  • Because they're not worth our time.
  • I thought Anne Coulter named her last book after them?
  • most atheists love attention for being atheist, so why give them the satisfaction?
  • Because they would love that and why do we need to fancy them
  • Because that would go against the grain of most religions philosiphy. Unless youre westburo... where aperantly God appreciates hate.
  • Because it would show a disrespect for a person that God loves and cherishes.
  • i think that saying you are an atheist carries a certain weight with it that people scoff at already, w/o having to call you a mean name.
  • I don't know actually - it seems like 'atheist' is the negative term though... as I just stated in another answer, someone has called me an 'atheist' and meant it as an insult.
  • I don't know, lets try and think this out: I guess calling them a "God Lover" would be kinda insulting, I don't know about durgatory, though. "Godless" is kinda slag, but I've never really heard it used other than in my own silly circle.
  • Uhh because they wouldn't care? What are you going to say? "You Non-Goder!" "..Yeah? I know. WTF"
  • i don't know why there isn't one but YET implies there will be someday... hopefully we wont find one. i dont think we need any more derogatory terms to add to the bunch.
  • This is a good question, because how many different slang or derogatory names have we seen for religions or Religious people. But I haven't heard any for being athiest. I personally don't even know what I believe in anymore, so What am I? I am sure there is a name or slang word or even derogatory name for religious confused "people like me" agnostic? maybe? I don't know enough about that either! I Was never quite so confused about religion untill all the confusion on AB with it. I honestly believe it could be because MOST but not all athiest on AB is down rate happy.
  • Usually, some people that consider themselves to be religious just bash other religions that aren't their own. Since atheism is not a religion per say, they haven't got the time.
  • Wait a minute. On Sanford and Son, Aunt Esther used to call Fred "a fish eyed fool" and a "heathen". So possibly "heathen" is the worst insult available to date.
