[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Atheists express overwhelmingly negative feelings toward evangelical Christians but are also more negative than positive toward Catholics, mainline Protestants, Mormons and Muslims. “The negative feelings are mutual when it comes to Protestants and Catholics, who give atheists net negative ratings,” Pew states. Jews are the only group to get a positive rating on balance from atheists, and they also are more likely to express positive rather than negative views toward atheists.

Americans continue to rate atheists more negatively than positively but atheists have edged up slightly above Muslims and Mormons in terms of favorability ratings. Only 20 percent of Americans have favorable opinions of atheists.

Most Americans are neutral overall about religions, however.

So if people don’t like atheists- it’s because they are hateful bigots?

But when atheists don’t like religion/religious people- it’s because religious people have done something bad to atheists?

Play the victim much? Atheists don’t just personally not believe in God- they don’t want anyone to be religious. [/quote]

Atheist here.  I don't care so much what others believe as long as they don't try to convert me and don't try to speak for me.   A lot of religious people feel the same way. Although every religion has its dogma, not everyone believes everything that's in it. Atheists don't have dogma.  They just don't believe in God.  They may have other good or bad characteristics, just like religious people, not related to their lack of belief in God.[/quote]

you are in the minority of atheists. The majority of atheists dislike all religions and religious people. [/quote]

All the atheists I know are not anti-religion.  Most of them once were religious and have lots of religious family and friends.[/quote]

A majority of atheists (70%) also say churches and other religious organizations do more harm than good in society, and an even larger share (93%) say [b]religious institutions have too much influence in U.S. politics.[/b]

In the U.S., atheists are mostly men and are relatively young, according to the 2014 Religious Landscape Study. About seven-in-ten U.S. atheists are men (68%). The median age for atheists is 34, compared with 46 for all U.S. adults. Atheists also are more likely to be white (78% vs. 66% of the general public).

In many cases, being an atheist isn’t just about personally rejecting religious labels and beliefs – most atheists also express negative views when asked about the role of religion in society. For example, seven-in-ten U.S. atheists say religion’s influence is declining in American public life, and that this is a good thing (71%), according to a 2019 survey. Fewer than one-in-five U.S. adults overall (17%) share this view. A majority of atheists (70%) also say churches and other religious organizations do more harm than good in society, and an even larger share (93%) say religious institutions have too much influence in U.S. politics.

Atheists also find more meaning in money than religious people, according to Pew.

Wouldn't you agree that religious organizations have too much influence on US politics?

No, not at all.

Biden is always talking about his Catholic faith, nobody has a tantrum about that.[/quote]
