Atheist-non-christian websites?
Is anyone aware of a website that have conversations like this but not atheist-Christian, but atheist-hindu, atheist-buddhist, atheist-islam, atheist-non judeo/christian? Is this unique? Christianity is somewhat unique in that it is more intellectual and less ritualistic. Perhaps it essentially invites this dialogue.
Any comments/thoughts on that?
I just wonder if the other sites exist how similar and how different they would be.

I think http://www.faithfreedom.org fits what you would call atheist-Muslim.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
Forum of the council of british ex-muslims : http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/
Like most people here, they seem to have a sense of humor about the crazy extremes of religious fundamentalism. Like in this thread where they post the craziest death-threats they got from not-ex-muslims :
http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/index.php?topic=9444.0
Post any death threats, accusations of taking it up the ass, being related to a monkey, or any other general abuse you get from those infected by the spirit of Achmed the dead terrorist.
edit : from that very thread, this is fucking gold, seriously, get a load of this :

Hahahahahaha. Too familiar. Much too familiar. Except with "only attacking Islam" replaced with "only attacking Christianity" of course.

haha, I was thinking the same thing! Looks like different "types" of theists are more similar than we thought.
Here's why you won't have an Islam vs. Atheist conversation site:
Atheist: Islam Has been spread and maintained though violence and intimidation.
Muslim: You have insulted our religion, the holy Koran says you must die atheist infidel.
Not much else to discuss.
Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. --Mark Skousen
Good point. They illustrate what christianity was like during t
he dark ages. Must be quite nostalgic for modern xians. The glory days.

It does always crack me up when so many Christians wistfully refer to the "good old days" when making references to anything current or modern.
I always want to know what "good old days" they are talking about.
Most seem to long for the 1950's Beaver Cleaver type world that never existed.
Some seem to wistfully yearn for good old 19th century local politics where everyone 'knew" what was right and killed off anyone who was wrong.
Some seem to genuinely wish for the medieval institutions of long ago.
But all seem to wish for a time when knowledge was suppressed, certain people knew their "place" and fitting in with the mainstream was the ultimate goal for survival.
“It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.”
― Giordano Bruno
June Cleaver and Father Knows Best and The Nelsons and all those other 50s "family" shows were always a cognitive dissonance for me. There was June Cleaver, heels, pearls, spotlessly clean house, wiping down the last plate in the dish drainer. There was my mom, working 44 hours a week, in cut off shorts, man's shirt and bare feet, yelling at whoever was supposed to do the dishes before she got home.
Or my high school days in the early 60s. Over 40% dropped out before graduating. Most were girls who got married or pregnant or both. One of my teachers had to quit when she was only 3 months pregnant because she might "show" and give the girls bad ideas. Sure, let's return to those good old days when in AZ, it was illegal for your doctor to talk to you about birth control unless you were married. You could be 40 and unmarried and it was illegal for the doc to discuss the rhythm method with you.
Yeah, I've met them. And I thought my memory was bad.
