[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ which brings us back to the point that some of the reaction against atheism is a reaction to the awful behavior of a minority of atheists.

Of course there's some bigotry against atheists.

But in a forum like DCUM, pp wasn't able to scrape together a single anti-atheist quote that didn't attack atheists' bad behavior as opposed to lack of religion itself. Thanks, DCUM atheist minority![/quote]

I could argue that the question being asked itself in the OP is pretty disrespectful to the actual lack of religion. I would argue that PP's asking if I was truly able to be honest with myself about what I believed was disrespectful to my beliefs, I would argue that the PP arguing semantics about St. Anselm's proof was being fairly dismissive and I would certainly say that the one religious PP that always likes to write a diatribe about how Darwin was humble enough to call himself an agnostic so why aren't we smart like Darwin is certainly not being particularly respectful.

IMO all of those arguments are the same as the petty arguments you feel like atheists make towards you all. The anti-atheist-religion quotes are harder because it is more an implied bias in the questions we are asked. Most everything people have said about atheism in this thread is kind of equivilant (in my mind) to you asking the average american muslim man if he has any respect for women or asking a christian if they hate gay people. Reductive and not a good attempt to show actual interest in the faith. [/quote]
