If there was a sign on the for saying no atheists allowed I could agree with you. Otherwise I often wonder why atheist don't use their time to do something useful.
Seems that if you don't believe in life after death then you should be living up your one shot at life. This is why I can't take Dawkins seriously. He wants me to a radical atheist to which I say, "Get lost!" I'm going to train, drink wine, grow avocados and get along with people. Meanwhile I'm sure Dawkins still loves the Royal family and sings "God saved the queen" which to me is much more bizarre than someone believing that there is something divine somewhere out there.
I remember a British lady invited me to Christmas dinner where they were going to watch the Queen give her Christmas message to which I replied that I wouldn't even bow if I met the queen so why would I want to see that? Needless to say she never spoke to me again and she was an atheist.
