The only reason atheists were at the top of the list in the US was because the God-botherers put them there. Because we all know the Jesus Freaks are the only ones with empathy, a moral compass yadda, yadda, yadda. Us heathens can't possible know right from wrong without some fantasy-driven omnipotent being showing us the way....
I agree with all but number 5. That one's true.
The one I hear the most is that atheists are all gay. I assume that this means that the purveyor of said myth would be so if not for their faith's prohibition on said feelings/behavior.

Well, they did say agnostics will support this myth.
However, I wonder why many would claim atheism is a religion but theism is a category for anthropomorphic god-based religions?
Your religion of "atheism is a religion" has been debunked repeatedly. Conclusions have no requirement for religion. Fact based conclusions survive independently of any requirement for faith because the conclusion derives from reason and rationality.

Atheism is a faith based belief system and, while negative, it is god-based. The reason agnostics support the "myth" is because it's not a myth.

You religious zealots have an agenda to associate reasoned conclusions with your irrational religious beliefs as a means to gain credibility for your beliefs in magic and supernaturalism.

You reinforce my point every time you do this.
I'm not clear on your reasoning for this. How does it take faith to be unconvinced of the truth of a proposition?Atheism is a faith based belief system and, while negative, it is god-based.

It's silly to suggest that making reasoned assessments and then reaching conclusions about matters is gods-based. You're letting your fundamentalist beliefs color your comments. It's also silly and pointless to suggest that all conclusions are gods based.I'm not clear on your reasoning for this.

In the absence of evidence, any conclusion is a belief - or faith if you prefer. Therefore, a lack of belief has to be a neutral position, unless there is evidence to support a position. I have never met an Atheist who was neutral and could provide evidence to support their position. Therefore, Atheism is based upon unsupported belief - which makes it a belief system. It is a belief system which is entirely god-based.
That is untrue. "I am wearinging shoes right now." You have no evidence one way or another. So either conclusion as to whether my proposition is true is based entirely on faith? No. Belief and faith are not interchangable. If you tell me that a 3 month old child is walking and talking and playing professional hockey, I will not believe you because everything is contrary to things already known. Now, sometimes a new discovery will contradict previous knowledge. In that case, initial rejection until evidence is presented is justified.I'm not clear on your reasoning for this.

Next to me is the ghost of Richard Nixon riding on flying unicorn. You have no evidence either way, so are you neutral as to whether or not that's true? Not all propositions are equally likely.Therefore, a lack of belief has to be a neutral position, unless there is evidence to support a position.

In the absense of evidence, and in the absense of evidence for magical, supernatural entities, it is entirely rational to conclude that magic and supernaturalism are not elements of the natural, rational world.
You continue to hope to impose your religious beliefs on others. You need to work on that.
