Apologetic?

I'm an Atheist. I just happen to have a background in religious history.

I apologize for nothing. But if people are going to hate, going to despise, going to destroy, they must do so from a position of knowledge. Hating something based on ignorance is foolish. Hate something because of the truth of it.

IF I need to make crap up to hate something then it probably doesn't deserve my hate, say, unlike stalinism or facism or the castes system etc.

Apologetics

Apologetics (from Greek ἀπολογία, "speaking in defense") is the discipline of defending a position (often religious) through the systematic use of information. Early Christian writers (c. 120–220) who defended their faith against critics and recommended their faith to outsiders were called apologists.[1]

I'm not defending faith so much as attacking ignorance though. A subtle but I think important difference.

It's funny; when talking to other atheist I often have to defend all faith, when talking to certain faithful people I have to defend other faiths.
