I just did a generalized of "Atheism" does not equal Communism, so here is the more "to the person" one of Atheist does not equal Communist

An atheist group I “liked” on facebook shared this photo today,
A picture of Richard Dawkins with the words “For the last fucking time… “Atheism” doesn’t meant “Communism”

For the record, I do not believe this is a real Dawkins quote or rather I could find no place where he said it.

It made me think of the many debates I have had, as well as the views of my deviant art stalker… where people, generally Christian conservatives say that atheism and communism are the same things or use the terms interchangeably.

Atheism simply means that one has a disbelief in god(s), pass that it tells nothing of a person. It does not tell of their politics, their world views, their social, economic situation, etc etc Pass that what a person believes or their manner of acting does not really denote their disbelief in god(s).

Their logic behind it, or shall I say their logical fallacy is … because several well –known communists were atheists… that must mean that communism and atheism are synonymous…. Even though there are many communists who are religious, there are many atheists who were/are, fascists, conservatives, liberals etc etc so the fixture makes no sense….

That would be like me naming a conservative atheist and saying, all conservatives are atheists… or taking Hitler, and saying everyone who is a member of his religious views are all fascists .. but that would be moronic of me as it is moronic to say atheism is synonymous term with communism.

I do not know what else to put, if you are an atheist, agnostic, theist, [I myself am an agnostic atheist]
“Agnostic atheists are atheistic because they do not hold a belief in the existence of any deity and agnostic because they claim that the existence of a deity is either unknowable in principle or currently unknown in fact.”
