Atheist as in "does not believe in any supernatural creator", fine. Atheist as in "has replaced $god with some gnostic belief system", no thanks. I do not believe in any gods but I actively disbelief in living human beings who claim to have secret knowledge of how the world came to be as it is and what needs to be done to rid ourselves of the yoke of the past so we can become like gods [1]. At least ancient @gods [2] do not have incentives to twist the narrative towards their own personal gain like living and breathing 'leaders' do.
