Thinking of critical thinking, I remembered some ideas I had about the values of some people I met in an Internet discussion who called themselves atheists. On the face of it, their atheism consisted of a bashing contest against people who believe in God, especially people they labelled "fundamentalists."
When I looked deeper, to see what values might be behind their decision to call themselves atheists, I thought of these:
- Sound reasoning
- A free mind
- Open discussion
- Loving self knowledge
It wasn't so much that I saw them practicing those principles themselves. It was more that their complaints seemed to revolve around the systematic repression of those values among people who claim to believe in God.
