    An atheist doesn’t simply disbelieve in the gods, they believe other people should also disbelieve in the gods. It’s a political stance as much as a belief. If someone doesn’t really care about religion, they’re not really an atheist imo - it requires that extra step.

      Oh, wow, Evangelical atheism. Perhaps the worst form of atheism. Kind of like prescriptive nihilism.
