I've never bothered to try and classify athiests, I still fail to see the usefulness. I would say the article is more concerned with classifying the type of people who lable themselves athiest.

Out of interest, does anyone know a self-confessed:
  • mad at god "the kind of person who, due to some unfortunate personal tragedy or thwarted desires, has declared god incompetent, insane, or dead."

Rachel's aunt and uncle on her mother's side

but then i don't really classify them as atheists...they have a relationship w/ G-d, that relationship is just based on a hatred of Him

Whats more fascinating is why people feel the need to categorise everything - to put everything in boxes so to speak. Yet at the same time we value things like individuality, uniqueness and hate to be steriotyped. We're mad.

I have not thought about it either. But, I would say that I would classify nihilism under philosophy along with secular humanism, objectivist (ayn rand), hedonism (including lavey satanism), utilitarianism and naturalists. I see it more of a secular philosophy as opposed to a reason.

I think it would be more accurate to amend "mad at God" to "mad at religion" . I meet a lot of atheists who feel they were lied to by a religious group but I don't think one could believe there is a God and still be an atheists even if they were mad at them.

I have never heard of emotional philosophy. I would need clarification on that concept. Doesn't sound right on the surface though. philosophy asserts premises to draw conclusions. Not really the work of ones feelings as opposed to ones cognative thoughts.

If "reared" is the only reason they are atheists than I would say that overall that is pretty weak reasoning on the same grounds as theists who choose a faith based on rearing. I realize you either believe or you don't but I imagine even a "rear" atheists at some time or another made a deduction as to why they don't percieve there to be a supernatural power in the universe. In the USA at least, it would be next to impossible to not believe in God and not be challanged on it at some point prompting introsepction into the matter.

Not that that reason is the whole of my decision to be an Atheist, but it sure happened to me when my father died of cancer. He was more than worthy, through his religious life, to have a quick, painless death. At that point, I was mad at God as a confirmation of my Atheism. I hurt for my father and it was one more reason to fly in the face of those who believe in God.

grr ok look to be mad at god means you belive he is there so that is not a valid classification. and secondly what is with all these stereotypical people that think they can separate everyone and alienate them!! athiest = the belief that there is no god!

Interesting read Pah; I must admit to not having thought of 'brands' of atheism.
