i think ive posted this here before, but it didn't get love http://objectiveministries.org/kidz/ it is a truly awesome site. at the very least scroll down to the fourth picture entitled 'spiritual safety tip'. you can make mcgruff the atheist goat say more things by clicking him.
and yes, the site is parody, but i bet about 99.9% of christians who visit it dont think so at first. hell at first i thought it was real because c'mon its just so real to the hardcore christian cults
also it makes sense that atheists have a better understanding of religious thought than religionists have of atheistic thought. atheism is founded in science, whereas religion is founded in, well, religion. science demands and provokes more logical thought than religion. also, most religions teach bias. as well as almost nobody ever starts out as being aware that they're atheist because we are taught religion. so atheists are ex-religionists, whereas religionists have been for all their life or converted from a pseudo-agnostic state. i hate the word agnostic too. being able to be 'agnostic' makes people feel like they have their own deserved niche in the philosophical world and that they're something other than not paying attention, not caring, or wishy washy.
if somebody is truly unsure and searching then they are truly agnostic, but most who espouse agnosticism aren't unsure and aren't searching and are simply lazy and wanna feel smart.
oh and fyi, im using the word agnostic in its modern colloquial usage, not its true definition. by its true definition many of us atheists are actually agnostic, we can even be both because they're very similar.
