Line 11:
** On that note, another trait atheists might have, albeit one that's so rarely portrayed in fiction it is [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement|arguably more common in real-life]] is a [[Double Standard]] where the atheist singles out a specific religion over a teaching or action they disapprove of while ignoring identical ones from other religions.
* Atheists are all materialists and probably [[Machine Worship|technophiles]]/[[Transhuman|transhumanists]]/[[First Church of Mecha|roboticists]] as well.
* Atheists are depressed, lonely, antisocial and often [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]s.
* Atheists attack or belittle anyone who's religious or believes in any god.
* Atheists are straight-out evil, having apparently rejected all concept of right and wrong when they rejected religion. [[Chick Tracts]] love these, too. Compare and contrast [[Faith Heel Turn]]. The notion of immoral atheists goes back a long way. Most notably, Jean Jacques Rousseau, who (very progressively) proposed religious tolerance, suggested that atheists should be refused political rights due to their inherent un-trustworthiness.
* Atheists have no moral code (and are uncharitable, unkind, and have no ethical boundaries).
* Atheists are smugly convinced of their own intellectual superiority and usually blinded to the "truth" by their own elitist pretensions and, usually, are [[Not So Different]] from their religious opponents, including (or especially) the fanatical ones).
** For that matter, atheists think believers in the predominant local religion are "religious opponents".
