True, but it's the easy way out -- sort of like a gay guy saying he's not the marrying kind (in the old days -- now people bring up their same sex spouse like it's no big deal.)

And it [b]does nothing to help change the perception of atheists as nasty, bad people. [/quote][/b]

You know what would help with that? If hundreds of DCUM readers didn't click into the Religion forum every day to see atheists trashing faith and showing bigotry towards certain faiths. I mean, if you want to change the perception of atheists. [/quote]

Such irony.

“We wouldn’t hate the atheists so much if they would just keep it to themselves and not state their beliefs “[/quote]

This kind of bad faith comment is exactly why I cringe at people who announce themselves to be atheists. I assume it’s about to be contentious. And I’m usually right.

In contrast, DH comes from a Muslim family and I never have any sort of unpleasantness with them, even though I’m not Muslim. [/quote]

You just keep proving the point, post after post.

PP says we hate atheists because they post what they think.  End period.  Nothing in bad faith about it.  That's what it is.[/quote]

People of faith don’t want to engage with atheists because they trash people of faith. Not because they personally lack faith. [/quote]

I find it ironic that you are accusing a whole group of people of trashing people.[/quote]

+1 I am an atheist who doesn't bash people of faith or say they are wrong. I state what I believe and at the same time respect someone's different beliefs. Just because some atheists on here seem to up for a fight doesn't mean they represent the average atheist...[/quote]

And yet, many of you trash all Christians, Jews or Catholics based on the actions of sum. Yet none of you “I don’t bash” atheists ever steps up to correct your fellow atheists. It’s hard not to conclude that they’re doing work for you. [/quote]
