[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Often, Christians  look down on atheists, thinking they’re stupid or evil.

Meanwhile, a lot of Christians voted for Trump, an obvious atheist.  Why do you think that is?[/quote]

First OP, if your title contains a genuine earnest question, your first post negates that with a LOT of hefty assumptions upfront.

As a Christian myself, the presumption that Christians “look down on” atheists or think they are stupid or evil is bewildering to me.
I don’t think that at all. And I don’t know Christians who do. 
But I know of some non-believers who think the kind thing for Christians to do is to live and let live and not attempt to share their faith. 
But to a Christian—that’s like seeing that a car is about to run you down in the road, but deciding not to share that fact with you because you don’t believe in cars so we should just respect that and let the car hit you because it’s none of our business. 
I mean—sure, I could do that. But you can see where it doesn’t make sense for me to keep quiet about it if I live and care about you? If it can save you—I’d rather risk offending you if there is a chance you could be saved just by my telling you to step out of the way if the incoming car.

As far as voting goes, my vote has never been tied to whether or not someone is a Christian.
The thing that bugs me about Trump is that he does not appear to be a believer and yet pretends that he knows Christ. And that’s a tricky one because I cannot truly know someone else heart.
