You are entitled, of course, to your opinion about that.

I am entitled to my contrary opinion.

Your original post said that "Atheism has ... no political motives." (As to your plaint that "Atheism is a person? Atheism has a MOTIVE?," look in the mirror.)

The list of atheists who had political motives based on promoting atheism is long and, IMO, not always distinguished. Just in this century they range from Stalin (hardly a non political figure, I think even you will agree) to Madeline Murray O'Hair, who unabashedly followed a political agenda.

When you deny that atheism has any political motives, I will have the kindness not to call you a moron, merely ignorant.
