Atheists Are Sexists?

Well, that's what this article claims. And, IMHO, as they seem to lack tolerance for any view but their own, that might just be the case.

Isn't The Nation a right-wing magazine? Consider the source before worrying about what they might say.

Did you read that article?...it doesn't support the notion that Atheists are sexists.

It looks like one Atheist made offensive comments

Are Christians tolerant of other views? Us atheists tolerate you just like you tolerate us. In fact since there are more of you we have to show much more tolerance than you.

When's the last time an atheists approached you and asked if you knew where you were going when you die?

Militant atheists are just as bad as religious ones.
No, they’re not. There are no calls for slavery, rape or murder in the atheist holy book.

Atheists are most often called ‘militant’ when they passionately defend reason and advocate critical thinking. The bar theists set for perceived hostility appears to be any atheist simply voicing an opinion in dissent of religious belief. In contrast, the bar atheists set for perceived theistic hostility is any form of religiously motivated violence or oppression.

Atheism does not preclude someone from being argumentative or insensitive; those things are simply seen as being preferable to killing one another over an imaginary friend.

A ‘militant’ atheist will debate in a University or appeal for the separation of religion and government. A militant theist will kill doctors, stone women to death, incite religious war, restrict sexual and gender equality and convince children they are flawed and worthless – all under the instruction of their imagined ‘god’ or holy book.

It can be argued that there is no such thing as a ‘militant’ atheist, that the term is itself a misnomer, because there is simply no ideology or philosophy in atheism to be militant about. If an atheist is someone who lacks belief in gods, then a ‘militant’ atheist is apparently someone who passionately lacks a belief in gods. All other possible beliefs and ideologies – including any desire to oppress theism – come from outside atheism. This is in contrast to religious belief, which often includes a set of laws and commandments purportedly derived from a supernatural source about which one can be ‘militant’.

Atheism is simply a lack of belief in gods with no inherit moral, political or philosophical baggage.

The sexism of the individual doesn't change just because he/she puts on a different colored hat. Pick any religion, ideology, or belief system and you find sexists or racists amongst them. That said, Christopher Hitchens was a self-admitted male chauvinist.
