[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an atheist, I can tell you how I would like my Christian friends to behave towards me.  Those that don't follow these rules, find they have difficulty maintaining friendships outside of their religion.

1.  Don't try to convert me.
2.  Don't actively or passively judge me for my non-belief.  I already know you think I'm going to hell.  It doesn't need to be stated even once 
3.  Don't tell me you will pray for me.  That comforts you, not me.  
4.  Don't actively or passively judge an entire group of people for not sharing your faith in front of me.  Keep that talk to your church friends.

There are probably others, but these are what I could think of off the top of my head.  [/quote]

As a person of faith, these are identical to what I would like from atheists (except for the praying part, also, most Jews and Christians and others don’t think you’re going to hell). Sadly, that’s not how atheists behave in this forum, especially #1 and #4. Do unto others, the golden rule, and all that. [/quote]
