As in: Someone would ask a question like, "Don't you think God is great?", and whenever someone would answer like, "Yes, I do, knowing he's up there helps me out" or something more elaborate ((and that makes more sense)), people rate it down to like, ten thumbs-down. I'm not an extremely spiritual person and I'm not outraged or anything, but why do people do it?

I have a problem with this too. Thanks for bringing it up. I only give a thumbs down to the people I think are being very closed minded, but that works both ways. I don't understand why everyone needs to be so rude to anyone with a different sets of beliefs than themselves. I'm am in fact an atheist, but just because I am, doesn't mean i think you should be. It's like me says that my favorite color is orange, therefore yours should be.

That is not a spiritual answer. You must realize that refering to God as "he", will trigger an automatic connection to the death and distruction that has been committed in "his" name. Alot of us don't believe in forgiveness the way you Christians do, and we beleive that Christianity has a big price to pay for it's crimes against humanity!
I'm not saying that anyone of you is responsable for the past, but if you accept this as your faith, you are taking on all the bad Karma that your faith has created for itself.
So next time you think that we "non-christians" are being harsh, think of all the indiginous cultures that have been distroyed in the name of Christ.

Because they don't agree with what you think...but then again I've seen alot of questions aimed to non theist and they get alot of thumb downs too.

"Makes more sense" What could make more sense? Magic pixies love me? Peace be upon the Holy Hooves of the Invisible Pink Unicorn? Yep, gawd is grape.

to be honest i havent noticed. but i can imagine if you are looking for practical answers to a question, telling people that possible dont beleive in god (or maybe just your god) isnt going to help them any but maybe irk them a little.
i dont love god im afraid.

Because people who believe in God like to be wordy and profess their faith, while people who don't find it easier to disagree with one click.

Because they don't want to acknowledge that some people are happy and secure in their beliefs.
