Someone who has the guts to stand up to and criticize some aspects of religion, which for some reason or another remains a complete taboo in our society.
Notice how critics of capitalism aren't called "angry socialists", critics of modern liberalism aren't (or at least shouldn't be) called angry conservatives, etc.
Whenever someone deals with religion, however, he must don kid gloves.
Of course, there will always be those immature twats who take it to the extreme- i admit Brian Flemming is probably one of them. But you still shouldn't discount every one of their messages - keep an open mind! (though not too much so)
It should be noted that the vast majority of religion-critics don't "hate" religion - they're just tired of its near-immunity to criticism and debate.

Outside of religion, cutting off a baby boy's foreskin is most often seen as despicable and wrong. But once the protective shelter of faith is granted, it becomes a taboo to say anything about it.
Another example: the drug peyote is normally illegal, but some native americans out west are allowed to use it for one of their religious rituals - also, voodoo worshippers of a certain haitian-american sect are allowed to sacrifice certain animals (i'm not making this up)
It's weird how the moment the "faith" cover is given, a person's actions are suddenly almost off limits. Somehow, we've just agreed as a society that that's how we should work. And anyone who questions this norm is quickly labeled an "angry atheist".
Odd, don't ya think?

Get the Angry Atheist mug.I've seen definitions 10,000 "characters" long, but for some reason we're restricted to only 1500 now. Which sucks.
The Super Fucking Obnoxious 1500 Character Limit is the worst thing to happen to this site in a long time... some definitions are meant to be long, people!

Get the Super Fucking Obnoxious 1500 Character Limit mug.Can be one of two things.
Either:
1) A stupid wannabe rapper like 50 cent or Ja rule
2) A really foolish and crazy religious dude from the RaptureReady.com website. And since most of the people on that site are already kind of nutty, a true Raptard will stand out and shine, believe me.

Raptards like 50 cent suck ass and should eat dirt. At least the second kind of raptard is somewhat interesting.

Get the Norweigistan mug.The incredible shift to the right this website is currently undergoing. Historically, most of the authors here have tended to lean left-wing or libertarian. But it's changing.
Evolution, an established scientific theory, is now ridiculed.
The front page for Liberal is now under attack by angry, frustrated right wingers.
Abortion has undergone similar attacks.
Don't even bother with the page for Barack Obama.
The liberals on this site need to wake up, we're getting buried.

Conservative Takeover
It's not all that bad, though. Global warming is now frequented more by people who know what the hell they're talking about. Pages like God and Bible are still clearly dominated by the non-religious too.

Get the Conservative Takeover mug.The neoconservative version of the race card. What neocons pull when trying to get you to support an unpopular war or the like.
Bob: So what if there weren't any WMD's? If you don't support the war effort, you're anti-american!
