<human>: I'm an agnostic atheist. I've seen such elitist behavior from people who openly declare themselves as atheists time and time again. Here are a few things that stand out.

I once saw a poster ad for an atheist and skeptics school organization. One of their activities listed included Creationist's Dilemma, with a guy standing beside a pineapple and chicken egg. Rather than rational discussion, the group seemed to do nothing more than mock other beliefs.

Is that really in the spirit of open discussion? These activities are pointless and contradictory to the open discussion and inquiry.

This thread also shows what I'm talking about.

OP wants cool people, but only atheists and agnostics! Apparently people with other beliefs are not welcome. They're not cool enough and they are not really given a chance to discuss at all (atheists and agnostics only).

The implication of these groups is that they promote rational thought, yet they use terms like atheist and agnostic as qualifiers. They don't call themselves "Rational Thinkers Group" or "Open Discussions Group", but specifically "Atheists and Agnostics". Right off the bat, these groups make a statement about what types of people they think are rational. Needless to say, if you are religious people not welcome.

These people do not seem to be interested in pursuing truth; they are only interested in reinforcing their existing beliefs.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Atheist and agnostic groups are nothing more than elitist circle jerks of confirmation bias. Why does this always seem to happen?
