I don't know. The terms "Godless Scum", "Atheist Idiots" or "Agnostic *******" - are those pejorative?

I prefer "imaginary sky friend" myself.
I wouldn't call it a pejorative, but more like a snarky asessment of what I feel to be the truth about the Christian God. I'm not trying to be cruel, I'm trying to be accurate.
I pejorative would be calling someone crazy or bad for believing in said imaginary sky friend. I think you can believe in your imaginary god or mythical sky fairy and still be an awesome person.

I think folks who believe in God will have a tough time with "magic", "Imaginary" and "Mythical" if you are using those to refer to God..."magic" is probably the least offensive, so that's a direction you could go if you weren't Trying to be offensive :)

They are to most Christians. I often use "lovable Pooka" to refer to the Supreme Being, who, in my opinion, is truly a "mythical sky fairy".

I believe your purpose is to be rude or to offend, by trying to correlate those particular terms with one another.
This poses an interesting question. If you care not for God, due to your own lake of faith, doubt, skepticism or whatever then ‘why do you care’ to post such a question?
If not only to mock, those who can rely on more, then their 5 senses alone?
For one such as yourself whom presents them selves as a non-believer what is it that you have to gain from such pursuits, but to antagonize those, whom can walk by faith and not by sight alone?
For a non-believer such as your self, has nothing to gain and nothing to loose.. you live to then die and nothing more.

Pejorative? Thanks for making me aware of a new word. It means derogatory. Do those phrases have a derogatory connotation? If you believe in God, they do.

No, I'd say that these terms are rather accurate, considering the intangible nature of the subject.

The second & third probably are.
The first probably depends on the context.

I suspect they are meant to be - those who use them would be distressed to learn they caused no offence, I expect.
