Yes, it is, but they will. It's the same as their dislike for just about everything not holding to their own brand of religion. Atheists aren't alone in it, the immoral aspect usually comes up when discussing many varying beliefs. My religion has views on polygamy that are considered immoral 😉 Although currently we are told not to practice polygamy, and doing so at this time is considered a sin.

Curiosity doesn't necessarily mean noisiness though, not in my definition of it anyhow.

mainly: curiosity does not imply action.

I would use the term interest. It is an accurate definition of curiosity that includes nosiness, or rather a desire to know about people or things that do not concern oneself. Read the definition of interest, this definition I think embodies the intent behind including curiosity. It also fits Alliance's view as well 😉
Perhaps not, upon further research I found that it does include the term curiosity in some dictionaries.

Ambition, dream, the will to want to be better. The list can be endless with the pursuit of knowledge. I guess the ideal pursuit of knowlege, is done out of the love of learning. Even then, it isn't real curiosity...
It starts with Imagination which leads to curiosity which leads to exploration which leads to Knowledge..
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." Einstein.
"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

And where's Einstein now?
Einstein is not the know all...he's a pop culture figure. He royally failed quantum mech...🙁...in hindsight🙂. Einsteins views are not always clear cut either.
In answer to storm/regret/debbie...I dont think you have to be curious about something to learn about it. I think just knowing somehing, even if you don't give a 😖, is superior.
Then again, "the pursuit of knowledge" can imply a general curiosity about everything. It knowing just to know, but mandates actions. I know many people who would like to know things but sit on their fat arsess and do nothing about it.
I believe interest would be a synonym with curosity in this case.
