
7: Atheist's believe we came from a ape (which is untrue, atheism is nothing more than the non-belief in a God or supernatural, not a moral code of evolution)
I would think of more later

8. Atheism is lack of a religion (I've even heard well-known atheists say this).
9. The terms "atheist" and "agnostic" are mutually exclusive.
