Different Types of Atheists
I am an Anomic Atheist.
That means I will fight to my last breath and last drop of blood.

I thought for a minute there that you were an ATOMIC atheist.
Dammit! I wanted superpowers too!
Humans are an intelligent species. We just aren't smart enough to realise how stupid we are.
Wouldn't life be great if the 8 hours spent in bed were as long as the 8 hours spent in work.

Re: Different Types of Atheists
I'm an anemic atheist. I have to fight with with the last drop other atheists' blood.
Surely, though, 'anomic' relates more to alienation and purposlessness or lack of direction? I don't get how it relates to the urge to fight to the death? As an atheist I don't feel exactly alienated; I'm integrated socially in any number of ways. I think if you turn the fight for secualrism and against woo into a war on everyone who believes you'll be totally alienated but I like my friends & family, many of whom have some level of faith.
While your passion is admirable perhaps the phrasing is a tad scary. You can be non-accommodationist without sounding, as Hemingway pointed out, like a jihadist.

I am an Agnomic Atheist. Not only do I hate them but I go into garden centres and break their little fishing rods.

Pope says atheists pick & choose their morals. Correct. Today I will be frowning on child abuse & not having a problem with homosexuality.

Re: Different Types of Atheists
I am also an agnomic atheist. I don't believe that gnomes exist but I don't claim to know this.
Re: Different Types of Atheists
Anomic isn't a great claim to make for yourself. In fact I'd expect Christian trolls to call atheists anomic.
an·o·mie or an·o·my: 1. Social instability caused by erosion of standards and values. 2. Alienation and purposelessness experienced by a person or a class as a result of a lack of standards, values, or ideals
from Greek anomia, lawlessness, hence: anomic - socially disoriented

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
