I've noticed that a lot of atheists who accuse some Christians of trying to force others to believe in the Bible sometimes force their own ideas on others as well. For instance, in a lot of debate forums, sometimes you'll see people making fun of someone saying they believe in God, and they'll say things like "What a pity, you're just believing in a lie" instead of being respectful and open-minded to everyone's beliefs. I'm not trying to point fingers or blame anyone, but I just want to know why it's unacceptable for a religious person, usually a christian, to talk about their beliefs, but most people don't get angry when an atheist says stuff like "the bible is full of crap" or "people use religion as a crutch in their life" ?? (by the way, i am in no way saying all non-religious people are like this. i'm just saying, there are quite a few people like that)
