If you've never met someone would you feel you know them better if they were theist vs atheist?

Question

Would having insight into their beliefs give you better insight into the person?

Or could you not tell.

Answer 1

I could definitely guess at their iq if I was told they were an atheist or a theist.

Answer 2

Theist or atheist is not enough information for me. But, if you were to guarantee me that this person was a Jehovah's Witness, I would most likely be quite comfortable to welcome them into my heart and home. AND I have had many people who knew nothing more about me than that one fact, who have done just that. It is amazing the difference it makes.

Answer 3

Theist or atheist, both r part of the creation like peaks and valleys and all other opposits. Peak cannot exit without valley and vice a versa.

Answer 4

Yes, it would give me better insight into the person, of course.

Answer 5

Sure, the more I know about them, the easier it would be to communicate, or avoid certain subjects, and the more we had in common, the more common ground we could share. How can this be a real question?

Answer 6

I can relate with an Atheist more so than I can with a Theist.

Answer 7

Why use preconceptions to pollute a potentially positive relationship?

Answer 8

You would inevitably make value judgements about them based on their beliefs- whether your judgements would be right is a different matter.

Answer 9

I like agnostics, but there are some atheists that leave religion alone, if someone was a christian Id have to wonder why.........then keep my distance.

Answer 10

I think birds of a feather will flock together
