From what I've seen in the perfectly statistically representative grouping of posters in whatever internet fora I visit: there are a large number of Sanders supporters who, quite properly in my view, despise Hillary Clinton.

So I literally just watched this the other day. I ran across that static picture with all the stars lined up and looked fora video...same thing here @mintbbb?

Well, those might seem to be good reasons, but in the end, atheists are supposed to be against religion. If it was really about religion, you would the criticism spread around a lot more than it is. I haven't seen many atheists taking vocal stands against Allah or Krishna, even though between the two they represent a 1/3 of the worlds population. This is especially true of the "new atheists", even though many of the things they rant about are epitomized in islamic and hindu countries. It just seems that todays atheism isn't so much anti-God(s) as it is anti-Christ. It's not focused on all gods, it's focused on the true God: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Regarding your question:
1. People who had a dramatic change in their life tend to be very vocal an opinionated about that. Why should that not also true of people who loose or gain religious beliefs?
2. For me, who has never believed in a god or gods, I tend to react to pressure that religious people exert on me and my life. I would not classify that as god "dealing with my heart".
3. Most people who are even able to frequent these fora are from western wealthy nations which, through god's almighty plan or certain socio-economic factors turned out to be predominantly christian.
Regarding your statement: I, from the safety of a country where supposed blasphemy is not met with harsh punishment by learned elders of a forgiving religion, do criticize all religions almost equally. Even I, given the christian background of my home country reserve most of my criticism for christianity because I encounter it most in my daily life.

Yeah, but we're talking about atheists, and you don't really see many atheists out there arguing against Allah or Krishna.

Yeah shiny, that is the reason. The same reason that non-Scientologists and ex-Sceintologists argue in Scientology fora, because Scientology has touched their hearts.
>> ^shinyblurry:
That's a point many Christians have wondered about; namely, why do atheists spend so much time on something they say holds no water? On the Christian forums I frequent, there are usually many atheists there asking questions and holding debates. The reason, I believe, is because God is dealing with their hearts. You may be ready to move on to another stage of life. I know that God has a plan for you, and so I am happy for you that have come to this place. God bless you.

The very first video I ever submitted to VideoSift was a discussion by Scott Ritter and Seymour Hersh primarily about the US posture towards Iran, taped on 10/26/06. It's still available on FORA.tv, and despite everything that happened since then, it's still worth watching.

yeah, we really need to separate the money from politics.
not just reversing citizens united, but making fundamental changes to the election system...
a reasonable taxpayer funded campaigns with limited duration would ultimately cost a lot less than what we're currently paying at the other end.

when we have separated money from politics, only then the meaningful policy changes are possible.
the way it is now, it's almost impossible to beat the lobbies on any issue.
