themselves from the rest by having a name for it.
That simply isn't true.
"Given the scientific evidence that I have examined, I'm convinced there's a creature out there that is yet to be identified," said Jeff Meldrum, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University in Pocatello.
In response to the above statement by professor Meldrum, several of his contemporaries formed a rebuttal organisation called 'Sasquatch Squashers,' who set out to prove once and for all that such creatures did not and had never existed.
Indeed, it could be argued that Sasquatch Squashers care 'more' for their label than atheists, as they have actively chosen to call themselves such. It is however an atheist's lack of care/belief that differentiates them. In short, a Christian cares about being a Christian, while an atheist couldn't care less about a label that simply denotes he doesn't believe in God. Nothing more.
