Why Religious Believers Are So Desperate for the Atheist Seal of Approval

By Greta Christina / AlterNet February 24, 2015
I've been getting into these debates with religious believers for many years now. I've seen how they start out, and where they end up. I've seen many, many theists desperately try to get the Atheist Seal of Approval for their religion. And I've reached two conclusions about why they're doing it.
  • They think atheists have higher standards than most believers, so our approval will mean more.
  • And they don't want to think their religion has anything in common with those other sucky religions... and getting atheists' approval would let them keep on thinking that.

The solution is of course to promulgate the atheist religion with its triune goddesses - the flying spaghetti monster - bless her holy noodliness, the invisible pink unicorn and the dark goddess of chocolate!
