Everything we see is a result of Christianity. Almost the whole world as we know it has been forged by the hand of Christians. Even Asia has been forced to assymilate. Becoming "Americanized" is almost synonymous with becoming "Christianized".
How can Christians feel that atheists are so different when we've all have Christian morals forced on us since birth? From a moral standpoint, Western Atheists are basically Christians who don't believe in God.
So why, Christians, do you see a difference between us?

How wrong can you be?
Christians have nothing to do with morals - most of the tribes and civilisations long before Christianity was thought of had better morals.
To confuse any religion with the way the world has been civilised or the countries like Iran that lack the ability to behave in a civilised way is silly.
If you care to check there are far more non Christian religious people in the world and more non religious than Christian in the world. I am sure it will be much to the Christians surprise but it is still not the dominant force it thinks it is.
Non Christians are not immoral not have they adopted Christian morals - The Christians hijacked the idea of morality as they did with many other things in their religion.
The people of the world have a right to be respected whatever their beliefs and should never be painted with someone Else's religious fantasies.

I think this is a a really good question!
The thing that should set Christians apart is not how we live i.e. morals, but what we believe. The problem is that the word Christian is often synonymous with moral behaviour and there lies the confusion. Certainly 'western athiests' live in a world who's morals are founded in christianity, but they are not people who believe that Jesus was the son of God - mostly because they don't beleive there is a God. As a Christian I see a difference between you and me because I believe in God and you don't - not because I live by a different moral code than you. No judgement just a difference in worldview.

Atheists do not follow Christian morals. We follow human morals.. Human morals, the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong goes back to the beginning of time.
It didn't take some Christian to decide that stealing form your neighbor is wrong. It took common sense.
The Christians adopted human morals, and claimed them for their own.
I am as moral as it is possible to be. I am not Christian.

Astute observation!! By their lips, Christendoom swear they hate the secular world. But, by their actions they are ardent supporters of this world.
True Christians however are no part of this world, just as Christ was no part of this world. ( John 15:19) This does not mean that they are hermits. In being no part of this world, true Christians: (a) are neutral in politics just as Jesus was, (b) they avoid the rampant immoral ways of this world and have the Bible as their guide.
Can you identify the true Christians from the false ones today?

Since God and His Holy Spirit (the Spoken Word) are a "Family" of two who created humans in "Their image and likeness", we the creatures of God have been instilled with that same spirit within us, to procreate an earthly family with the sense of right and wrong. We take after our Creator in that respect just as a child is instilled with the human traits of their earthly father.......... True Christians are believers and followers of Jesus Christ and His teachings. They have heard and understood the Word of God and have come to realize they have lived in Lawlessness against the Holy Spirit of God. They have fully and sincerely repented of their sins and have ACCEPTED Jesus Christ into their lives as Lord and Savior, as it is the ONLY way to be redeemed back to the Father in heaven. They have completely turned their lives around and have begun to live as true and faithful servants of God, living by the Word, the Will, and the Ways of God, and enduring in their faith to the end.......So you see, it is not that atheists are "Christians who don't believe in God" as you say, but the human race as a whole has an inherited trait of the Father in heaven which defines us as "His creation", which will in the end, fulfill God's Divine purpose that He had planned for us since the beginning of time.

This question cannot be entertained because it is totally false.
Rock and roll is not Christian!
Hard core rap music is not Christian.
Riches are not Christian... nor is the love of money!
Stocks are not Christian!
Open sexuality and fornication is not Christian!
Greed and selfishness is not Christian!
