This is coming from an agnostic atheist btw.
UPDATE: Most of you are just proving my point, so...
UPDATE x2: I'm getting really sick of the same old "not all atheists do" response. I'm aware. Maybe you people should read the post body and other comments before posting the exact same thing over again.

It's usually an age thing. You grow out of it eventually.
-
I absolutely HATE people that call themselves superior to another human being. They are the most disgusting people to ever live and are the absolute scum of the earth. I would NEVER call myself superior to another human.
-
Since they have some proof, they belittle religious people who have faith. Even though atheists and Christians both [i]ultimately[/i] depend on faith.
-
Because the sun sets in the west
-
Because atheists are smarter than religious people. There have been multiple studies all saying the same thing. We have a "superiority complex" because we [i]are[/i] superior.

Edited by tjustie: 5/23/2015 2:38:58 AMI see it from religious people far more honestly. On the internet, you see the fedora neckbeard atheist types more, sure, but in real life and also on the internet, I see religious people acting superior far more. No other group of people has self rightousness and superiority more ingrained in their teachings.
-
Because they are by definition more intelligent than christians.
-
Its pretty much the reason they are atheist. There can't be anything higher than them in their mind. [spoiler]serious answer is idk. I think its just people though. I see it in the church and outside of it.[/spoiler]
-
I don't have any complex about my superiority.
-
I'm willing to bet that most atheists don't have a superiority complex. I think what you're hearing/reading are the vocal minority. I'm an athiest. I have catholic, and Muslim friends. They have some very vocal minority groups within their religions as well. [spoiler]It's not the belief structure that makes someone an asshole.[/spoiler]

Edited by BlaqSpiral: 5/22/2015 7:07:38 PMI'll fess up to it... I'm very positive there is no supreme entity. I'm so confident in that, I could care less about what others think or who they choose to worship. However, every so often a group comes a long that absolutely deserves the ridicule they bring upon themselves. Also, how the hell can you be an agnostic atheist? The translation and etymology doesn't work like that.

It's all that Mountain Dew they drink. You drink enough of it you get super powers.

Tons of people have superiority complexes. Just because some atheists have it doesn't mean only atheists have it.
-
I hate kids....

Edited by Ryouji Gunblade: 5/20/2015 7:25:54 PMIt's pretty simple, really.
-
person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God. person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods. /thread?

Because I am superior? I don't look at a child who believe in Santa and think "what if he is right?".

Superiority complex. Don't quite remember the specifics of the meaning. But the answer is conformity. No, wait. Right. Rich people. You know how some rich people often consider themselves above others because of their wealth? Their wealth makes them better? It's a sense of security. And a fake one at that. It's the very same reason why some people like to put other people down. When they put others down, they get a fake ego boost and a reassurance in themselves. Your question, is actually mistaken. Why do so many people, in general and not just supposedly athiests, have, superiority complexes? Because they're insecure. People like to feel safe and correct in their convictions and ways of doing things. So they put up some blinds over their eyes and say hello to a falsely constructed reality in which they mean something.

Dealing with superiority is hard.
-
Because they have to be the best. They want to be god lol.
-
I think the problem is new atheists and hipster atheists Newatheists, let's call them, are very verbal and in your face about not believing in a god suddenly. They just want everyone to know what they think at all costs, and I've seen this happen, and it is painful to watch. Then there's the Hipatheists (let's call them). A bunch of douchebags pretending to be something and pretending to know everything. I was raised in a nonreligious family and have always kept it to myself. No reason to go and piss all over everyone about it, that's why some people have very little respect for the nonreligious.

Edited by NotSoMightyDuck: 5/22/2015 9:42:49 PMBecause atheists aren't misguided through life.
-
B8 And because they are compensating for not having God on their side
-
You can't be an agnostic atheist. You're one or the other.
-
80% of people today have a superiority complex.
-
For the religious they do have a superiority complex, they just call it god.
