Atheistic Style

There is a style common to many atheists, including:

1. a refusal to recognize how democracy relied on Christianity, and how no atheistic culture has lasting democracy, (Besides of course, Sweden, England, Finland, Holland and many other prosperous nations)
2. a refusal to credit the role played by faith in great contributions of many people, such as Isaac Newton
3. a general disbelief of unseen and unquantifiable concepts, such as love, intrinsic beauty and fidelity.
4. a belief that atheists are somehow smarter than those having faith, downplaying contributions by Christians, (though to be balenced, 93% of scientists are atheists)
5. a focus on materialism, and a devotion to relativism in many forms
6. a generally pessimistic or depressed view of life, (though this if of course is relative. What person X may find depressing, person Y may find fulfilling)
7. among scientists, a belief in never-detected gravitons, dark matter, super strings and life in outer space, (though the beliefs are not professed with absolute certainty, there are large amounts of evidence to affirm to respective claims)
8. belief in the Nobel Prize, universities and newspapers as oracles of truth
9. overreliance on hearsay and a perception (often wrong) of what most people think, argument ad populum. Atheists believe that because billions of people are atheists, therefore atheism must have some merit, this is of course ridiculous.
10. an insistence on censoring prayer from the classroom and upholding the separation of Church and State.
