Really dislike this atheism +, it stems from skepchick and this feminist movment thats taken hold of a small group of the online community.
What annoys me is I prefer to focus on secular humanism, I'm very active with that in Iceland as we try to remove the state church from tax payer funding, get seperation of church and state into the new citizens created constitution, and a host of other issues.
We're even doing a rally with other churches to protest government control over some church decisions.
Anyhow, atheism is a lack of belief, not a philosophy. Secular humanism IS a philosophy and an organized movement. Atheism + shares probably all their ideas with secular humanists, so I find it annoying and pointless to create this new category since I find there to be way too much attention given to atheism in the US and way too little on secular humanism.
