Why do some believers have trouble with the plural form of 'atheist'?
If you're going to ask atheists a question, why do some of you keep using "atheist" in the singular? Instead of "Why do atheists..." in the plural form, many of you ask instead, "Why do atheist..." in the singular form. It happens all the time here on R&S; you might want to learn proper grammar before posing questions to atheists.

There does seem to be a distinct lack of knowledge of grammar in the religious on here!.

For some reason it's hard to type. I've had to go back and correct 'atheist' to 'atheists' more than once, even though I was sure I typed the plural the first time.

The Trinity and the difference between a god and gods probably messed them up on the usage of plurals.

They have problems with other things as well, syntax is just one of the aspects they seem to have trouble mastering.

They think they're being smart.
Now if only they could work out that the word 'god' isn't always capitalised.
