I don't think the word "atheist" should be capitalized... it's not a religion or a system of beliefs. It's a negative stance regarding belief in gods, nothing more. Problems arise when people attempt to associate more with it.

If I said I didn't mind religion, I'd be lying. Religion was a necessary force in ancient times when people needed comfort and explanations about life and transcendentalism. The need is still there, but with numerous strides in scientific and psychological thought, it is steadily dwindling. If it is entirely possible to be good without a belief in some manner of cosmic sky fairy, then let's eliminate all the unnecessary pluralities that, to this day, have been an impediment to the advancement of human civilization.
