[quote=Anonymous]As someone who grew up in a fundamentalist evangelical family and now works in a very atheistic academic environment I have seen the best and worst of both.

I know some fantastic people who are Christian and who are atheist and I know some people who aren't that nice who are Christians and who are atheists. Do I trust Christians more - yeah probably because of a familiarity or a blind trust that they will be more trustworthy because we share something in common. In the same way I trust mountain bikers and backpackers because again we have a shared connection and connections build trust.

Both I would say are about equal in terms of having similar numbers of people being convinced they are right, being unaccepting of the others' beliefs, being narrow-minded in their own viewpoints and being intolerant of others who think differently. I've sat through pretty much identical discussions / debates at church and at the school - just about different topics and from opposing viewpoints. [/quote]
