No, I come to R&S to answer questions about religion and the non-existence of any deity. Doing so does not make me agnostic.

Not all atheists "want to free themselves from established moral and metaphysical philosophies". They just don't believe in any god, which is not a requirement of UU, Buddhism, or Laveyan Satanism.

It's only a joke to people who don't understand it in the first place. To everyone else, it's common sense.

Has anyone enacted any laws saying that certain people can't get married in your country because the tooth fairy thinks it's yucky? Has anyone attempted to force their "alternative theory" into your child's science classroom to teach kids that the tooth fairy created the world? Have you heard...

When considered logically, it is easily dismissed.

These are pretty outrageous claims, with nothing to back it up. "This man is now dead, but everything he has ever said while he was living came to pass and are still coming to pass." Oh yeah, like what? No, the U.S. will not be attacked by Cuba, Mexico, China and Russia. If any, it would...

Yes. If evolution is a religion, then everything is a religion.

Yes, I believe there is a group in a city on the East Coast that is putting up ads on buses or billboards that says something like "Why believe in God? Just be good for goodness sake." It might be D.C.
