And sure, atheists, if you were a Christian, would you hate atheists?

There just seems to be a lot of animosity going around. I thought an exercise in sympathy might be good.

I see it like this. You have your beliefs and I have mine. If I were an atheist, I personally would still respect others beliefs. I have a friend who's atheist and we've been best friends for years and we just respect each others beliefs.

If I were an atheist, I wouldn't hate Christians.
Since atheists don't believe in God, they probably could care less
about people of other religions. If they had a conversation about
religion with a Christian, they'd probably have some some remarks
to say to make Christians uncomfortable and whatnot.
But overall, I think atheists would focus more on other things than
to spend their time trying to convert Christians into atheists.

Before I was saved, I avoided Christians but generally liked them. I've never liked or disliked anybody on the basis of their faith.
Never really hated anybody, but believed at the time that I was in charge of paybacks. One big change in becoming a Christian is no longer "keeping score" and being quick to forgive.

Hate is a pretty strong word, so no I wouldn't. I might think they were silly though, I'm just naturally that way. Oh and I might chew their ears off if they tried to dispute my view of life with me. Pretty much what I already do. I don't see why atheist's even would hate Christians, there no reasoning behind hating someone because they believe in something and you don't.
(doesn't stop people though)

I'm an atheist. I don't hate Christians, and I couldn't care less what they choose to believe. The world would be a better place if they would mind their own spiritual business. If people want to hear about their religion, they can go to a church.
If I ever became a Christian, I hope I'd kill myself for losing my morals and thinking it was ok to worship a sadistic God who drowns and slaughters millions and commands his followers to hurt and kill people. There would be no reason to hate atheists, or to disrespect their choice of belief by preaching at them.

Athiests about Christians- Probably be annoyed with some of them because they are those religious people who are preachy and keeps on asking for money on tv
Cristians about Athiests- Probably be wary of them, not hate them. Christians are predictably dogmatic, athiests can be anything but dogmatic.

I am a Christian. I don't hate anyone.
Atheists shouldn't care. It's not like they have to worry about going to hell or any place like that, right?

Yes, cause I would want to feel superior to all other folks with different beliefs, just like both athiest and Christians do already.

I screw with people but I don't hate them. I'd give them my last five bucks.
