To those 'believers' who rate atheists worse than gang bangers. If your car broke down on a lonely road, would you rather the the first car to stop was a group of atheists, or a group of gang members?

It's just another example of how narrow-minded religious people are. If they follow the goofy statements of Pat Robertson, John Hagee, Jimmy Swaggart (see the attached) and all of the other wind-bags who make bigoted statements against others, then it's no wonder that many people believe that gang bangers are better than atheists.
It's the same with the argument about Hitler possibly being in heaven, while religious people believe that millions of Jews will burn in hell. Bigotry ... their beliefs give them the right to say hateful things with joy.
So much for the love of jesus and how it is supposed to show in the hearts of his followers.

There is way more proof than that. How about the fact that Christians preach about how it's not our right to judge others and then they come down against homosexuals, going so far as to keep them from getting married. Religions are supposed to make you tolerant, happy and at peace with yourself. Treat others as you would be treated. Judge not lest you be judged. Love they neighbor and all that good stuff. I see a lot of atheists and agnosts that are likely to follow these morals as opposed to true believers. Just because someone thinks they have found "the true path" in life some people think that makes them better, or gives them license to push it off on other people. I really have no animosity towards religion, just the sect of believers who use it wrongly. I say sect because some people do try to make their lives better.. but it seems nowadays I find more of the other, judgemental type.
I am not religious btw.

Atheists see the world and hereafter dark for themselves But there is always a hope for finding the truth and open their eyes for the light until the end of their life So it is for the gang as well If A gang says I know there is God but I do not care about what He order us, he/she is also atheist...All the best :)

No, that just proves that there are religious idiots in the world. I'm a God believer, but my God doesn't need to give me a book to tell me what's right or wrong. Common sense skills were given to me by God to choose right and wrong. Besides, my view of right/wrong could be completely different than your view of right/wrong without religion even being involved.

This is not proof that God believers do not know the difference between right and wrong! To some people, perhaps the biggest and worst sin of all is not to believe in God but that in no way means they do approve of moral evil. To them, to not believe in God means your immortal soul is in grave danger. Other evils can be repented of and forgiven. Now with that said, I must sa y that I may be wrong in my assumption of the reasoning behind their answer but it is worth considering because neither you, nor I know another's motive's and reasoning. You were asking for opinions not absolute moral fact so lighten up a bit and perhaps try to rephrase your question a little differently.

I'm a Christian I've judged people it's a sin and I try to not because that's God's job and judging religions is sometimes okay but not for individuals.

What is wrong is that you continually put down put people down for believing in something. It is wrong the way you treat people. The right thing to do would be to ignore you, which is my goal from now on.
