Default Atheist diversity or unity?

We as Atheists are more like Cats then like Dogs or Sheeps and some are like old Goats .

To get Atheists to cooperate is like hearding Cats. It simply asn't be done. We are too diverse and we are too individualistic to get along.

But some Cats like the nearness of other Cats. The like to be real close and touch each other. I don't mean mating I mean like sisters and brothers do. To cuddle? My enlish fails me here so you help me out, which word to use.

I name this Cats the Likeables. or The Likables if that spelling is the more modern one?

As Atheists some of us are still very idividualistic but like these Cats also long for the other Likables so we could cuddle together.

Mating could result too but that is a plesant surprise but as Likables we love the intimacy of nearness. Gently caressing each other without strings attached to any sexual mating implied. To love the company of likable humans.

Perfect matching is not easy to do but to find Likables would have a much higher probability. So what do you say. Why be a loner when you could be a Likable?

You know, "Cats" would be a lot cooler name for freethinkers than "Brights" or even "Likeables".

uh no, Atheists are not like cats, every one who lives with cats likes them but every one who lives with Atheists hates them and wants them gone

True enpough. My cats were staring at me just the other day, and I'm sure little Fido was thinking that he wishes I'd just fill up his bowl and leave.

Look at the Godless March...

Definately herding cats. It looked like a crowd of people who happened to be walking the same general direction... and it essentially was. They just all had the same goal in mind.

You can't herd atheists. You may, if you work at it, get a large number of them interested in the same shiny object on the horizon...
