1. Christians are taught they're NOTHING without God. (not much self worth) Christians dont believe in their own logic so they have faith.(VERY LITTLE SELF WORTH)
2. Agnostics dont believe in themselves enough to have a belief and be sure about it. (not much self worth)
3. Atheists believes God is fake. They believe in themselves and their logic enough to be secure with their decision. Atheists also believe that "man" can make this world a better place. (THAT'S HIGH SELF WORTH)

1. Christians should actually have a high self worth, because they believe that God has made them beautifully and wonderfull built. Christians do believe in their own logic, and such logic corresponds with their faith.
2. Agnostics could have a high self worth. Just because you're not sure what's in the box doesn't mean you doubt yourself.
3. Many Atheists do have a high self-worth...actually a delusionally high self worth that makes them snobby and condescending. Some don't have much of a self-esteem at all...many goths are atheists and many portray a lack of self-esteem. Surely the two circles overlap.

Well not necessarily. I dont think I have very much self worth as a atheist becuase I feel like when I die, there isnt anything to look forward to.
For a Christian they can believe that there is this God who actually cares about them, knows every hair on their head and listens to them. They will believe that there IS a purpose in the afterlife. An perhaps gain more self worth in this retrospect?
So, I would have to say in my opinion, either in the faiths, can be seen as being with high self worth, but also as many with a low self worth.
I think it depends more on the person, not so much the viewpoint theyre in.

I would expect a TRUE atheist and a TRUE Christian to both have very high self worth.
A true atheist would believe that humans have raised themselves up above all other types of life forms on our own power - that's pretty impressive. We're the top of the food chain.
A true Christian would believe that God, who created and owns everything places mankind above all else that He has. That should instill a great level of self worth.

Self-serving, self-involved and self-ingratiating don't equal self-worth. An engine has many parts, and each of those parts has value, but that value is never actualized unless it assumes it's function relative to all the other parts.
Existance is a community. Whatever we determine our worth to be is irrelevent apart from the whole.
Atheism rejects essential purpose and meaning. For atheists, "community" is an artificial construct, rooted in nothing beyond ourselves. Existance becomes valueless except as an object of human reckoning. When human-kind ends, all meaning ends with it.
That isn't "self-worth". That's ego-maniacal. And it's illogical.

I'm a Christian and I have a very high level of self worth. I am a princess of the King of kings. I believe I was created with a purpose by a God who loves me very much. I refuse to believe I got here by a cosmic accident. Believing that you are here by accident shows a very low level of self worth. So with all due respect, I beg to disagree with you. I think self worth is an individual thing. There are "god believers" who have high and low levels of self worth just as much as there are atheists with high and low levels of self worth. Hence the name "self" worth. It's an individual thing.

Atheists. Christians believe they're nothing without their god and are terrified at the thought their god doesn't exist. Atheists know better.

You know what, maybe it doesn't matter. I am so tired of the bickering between the atheists and the Evangelical Christians. I am also starting to wonder if answering all these religious questions is a waste of my time. Everyone just seems to hate me in the end anyway.

Stop building straw men arguements setting agnostics and atheists apart. God! Go join a religion and start hating some other group that believes in a different religion.

and in the long run what is self worth really worth.
the God believer believes he can achieve all things through the will of God, athiesm believes in stamping out any notion it alone does not agree with.
so whom is better for the future of mankind.

i agree partially. atheists mostly believe thier is no higher power so you got that part right. some dont believe in higher powere and feel frightened that they are all alone.
agnostics are not sure what to believ so you cant really tell.
christians believe in a higher power and use feer to prevent them from being bad.
