*'''Don't delete''' - but don't just keep either. This phrase is in use, and disparagingly describes certain forms of [[Strong atheism]]. Whether it is an accurate description is of course POV, but we should record the use, not the accuracy. I'd suggest either a merge to [[Fundamentalism]] (and let the fact that the term has been used of atheists be noted), or a simple redirect to [[Strong atheism]]. --[[User:Doc glasgow|Doc]] [[User talk:Doc glasgow|<small><sup>ask?</sup></small>]] 20:08, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' This article is fundamentally POV, which violates [[WP:NPOV]]. Ascribing hatred as a characteristic of a version of Atheism demonstrates more about the article's creator than about the nominative subject of said article. If Atheism derrives from an emotional reaction of a theistic stance then this should be demonstrated with the appropriate references and citations. As it happens, Atheism arises from reasoning about both physical and metaphysical concepts, both of which are amply demonstrated in Richard Dawkins' work, contrary to the POV expressed by the article's creator.

:And your user-page, full of the huffing and puffing and delusions of grandeur one would expect from an Atheist (assumed to be more creative - for example), is a typical example of the Atheistic arrogance from which you suffer, it's ok for you to generalize, but God forbid when a Christian does it, or any Theist for that matter. Atheism must be defeated head on, I would be glad to meet you in battle and slay you myself, you are nothing but filth to me, believe me, you are like dirt to me, you must be wiped out with aggression.

I would say this is a neologism. It gets 354 unique Google hits although a significant proportion of those argue that it is a contradiction in terms. The page as it stands reads as a POV criticism of Atheism and I suspect it would always do so. I nearly speedied this under CSD A6 but given that it makes a serious case thought it should be brought here. David | Talk 19:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Atheists tend to have their own POV slant on every article on Wiki, its time someone gave the fuckers like Carlin a taste of their own medicine, if they want to generalize, then they will get it right back at them tenfold. The preceding unsigned comment was added by GreekWarrior (talk • contribs) .
  • Delete. Especially after researching the article's creator (User:GreekWarrior) edit history and other comments here, I suspect this article is complete bollocks. Peyna 20:03, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I wouldn't say it's a neologism or complete bollocks; anti-atheists (such as our unsigned friend above) use it to describe particularly strident pro-atheist activists. While the phrase itself is semi-notable, in the respect that people actually use it, the behavior it describes is not. Powers 20:05, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And your user-page, full of the huffing and puffing and delusions of grandeur one would expect from an Atheist (assumed to be more creative - for example), is a typical example of the Atheistic arrogance from which you suffer, it's ok for you to generalize, but God forbid when a Christian does it, or any Theist for that matter. Atheism must be defeated head on, I would be glad to meet you in battle and slay you myself, you are nothing but filth to me, believe me, you are like dirt to me, you must be wiped out with aggression.
