Yeah but i don't spend half of my internet time trying to convince myself my beliefs are right and the opposites are wrong. I don't even think about atheism because im confident in my beliefs, i don't need constant reassurance so that i can sleep better at night. It does show it is a very crumbling belief, at least among majority of it's followers (on interwebz)
And my post wasn't really directed at you (neither is the point above), but rather at the majority of 'free thinkers' i've met online

That's because you have a skewed view of atheists. The majority of atheists you become aware of on the internet are of course going to be the ones in debates. The "silent" atheists will never be in a discussion where their atheism is relevant, thus they would never reveal their atheism and you would never know they were atheists. There are way more "silent" atheists; they simply don't enter these discussions.

It's not about being or participating in debates...its about starting them...A LOT. And mentioning your atheism / attacking religion at the slightest reference to it. Believe me, i have witnessed this million times where there was no debate to begin with. They feel threatened by the very mentioning of anything religious so they attack it relentlessly, which screams their insecurity about their own beliefs. Now, if a religious person made a topic regarding atheism, i could somehow understand this behaviour.But that's almost never the case. Its almost always other way around
