Athiest doesn't mean secular.


Secular is a political not a theological stance.
Christians can be secular, Muslims can be secular.
Secular means no comment from religion, not anti religion.
Atheist are atheist, but should that ever become anti-theist then that is also an opinion based on (whether it agrees with or disagrees with) religion, and that is not secular.
If you are anti-theist you are not secular, you are a totalitarian, and that makes you a fascist hypocrite. No better than Sharia Law.
There are fascist atheists that use the word "secular" it as a cudgel to attack ALL religion regardless of if only one religion in particular stands in the way of their political agenda.

When people say religion is evil because it is a root of war I'd like to just point out there are plenty of wars not being fought in the name of god, but for barely covert greed of oil and political power. Even the "holy wars" were fought for poltical power religion was just another thing that got abused to execute it. It is not the root abuser. Hiroshima bomb was not dropped for god. Religion is just another scapegoat for greedy assholes who find it easier to blame others for their own collective faillings. And if you where to ban religion they would simply find another scapegoat.
Anti-theists use the scapegoat of the "greater good / freedom" as their perceived result of ending all religion, yet they fail to see that in the process of making this a reality the freedom of others would be disregarded, not upheld.


So there you have it. Whoever you are whatever you do, wherever you are. If you claim secular; Keep it SECULAR!
