Atheists

I have seen a lot of atheists with their hatred towards religion. Which i don't have a problem with but then they also have a hatred for the paranormal, not all of some do. Know it's probably true that some paranormal phenomena probably is not real such as orbs, the loctus monster, alien implants. What i am interested is, is where their is a massive amount of evidence. This appears to be in survival research and psi. Now a view that i would see as open minded would be a view called agnosticism. This view is the not sure attitude towards questions that surely are the big questions to life.

An atheist on the otherhand is confined to a worldview such as a believer is. So what would i call myself after looking at the evidence for life after death. Well i would say that i am convinced however that doesn't mean that i can't use critical thinking.

Why do you not have a problem with hatred towards religion? Doesn't hatred of any form eventually breed intolerance? Are you an atheist?

I would not say I am an atheist, I would say i am an agnostic. I don't believe any old ghost story that pops up i investigate first and do research then make up my own mind. Of course hatred does breed intolerance, my point was that some atheist take their worldview too far.
