To start off, I'm an Atheist, and have been that way from a very young age. Why isn't really important in this thread, but if you want to know, I'm always open for discussion. Anyways, I am always open for exposing someone to Atheism and getting them to see what's true. I guess some would call it contamination of the mind, but I'd say it's a fair trade for brainwashing (religion).

Anyways, recently I have been looking into Atheism more extensively lately, noting organizations that seem to be looking to reeducate people. But when I look further into it, I see that they do some very base things, the main one I noticed being the fact that they charge dues to become members of these "great" Atheist organizations.

For other Atheists, does this seem somewhat hypocritical? I've always seen religion as not only false, but comparable to evil businesses, always with one hand in your pocket. So to see these organizations doing the same thing, puts them at almost the same level for me.

Now my questions are:
Should I be so disgusted by these back handed tactics?
Shouldn't these Atheists be better than this?
Or is it all the same anyways?
