Bonjour M. Duster.

Are you unbiased? Because "unbiased" is defined as not having any
bias. If have no bias, why should you define yourself in that way?
Bias is something you don't have. Shouldn't you pick a different name?

Do you know anyone who is intolerant? Because "intolerant" is defined
as not having tolerance. If someone does not have any tolerance, why
should you identify them that way? They don't have tolerance.
Shouldn't you pick a different name for them?

"Atheist" is defined with reference to theism, and theism *does* exist,
whether any God does or not. It shows a rather intolerant bias against
atheists to suggest that they are not even entitled to their own name.

By the way, I am not an atheist myself, but I do stick up for them on
occasion.
