Why do atheists in America like to mock at christians and forget to be polite?I get such answers as" you are stupid ", "you are an idiot" and so on..Do they think that after these words I won`t trust in God?. I`m a Russian woman, living in Russia, and our country paid too much -millions of christians were killed by atheists during communism time, but this terrible time has learned us to be tolerant to each other and I can`t understand why atheists in America can`t be tolerant either?
Answering for myself, as an atheist i like to gain insight into how the religious think. I used to be Religious as i was raised such. I enjoy learning things even if they are not something that i agree with. I try my best not to put others down but i will admit that sometimes i reply in a negative way to what i perceive as a stupid thought or statement. Can you show me some proof that it was an atheist agenda that killed these millions of Christians?
They like to harass. They cannot add anything fruitful since they have no spirituality or religion to talk about. They come here to get an ego high from beating up on others. They can only feel good by knocking someone else down. You have seen the same spirit and mentality in communism. Thanks for your courage and sharing.

They do spend time in religious and spirituality because they get harrassed by christians and muslims everywhere else. This is the only way that they can vent without breaking the law. So you need to realize that.
You ask for atheists to show tolerance, but yet do a majority of the christians show tolerance? NO. remember that it is the mission of all christians to seek out the lost. That is not very tolerant.
And Finally, you want to complain about all the christians killed by communism. Well I think you need to reread history. Hitler was a born and devout christian. He worked with the vaticain and imposed christian dogma on all of germany. And how many people did Hitler kill? The Death camps of Hitler were used to kill jews, ( because he blamed them for christ's death), gypsys, communists, and any non-believer of christianity.
double check your dogma's history before you complain about things.
This question was asked the other day. When typing in your question, do you not check for duplicates?
it's none of your business
It goes both ways. Intolerance is a general malady.
Didn't you know that atheists in America are not really considered citizens or patriots? http://www.netscape.com/viewstory/2007/0... We are also failed human being[s] http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/quot... and are less qualified to govern than Christians http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/702...
Those are some of the reasons why I am an "intolerant" American atheist.
First of all, this isn't the christian forum...don't forget the S in R&S
Secondly, we usually know the answers better than the christians because we have actually read the bible.
And lastly, just because we don't believe in god doesn't mean we don't have an interest in religion. We have to stay vigilant to make sure that it doesn't infiltrate our schools, government and laws. It's our duty to care about religion.
This is a section about everything to do with religion and everything to do with spirituality. Everyone is welcome to give their opinions on such matters. A little tolerance, please?
Maybe because to them Spirituality does not equal God. Imagine that!
You know . Atheist Feel So insecure that they dont know where to go , what to do and what to say
Dont Care about them 'cuase THEY ARE LOST
Peace and Star
edit:
ok im getting thumbs down
but i feel so proud of getting thumbs down from Atheists
Because they are bigoted misotheists.
Why are you pointing fingers at "Americans," atheists are all over NOT just America.
And in America we have a thing called "FREEDOM" therefore Americans can say and do pretty much whatever we chose to do.
Lol....such a good question that i think you deserve a star.
Its not just there in America, I'm from London U.K its the same in that section too...just check it out for yourself.
because. just because.
atheist with power over christians? sign me up for communist russia!
Atheists have nothing better to do, because they are missing that higher calling/higher being in their life. makes perfect sense.
I think a lot of them just like to get points for answering. It's easy. "I'm an atheist and I don't care." (If they're exceptionally slack it's just "idk")
or "I'm an atheist and that means I'm smarter and/or more sane then you."
I think a lot of atheists are just insecure.
If you check other boards...the name calling and idiocy isn't restricted to atheists. Christians, buddists, hell people in the Polls and Surveys area call each other names.
By generalizing you are not a whole lot better.
Whats the phrase....Turn the other cheek?
There are plenty of people on both sides who do not act respectably. Go and do some looking and you will find many christians who ask and reply to questions with similiar results.
