Why do people ask irrelevant questions to atheists here?
An atheist is someone who denies the existence of deities. Atheists are very diverse. You can believe in anything you want as long as it doesn't involve deities.
People ask annoying questions here such as:
"What do atheists think of Ouija boards?"
"Atheists, what do you think of Britney Spears?"
"Why do atheists believe in aliens?"
"Why aren't more atheists nihilists?
I know this is the Internet, but I just don't understand why they ask meaningless questions about atheists.

"An atheist is someone who denies the existence of deities"
Sorry, no. That's MIGHT be SOME atheists, but, it is not the definition of "atheist".
An atheist is a person who does not accept the CLAIM that gods exist.
SOME may take it further, but, MOST atheists accept the rather remote possibility that a god or gods MIGHT exist, but, the position of non acceptance is due to the underwhelming amount of evidence.

I've never been quite sure, but it makes me feel special, so I don't want them to stop.
