Atheism is mere non-belief in the existence of any god(s). I don't think it can be inconsistent.
You're confusing the question of belief with the question of knowledge. For example, I don't believe in any god (atheism) and I don't claim to know there is no god (agnostic). So, the label of 'agnostic atheist' could, rightly, be applied to me.Since an atheist can never know, they can never claim to be an atheist.
Sure they can. One doesn't have to believe the claims of Christianity in order to have an understanding of it, and to be able to point out why they disagree with it.And logically they can never complain about Christianity or theism in general.
Are you aware that theism is mere belief in the existence of one or more gods? On its own (i.e. without the baggage of a belief system with doctrines and dogma), I just think it's peculiar. In other words, I feel the same way about theism as I do about people who believe they've seen a ghost.
I communicate just fine, and I can tell you that in all the time I've been an atheist, I've never once become violent nor have I killed anyone.And since they cannot know, they cannot communicate. Thus either they cope with this life of silence, or they become violent and kill people.
If you think atheism leads to violence and murder, I have to wonder why you would want any atheist to be "the best atheist [they] can be."Be more consistent. I would want you to be the best atheist you can be.
