Calling for a rename.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerI'm also in favor of Circumstantial Atheism. Even if it sounds a little bit like someone might only be claiming to be an atheist sometimes/when it's convenient.
I must be cruel, but to be kind That bad may begin, and worse be left behindI think Evil Stole My Faith is clearer.
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableYeah, Evil Stole My Faith is a much better name all around, I just forgot that one was already mentioned.
I must be cruel, but to be kind That bad may begin, and worse be left behindSo for rename options, we have Evil Stole My Faith, Circumstantial Atheism...anything else?
Here.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI'm putting a clock to close the voting on the crowner in the above post. Can't hook it unfortunately, but you should be able to vote if you follow the link.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerFor the record:
- Cynical Atheism is at 9-4
- Evi L Stole My Faith is at 8-4
- Evil Induced Atheism is at 5-3
Heh. Not anymore!
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableI never got an answer to this. We sure this isn't Hollywood Atheist?
I am. This is probably the single most common challenge to strongly-religious characters, as well as backstory for atheists. (Because apparently people only believe in a god when they haven't been exposed to how rotten the world really is... rather than the other way around, which is statistically at least as common. <_< But that's beside the point.)
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableHollywood Atheist can cover this, but it covers a lot more material as well.
