[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here,

I don't care what you believe in, I just don't get why you believe in it and the only thing that bothers me is the disrespect and intolerance I get from Atheists.[/quote]

NP. While I agree you are overly concerned with what others think about you, I believe that you have experienced these attitudes from others.

But I think the point you are missing OP is that the disrespect and intolerance you receive from 'Atheists' is actually from a small subset of atheists, and likely those in your age bracket as your age group tends to generally be more overtly evangelical in their positions, whatever they may be - it is a hallmark of your phase in life.

An equivalent but flipped position would be me writing off all Christians based on the folks picketing outside the Planned Parenthood clinics.

I can't speak for all atheists, but I know that most people wouldn't even know I am one - I (irregularly) attend Church with my family as it matters to my spouse and rarely discuss religion in my every day life.  I also have respect for those who hold to other belief systems.  The only time I might feel disrespect or intolerance to someone with religious beliefs is when they use those beliefs to justify activities that harm others.[/quote]
