I think even in the states it's cool to be an Aethist. I want to say I saw a star on the news where belief in god has fallen to 70ish %. I'm anerican. And a ton of my friends are Aethist. I am a Christian. And it's a movement here too

What do you mean 'even'? The majority of atheists (yes, it's spelled atheist, and no, it's not capitalised) here don't do it to be different and 'cool'. If anything, being religious would be different here. Movement? There's no atheist movement. It's just individuals coming to a conclusion about a lack of god. If there is a movement, it's more of a private group than a fanatical, global cult.

And I would say world wide that there are folks evangelizing non beliefs. Richard Dawkins, quite famous, had a whole advertising campaign including signs on buses about non belief in GOD. I don't care either way. Someone can believe what they like and as long as it doesn't kill or hurt someone im fine with it

Difference is, he doesn't evangelise a doctrine or way of life. Simply a lack of belief. There's no collectivist brand he's attempting to convince people of. Just a lack of belief. That said, I'm not a fan of such vocal antitheism. Only when theism negatively affects people's lives would I believe stepping in to be justified.

It was autocorrected that way. When something moves from one side to another it's movement. I never said it was a campaign or a collective action. Just that it's moving from a high Christian population to not as saturated. A movement

Yay, semantics. [quote]movement ˈmuːvm(ə)nt/Submit noun 1. an act of moving. "a slight movement of the body" synonyms: motion, move, manoeuvre; More an arrival or departure of an aircraft. "the Civil Aviation Authority directed 125,000 aircraft movements in 1991" the activities and whereabouts of someone during a particular period of time. "your movements and telephone conversations are recorded" general activity or bustle. "the scene was almost devoid of movement" synonyms: motion, move, manoeuvre 2. a group of people working together to advance their shared political, social, or artistic ideas. "the labour movement" synonyms: political group, party, faction, organization, grouping, wing, front, lobby, camp; coalition "the labour movement"[/quote] Kind of a funky way to refer to atheism.

It was just a side-note. Maybe I'm too pedantic. You just confused me, that's all.
