That's simply a lie. I have no such desire, and I challenge you to prove otherwise. Find anything I've posted supporting that assertion.

I have no idea what you personally do. But I've already posted 840,000 examples of Atheism infringing civil liberties.
I don't oppose DBlack as a force against liberty, I oppose Atheism and have strongly supported and cited the fact that Atheism works to curtail and crush individual civil liberty.
840,000 documented instances of Atheists crushing civil liberties - hardly a fantasy.
Not really, an atheist has just heard all the fairy tales and does not give them credibility
And uses the state to crush the rights of those who do, and to ensure that their rights to free speech are curtailed lest they spread "fairy tales" or express views in contrast to the Atheist.
(BTW; the name of religious zealot should be capitalized; ergo "Atheist.")
2) By definition, superior species multiply while inferior species are reduced or become extinct. Is that not why dinosaurs were dominant in their day? Are not humans dominant today?
I think you need to read the pans your post got again. The thrust is that biologists don't impose value judgments on the results of evolution. You are engaged in circular reasoning at best; "survival of the fittest" is true by definition if fitness is defined as the ability to survive! It's also meaningless as are all definitions. Give me a counterexample where the fittest did not survive.
For your specific references, the most successful creatures today (or in all of evolutionary history for that matter) by number of individuals or by gross biomass are single celled creatures. Dinosaurs and humans are fragile fringe players compared to algae.
Atheism is an affirmative belief that there are no gods, whereas Agnosticism is the lack of belief in any particular god(s). To which do you subscribe?
Most everyone who has looked at it call philosophical Taoism atheist and I concur. One of the tenets of my school is that personified deities are social institutions designed for social control and do not exist independently. You can lump them with fairies and egg-producing rabbits.
6) I define god as a being beyond human comprehension. How do you define god?
I define a personified god as a supernatural deity that interacts with humans in history and has aspects of personality (like being capable of being flattered, cajoled, or bribed; of experiencing anger, lust, affection, or disappointment; or of preferring one group over another). This leaves room for deities that do not interact with humans, such as the Theists "Clockmaker God" who sets Creation in motion and then retires from it, or those who identify a deity as identical with Creation, or Nature, or Tao. But in each of these the believer does not expect a deity to intercede for them.
I find it peculiar that you appear to get your information about atheists from sources other than atheists, and your concept of evolution from people other than evolutionists. Thus your attempt to make a connection here is flawed on many levels. It makes my head hurt.

What makes your head hurt is all the dodging and weaving you do to avoid answering simple questions. Atheists are strident in their condemnation of other religions, but get all squishy and word mincing when it comes to their own beliefs, preferring to masquerade as Agnostics. In reality, they are profoundly ignorant individuals who are terrified of the unknown and want to prevent anyone else from talking about it in their presence.
Well, then you're simply being a bigot.
You're making claims about what all atheists want.
I'm proof that those claims are false and you're ignoring that fact. I could post 840,000 examples of Christians infringing on civil liberties and it wouldn't prove a damned thing about Christianity. Except that some Christians are assholes. Some atheists are assholes too. So what?
Atheists just object to others forcing religion onto them
How would you feel if atheists forced the school to force their beliefs on your children?
Children, there is no God and Jesus was just a nice man in sandles and a robe
You have failed to address what I wrote, entirely. Try again. You merely re-asserted your position, without addressing what I wrote, which means my points still stand against yours.
What you claim is false, yet again.
You stated that Atheism has no connection to materialism - to which I cited the American Atheist society, i.e. the Atheist church, stating that they are linked.
Just because a group of atheistic americans have aims and purposes does not make them a church. Atheism is not a religion. Learn your terms.
Ah, so words mean only what you want them to mean, and only when that meaning is convenient.
I understand, Humpty.
I know enough about christianity to know its definition, and what many of its adherents believe. You seem to have no grasp of what atheism means.
That you prevaricate does not change actual meanings.
Atheism is an anti-liberty religious movement dedicated to ending 1st amendment rights by establishing secular humanism as the official religion of the United States.
Fact.
I'm not a religious man, I don't get along well with fanatics who want to force their beliefs on others - thus I clash with Atheists.
Well, I'm an atheist and I work tirelessly for the opposite goals - so I know from first hand experience that you are utterly full of shit.
Goodnight, 'Gracie'.
Maybe you should work on your fellow Atheists - because despite your bullshit - Atheism in this nation exists to curtail religious liberty. You don't like the fact that Atheism is viewed like this? Start with fuckwads like Richard Dawson and the rest of the scum that have launched full scale war against freedom of expression.
Atheists are the single most hostile group to liberty in this nation.
Atheists aren't a group or a religion any more than capitalists are a group or a religion. You've got a boner for non-believers for some unknown reason and, frankly, it's a little weird. But your inane mission doesn't reflect reality. Most atheists never even talk about their views with others - in part because of assholes like you. We don't have a mission statement, monthly meetings or anything binding us to any agenda. We just don't believe in god. You're shadow boxing.
Why?I wonder if atheists actually type God or gods more than a believer.

Really , because one of these definitions are fitting of the atheists I have talked to on here. I will let you tell us which definition fits an atheist that makes it a religion.

Bing Dictionary:
a·the·ism [ áythee ìzzəm ]

Actually, it doesn't.
What does quantum mechanics have to do with atheism?
Just pointing out that absolutes are the domain of fools.

Isn't the belief in a "creator" an absolute?
According to Sun Tzu your "clashes with Atheists" are doomed to failure because you don't understand them at all. The first lesson to successfully waging any campaign is to learn all there is know about them. You have clearly demonstrated that you have a very erroneous concept of Atheism. So your efforts are futile and ineffective. Have a nice day.