Also, don't forget that Hitler was christian and he killed many, many people. Look in the news and you can quite often find a person who committed crimes in the name of christianity. As for atheists in the US, they are a pretty much peaceful lot. I have not read about any of them involved in major crimes. Some do commit crime but no more than any other group. There are even claims that the proportion of atheists to chistians in prison does not reflect the outside world. It looks like the average atheist in the US is less likely to go to prison than the average christian.
Also, many christians have made it their goal to push their religion on others. They want laws passed to promote their religion. They want to be able to discriminate against anyone not of their religion. They want special treatment for christianity. Not all christians are like this. I would not say that even most are like this, however, there are many of them like this. Sadly, there are many of them in power in government who want this stuff. Atheists come on here to show their point of view. If a christian has a right to come on here and try to promote christianity then an atheist has a right to come on here and promote atheism. Like I said before, both sides have jokers that you should just ignore. Some people will say the stupid stuff because they are stupid. That is basically it.
"millions of christians were killed by atheists during communism time"
Man, I didn't know Russia was so cool. I know throughout time people have killed each other because they because they believed in a different magical man in the sky, but I've never heard of people getting killed by people who DON'T believed in a sky daddy.
I know that I can't change somebody's mind if they've decided that the earth is the center of the universe (like the catholic church did up until a few years ago) But for all the other people who are maybe not so sure, just maybe I can save them, and get them to believe in life BEFORE death. I think people should be more interested in the world around them and not retreat into their own minds with fantasy's of heaven and hell and other things that we've never seen and have no proof of.
I'm not against you, I'm trying to help you. I love Russia, I love your vodka and almost all the Russian girls I've seen are very cute. I just hope the people over there who are building new types of bombs and restarting some of the old military programs don't hate the USA because of what a handful of polititions are doing.
I only go to R&S when a question is specifically addressed to, or is about, atheists (such as this one).
Why do Christians go into the LGBT section and bash the people there?
Please read all the previous answers to this question......this is sooooo old.
This question is asked at least once a day.
There must be an answer that will satisfy you.
We are not all intolerant and we're on this page to put the truth to you "believers".
Not so long ago people were put to death or tortured for blasphemy or denying the existence of a god.
Don't forget the Spanish Inquisition and burning of "witches".
beacuse they know God exist!very deep inside!
I would probably say that in Russia millions of Christians were killed by communists but, hey! You were there not me.
well, when I went to the pet section to talk about God, they said I was dyslexic
funny how they hate what they do not believe in. i can appreciate someones inability to believe in something they cannot prove. like how i do not believe in evolution because there is no definitve proof there either. science changes based on facts and religion doesn't change based on speculation. there are people who, for what ever reason, who want to hate and they happen to find atheism a good outlet. let the godless people insult all they want, when the time comes the truth will not set them free. GOD bless and we should all pray for them.
Well, I have noticed that religious people are just as intolerant of atheist viewpoints, and mock just as much.
But probably it is because agnostics and atheists are more oriented towards scientific and logical thinking, and looking for proof in assertions.
Since religion is not based on science, proof, etc., and seem to be more myth than fact, it bothers those that are more logically and scientifically minded.
If there was some way for religious people to come up with any kind of proof to substantiate what they say, that prayer works, etc. then I do not believe that there would be the resistance that there is.
It is kind of the same with people who believe in ghosts, chupacabras, etc. Until they can come up with real evidence that what they say is true, then they are going to be challenged by the logically and scientifically minded.
But I have seen attacks both ways, and I really don't think it hurts for anyone to question people's beliefs. Especially if they are without any kind of proof.
They tell us we are going to burn forever and other such niceties and look how we repay them. Maybe I should just accept bible based legislation...
 Heres my question?
 Why would someone get bored with doing IT for 10 years?

Why do atheists like to spend the time in" Religion & Spirituality" and answer questions about religion?
