I am an Atheist, I am repeatedly shocked by some of the comments made about us Atheists. This idea that we don't care about other people, or that we are evil people who spread lies, or that we are somehow in denial, or that we hate theists, and many many others. I would like to try to address these.
We Atheists believe in freedom, above all. That all people have a right to their own opinions and that they will not be punished for them, such as with eternal damnation and the like. That people can all live together regardless of sexual orientation, personal interests, etc...
Very few of us Atheists genuinely dislike Religions as a whole. Just Fundamentalists who attempt to stamp on others beliefs and seem to despise all who disagree with them. I in fact have several very close friends who are Christians, we get along fine, they don't try to convert me, I don't try to convert them.
Please everyone say your reasons for disliking or distrusting Atheists and I will try to respond to them
