    Atheist =/= skeptic.

    ok then.... as a person who reads the dictionary I dont find anything wrong with that statement on its own.

    skep·tic
       /ˈskɛptɪk/ [skep-tik]
    –noun
    1.
    a person who questions the validity or authenticity of something purporting to be factual.
    2.
    a person who maintains a doubting attitude, as toward values, plans, statements, or the character of others.
    3.
    a person who doubts the truth of a religion, esp. Christianity, or of important elements of it.
    4.
    (initial capital letter) Philosophy.
    a.
    a member of a philosophical school of ancient Greece, the earliest group of which consisted of Pyrrho and his followers, who maintained that real knowledge of things is impossible.
    b.
    any later thinker who doubts or questions the possibility of real knowledge of any kind.

    edit: just following the rules

    It's clearly a movement you're not familiar with.

    Dunno.
    They're Asian, so probably not slots. Maybe a pachinko thing, but I don't think so.
    Lot's of buttons it seems though, maybe quiz machines. I'm not exactly up on current pan-asian machine trends though.

    Clearly you are not familiar with the other definitions of it and are confusing 'belief' with 'knowledge'. Again, there is nothing wrong with the statement as it is.

    Clearly you're confused with the definitions of opinion and fact.

    Clearly you're also confused with the standards that people who consider themselves part of the "skeptic" ideal are held to.

    You also seem to be confused that none of this has anything to do with something you can look up in the dictionary.

    You also, also seem to be confused by thinking that a sole opinion mandates the support of everyone you claim to represent (atheists).

    When did I ever say that, I only expressed where I was coming from and that in my opinion I had no problem with the statement. I did not realize that speaking my opinion extended to representing such a very large and diverse group if individuals

    You also, also seem to be confused by thinking that a sole educational foundation mandates the support of everyone you claim they represent (skeptics).

    >>Implying that the foundation that founded the movement you've never heard of prior to 15 minutes ago is not recognized as the golden standard within said movement.

    You won't win this by the way. Just letting you know that now.

    Reposting the original image too since it's getting lost in a swarm of apologeticism that makes me lol.
