Hemant, the founder and creator of the “the friendly atheisim movement” has posted a list of atheistic attributes he finds most appealing. For more on this check his website
What exactly is a “Friendly Atheist”?
A Friendly Atheist is someone who:
Believes everyone should do what makes them happy, provided they are not stopping anyone else from doing the same.
Does not judge others for following a different path than his/her own.
Shows kindness, volunteers, and helps others.
Does not go around denigrating other religions, because he/she knows that to get respect, one must give it.
Can talk to a religious person without invoking an argument.
Questions his/her own beliefs as much as others’ beliefs.
Invites positive dialogue from religious people.
In my own experience, nearly every Atheist I’ve met has been a Friendly Atheist. We’re everywhere. This is, sadly, a well-kept secret. By talking about the definition, as well as showcasing examples of Friendly Atheism as they occur, perhaps the public image of Atheists can be reshaped.
