Why are atheists so mistrusted (despised?) by those who believe?
139 Answers
I've often heard it said (mostly by Americans on TV) that they'd rather vote for someone who was religious, regardless of their religion, than they would an atheist.
So two questions:
Question A: Christians, who would you prefer to have as a neighbour - a muslim or an atheist?
Question B: Muslims, who would you prefer to have as a neighbour - a christian or an atheist?

What is more arrogant than believing that you know better than the others?
What is more arrogant than blowing your own trumpet?
And finally what is more arrogant than having all of the above illusions and self-admiration in almost every single atheist, So obviously it is not a coincidence that all of you think the same way. But I reached a conclusion after reading few books of your saint Richard Dawkins that this illusion of self-praise is the core of your faith.

In for a penny, in for a pound. I don't believe in any sort of god, but couldn't care less if others do. I wouldn't be rude to a door knocker trying to convince me into their religion, etc. i attend the local church when their is a school funtion to suport my children, not for any religious bit. My children are free to believe what they like and I will support them as long as they can coherently explain to me why it is a good plan to follow a particular religious path. Does this make me an atheist? Am I a person to be despised? I am not take the p*** but religion is really not my thing but I am interested to know how the religious amongst you would view me if you actually met me.

For thousands of years, humans have been blighted by various religions attempting to impose their particular brand of worship on others, resorting to murder and genocide if they dont get their way.
And you call those of us who point out that you have no evidence for your beliefs arrogant? Those of us who ask you to stop trying to impose your flavour of belief on the rest of us arrogant?

Oh, and according to you, Malela, you know, the young brave pakistani girl who survived the attempted assassination by the taliban, and a bullet in the head - she is somewhat responsible for what happens to her because she hated men in beards, or some other garbage.
