I've given several thumbs up to Christians. When comments are correct, accurate or good arguments. I've given thumbs down to atheists as well for being rude, inaccurate, incorrect or for using really poor arguments.
Generally I'm sure I've given more thumbs up to atheists. Something to do with all the crazy creationist rhetoric and the illogical arguments.

Yes, I've given thumbs up to Atheists and other non-Christians.

Sure, I've given thumbs up to atheists... as well as buddhists, muslims and a couple of people who didn't say either way. Admittedly, in my advanced age, I don't remember all of them, though I do recall a question someone asked about muslims being terrorists and a self-proclaimed atheist pointing out that (1) not all muslims are terrorists and (2) by our standards, what is commonly thought of as Christianity has been known to spread its own brand of terror (Spanish Inquisition anyone?). So yeah, I had to give a thumbs up to that... because quite simply... we're all human...

Yes, I have. As long as an atheist is answering a question sincerely and not using the question as an opportunity to insult my God or me, I will read the answer with respect and honestly evaluate it.
I've given many Christians a thumbs down when I felt the answer was insulting or disrespectful.
Respect, patience and tolerance are qualities that we all have, regardless of our spiritual beliefs.
Be blessed.

Not often. We disagree on a lot when it comes to questions regarding religion. I rarely give them thumbs down, unless their answer is rude.

It is possible to agree on many things, some morals and values are expected by the society and not necessarily by your religion. It is also possible to have the same standards and opinions concerning everyday things. I have an atheist friend and we agree that abortion is wrong, but her opinion is not based on religion, where mine is...

As long as someone sounds like they know what they're talking about, I always like the Christians that can debate and make me almost believe that they might be right, but.......

I have, I don't remember why.
They must have said something political I liked, or something unbias or fair.
Like rev. T L Clark, I liked what he said.
