The history of Angry Atheism can directly be traced back to the moment when "God created the world". Angry Atheists who were at that point in time still known as simply Atheists were slightly irritated by the fact that God was taking all the credit. From that moment they were known as Slightly Irritated Atheists. At one time at or around this point, the first intellectual rights violation suit was filed by atheists (by way of some public defender), who said that God was taking credit for something not legally owned or created by Him.
