No, I don't think it strange at all. We are scared, if that wasn't so then murder would not be considered evil in all cultures throughout most of history.

Humans are not sacred, but they are a species of animal. Supposedly a higher form of animal due to its intelligent. But from what i have seen and studied of this species, I would say that it is going down hill at a rate far greater than expected. Any thing can be considered sacred, but the question should be, why consider a species that is bent on self destruction. With the lower forms of species, at least with them you know what to expect.

Yes, it is absolutely wrong to consider the human to be a sacred animal.

The term sacred means set apart for God, so it makes no sense for an Atheist to consider anything sacred.

Depends on your interpretation of the term "sacred". It is not obvious how an atheist can consider anything to be sacred.

then u are not considered an atheist. u just dont go to mosques or churches or wherever.. that u are supposed to. if u believe that humans are sacred animals.. then u are not an atheist. humans are sacred animals of God. we are "animals" in the sense that we obey God and follow his orders.. like dogs follow our orders.. but we are not dogs because God gives us privelages and rights and a brain to think

Wrong in what way? Is their an Atheist code regarding sacred things?
I would think you could regared as sacred anything you want. Except me. I don't want the responsibility.

What exactly defines a 'sacred' animal from all other animals?
*That* is something 'atheists' never want to talk about.

Do atheists consider anything sacred? I really thought they didn't!
No, it wouldn't be wrong, at least not by Christian teachings.
We believe that Humans are made in God's image, remember? As part of our respect for God, we are to love and cherish each other, showing respect for the "image" of God inside each one of us. That may be something you understand as "sacredness".

Must be a lapsed atheist to think that. if you weren't then we would be just more clever animals than most.
To think of something as sacred would imply a belief in something other than nothing.

Sacred? but if we aren't supposed to eat humans why are they made out of meat?
