Honest question. Your are looked upon as primitive-minded people in much the same way as you look upon voodoo practioners.
Just silly, animal sacrifices, ritual cannibalism, fantasy world of demons and gods.
Get real, get into the 21st century. Myths are for entertainment. You may as well ask us believe in Tinkerbell.

The United States is, currently, one of the most religious countries in the world, separation of Church and State notwithstanding. Americans are probably as extreme and militant in their religious views as the Iranians, who are about as extreme as any nation on the planet. This might explain why Americans and Iranians don't get along too well these days.
Why is this? It might be the success of the USA, so far, as a nation. There's a tendency for winners to think God is on their side. For example, the British were much more religious in the nineteenth century, when they ran the world, than they are now.
Militarism and religiosity seem to go together, historically. Fighting to the death for your country seems to require some concept of a higher power -- witness the Islamic Jihad, for example. And Americans have always been extremely militaristic, largely for economic reasons, rather than defensive ones.
Perhaps, rather than the "military-industrial" complex, we should refer to the "military-religious" complex, in the United States? In other words, we need religious nuts to keep the wars going that run our economy. Makes some sense, if you think about it.

We do NOT do animal sacrifices (we Christians don't, anyways.) The Holy Bible says that non-believers think that we R silly and insane(in 1 Corinthians 2:14), but we R not(many R demonic, but those people Rn't crazy.) I must admit i appreciate your honesty. Is that in question format?

Go ahead and think so if you like. We consider atheists to be fools who indulge in a lot of wishful thinking and illogical thought. We think you're the ones who ought to wake up from your daydreams and do some honest thinking for a change. So if you want to fling mud and call us insane, you can be quite certain that the opinion is completely mutual. On the other hand, we're told to love you anyway in spite of your foolishness. So, blessings and peace be with you, my friend.

nicely, i imagine there's a superb line. that is fullyyt because what one would evaluate a factor for communicate and debate will be taken as offensive and impolite to somebody else. Its thoroughly subjective so i do not imagine there is any genuine thanks to outline it. in my opinion, i do not concepts people disagreeing with me or maybe declaring that i'm incorrect. What I DO concepts is even as someone tries to pressure their faith down my throat. i'm Atheist, so I also despise even as i'm advised i visit "burn in Hell" or something alongside those strains. conventional, i imagine you'll discover many diverse solutions for this question, yet i do not imagine 1 would nicely be seen accurate over the different with the aid of the indisputable fact that's so opinionated.

Well, I think your name says it all. You are trying to agitate. What you don't understand is that we do not need or desire your acceptance. Christians understand that God's will is all that matters. We know that this life is but a blink when compared to eternity. So, in fact you are contributing to prophecy. The Bible says that true believers will be persecuted for their beliefs. So, look at that. You are playing a part in God's will after all.

Dude, you are like the spoiler that tells kiddies the truth about santa claus!
Do not be dogging these "primitive minded people" because we need them to stay monogamous and heterosexual in order to procreate us some replacement soldiers in the endless war on terra.

Yeah! If a hindu came up to one of you and said there was blood coming out the @ss of his elephant watchamijigger statue you'd think they were nutzoid. Would your own religion stand up to the criteria you use to determine that other religions are false?

We are crazy? Well I think you're pretty crazy to think you and everything around you happened by chance and that there is no creator. If you don't believe in God, then what can you possibly have hope in?
