if atheists are monkeys for not beleiving anything then religious people with their dogmas, false ideologies and false doctrines are probably the equivalent of swine.

They are ignorant....They have no concept of reality...I think they assume that because we are Atheists, that we believe in evolution...and they are too stupid to really understand what Evolution is about. Anyone who knows anything about Evolution knows that people did not COME FROM MONKEYS!!! They are just a different branch of the evolutionary tree...Biologists accept Evolution as FACT...its no longer a theory in the Science community. The only "Scientists" or proffesors who think otherwise teach at Oral Roberts university or in the Kansas School systems.

I believe atheists are related to monkeys genetically and spiritually through the evolutionary process. It is not necessarily an insult to the atheists to be called a relative to a monkey.
However Christians believe that homosapiens were created in the likeness and image of God, so the swine analogy would be an insult.

It has to do with the evolution. Most atheists believe in the evolution and some religious people think the evolution says we came from monkeys, so their attitude is like "maybe you came from monkeys, but I sure didn't" and they call us monkeys in attempt to insult us and patronize our beliefs.
Personally I see no reason to insult the poor swines by comparing them to such people.

Actually you could include swine with the monkey insult. We are told 'Cast not your pearls(wisdom) before swine'.

They call Athiests monkeys because Athiests believe mankind evolved from Monkeys, and Christians believe they were created by God.

I don't know if it matters, but there is a distinction here that is incorrect. It's not atheists that people call monkeys, but evolutionists, as they believe we are descendants of monkeys.
BTW, I never call anyone names like that and I'm one of the "religious people"

It's a rude reference to the Darwin Theory of Evolution.
