It's not being closed minded. I don't call you closed minded because you don't believe in werewolves. And yes ridiculous beliefs deserved to be ridiculed and it's not closed minded. Atheism is a disbelief in god. I dont believe in god because their isnt any evidence of a god, and the muther-blam!-ing burden of proof is on you to prove god not me to disprove it. and disbelief isn't closed minded.
