So can we conclude that Atheists are here only to mess with theists?

Atheism is just lack of belief in any gods: so Atheists don't believe in neither religion nor spirituality nor do they care about them. Why else would they come to Religion and Spirituality section? Mess with theists of course.

    You have it wrong. If religious nut jobs don’t ask questions about atheists well then us atheists won’t be answering their questions

    People do discuss fiction. Also religions are real as is spirituality, they are just not based on actual Gods/Goddesses. Listening to people discuss spirituality, you could just as easily substitute "emotional well-being" which is what they are really talking about. Religions are just man made books for living that include real advice mixed with magical stories aimed at giving ultimate authority to the advice given. It is clear there is no Intelligence to be found here but it is entertaining anyways.

    I'm here to defend acquiring legitimate factual knowledge and having a scientific worldview. Our modern civilization depends on it. The last thing humanity needs is a return to ancient Rome's unsubstantiated philosophical superstitions.

    Well that is a false dichotomy. There is a 3rd option. Occasionally they may try out new arguments, or logical constructs to reveal the workings of belief. Maybe to see if someone is really asking questions about religion where a rational world view holds answers, and just fills dead time answering other questions.

    Assume anything you want! I don't assume anything - that's why I don't assume there is a God!!

    You are quite correct to say that atheists do not believe in gods but that is all you can say about atheists. You are completely wrong to say "so Atheists don't believe in neither religion nor spirituality". One does not follow from the other. There are religions such as Buddhism and Australian Aboriginal religions that are very spiritual but have no gods and are therefore, by definition, atheist. It is quite possible for someone to be spiritual and follow a religion without believing in gods.

    Adding to that, most atheists are well educated and know far more about gods and religions than theists, particularly fundamentalists, so we have a valid contribution to make to discussions of religion and spirituality.

    The fact that atheist, which are fools according to The Word of God (The Tree of Life, Light, Love, Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge), are here little realizing their doom should reveal the real culprit behind their folly but know with God all things are possible.

    "nor do they car about them" that's where you're wrong. If we didn't care, we wouldn't be here.
