[quote=Anonymous]Atheists don’t seem to agree about atheism. If that’s a feature not a bug, fine, but when atheists openly call prayer mental illness and emotional abuse- they are being more than prickly. It’s outright bigotry and also belittling, for religious people, abuse victims, and people struggling with mental health issues. You can pretend it’s not, but it is. I don’t see religious people here calling atheists mentally ill, or disparaging their beliefs, whatever their beliefs may be.

Religious people are told they are hateful, disrespectful of others, pedophiles, told they support pedophilia and the abuse of women, children, minorities, etc, just for having religious beliefs. I personally don’t know any religious people who support or do those things.

I don’t think from reading these forums that the atheist people posting here know anything about religion. In fact, what little they know is often completely wrong. And they assume the worst about religion and religious people. No one should come to these forums to learn about religion, as the few kernels of truth are hidden deeply in pages and pages of threads full of inaccurate information and outright slander and misinformation.

As the person upthread claimed Paine was an atheist, with no documentation or proof- atheists post their very often incorrect opinions about every subject.

If a Christian documents a a religious statement with link and source, it’s disparaged as cut and paste.
