10 Signs You Are an Unquestioning Atheist
(I found this on another discussion board and thought it fit just fine here)
1 You think the statement “My linage derives from evolved lizards” is more logical then “A higher intelligence created intelligent life on earth, according to their kind.”
2 You don’t accept the idea of God, but you talk about him more then most religious zealots
3 You despise the idea of faith, but you have a hyper-abundant amount of trust in “time and chance”
4 You despise organized religion by being a part of an organized religion against organized religion.
5 You claim that religious people are brainwashed, but you spout off quotes from renowned atheists to defend your beliefs.
6 Your best defense to the idea that religious people cram their beliefs down people’s throats is to cram your beliefs down people’s throats (Richard Dawkins)
7 You say the Bible is utterly made up non-sense, then use stories from it to condemn God…who you claim doesn’t exist.
8 One of your favorite arguments against believing the Bible is that it was written by men, but you unquestioningly believe science text books…written by men
9 You get stark raving mad when someone says God (who doesn’t exist) will send you to Hell (a place that doesn’t exist), and use that as “evidence” that God doesn’t exist.
10 You deny the testimony of countless millions of believers, but trust the research of a few hundred atheist...and call that being "open-minded" -

Neonmadman shows the power of one religion's dogma to invalidate and negate all other religions. As for denying the testimony of countless milions of believers: Do you include Muslims? Jews? Buddhists? Hindus? They number into the countless tens of millions yet each believes something diametrically opposed to the others. And yet, Christians discount the testimony of countless millions of others!!
Besides, long before Dawkins and Hitchens drew approriate attention to the genocidal tendencies of the "one true God", scholars had struggled for centuries to "explain away" the Old Testament accounts of Jehovah orcering entire peoples to be slaughtered in his name. Spookily similar to the rantings of Islamic terrorists!

The atheist list is faulty in that it assumes that atheists are in one big club, led by Richard Dawkins. True, there may be some Dawkinites out there, but the majority of people who have freed themselves from religious superstition don't rely on any one person, group or book to substantiate their ideals or beliefs/non-beliefs.
It reads to me like some Christian fundie read the first Christiann list and tried to retaliate with this list.
What we need for this list is a big stamp that says: FAIL

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
1 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
2 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
3 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
4 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
5 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
6 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
7 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."
8 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
9 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
10 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian. -

You are right. I'm an atheist and I don't mind when people make fun of atheist. There's actually some funny material out there that has made me chuckle. But this was a very poor attempt.
