Are you a theist who would like atheists to be less hostile?
Or are you an agnostic who would like atheists to be less hostile?
Or are you an atheist who would like both 'sides' to be less hostile to each other?[/quote]
I am a Theist who would like Atheists and Theists (Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists - l think that covers most folk) to be less hostile to each other.
Atheists can be pretty disgusting in their attacks, due to political incorrectness, which is basically an ethics vacuum if you ask me.
As for Theists, well, we have mainly Christians (not much to say, they are basically all secularised), Jews (mostly secularised but a loud extreme bunny boiling minority kick up a daily shitstorm in places like Israel, think of the Kahane movement, Yigal Amir, and Price Tag), Muslims (Sunnis are a fallen people, main activities today are making babies and scaring old ladies in Western nations with their insane fashion sense, not really getting it that they shouldn't live in a "Kafir" country if they're so religious, or if they do they could at least dress like a sane person) (Shias are up to something with Russkies and China where all your stuff comes from, not good) (and ofc both sects have a terrorist minority that thrives on self-pity, using the exact same cliches as militant Atheists, KKK, Jewish Haredi extremists, etc.), Hindus are mostly harmless too (but an extreme minority would literally bash your skull in in front of your family, because you ate a beef burger. Which is animal cruelty.).
So, l personally would appeal to the moderates in each group and say: the extremists are all basically the same, so why don't the moderates realise their own commonalities - and this is my inclusive secularism.
(It's feels relevant today, what with the impending rise of the Planet of the Apes (Donald Trump's presidential bid), the refugee crises creating a religious clash, the crisis itself being caused by a religious clash, and a new Cold War looming.)
