I always hear them saying "christians are ignorant", I always have to see a disrespectful answer by them especially towards Christians, what did a Christian ever do to them?. They're very disrespectful and I had enough of them, and I must agree with them when they say christians are bad etc but they're worser than any other Christian. They're also so closed-minded & judgmental.

Because they are flesh and do not have Gods Holy spirit!

"They're also so closed-minded & judgmental."
That's just promoting a stereotype. One reason why many atheists/agnostics turn away or have turned away from Christianity because of how pushy a religion it has recently become. In a society where tolerance levels are slowly decreasing, man groups - atheists, gays, muslims, etc. - are feeling pressure in an increasingly Christian environment. Some take it out of hand and accuse Christians of "forcing the religion" on them. Of course, Christians then chime in saying "no we're not" and so begins the "yuhhuh-nuhuh" kindergarten fight. Also, "Why are Atheists so bad and ignorant?" is probably not helping your case, because you later ask "...what did a Christian ever do to them?" You've just done one - generalizing. DON'T DO IT. You don't want people to generalize about you - don't go and be a hypocrite.
If you'd like to discuss this further, you can by all means email me.

Close minded and judgemental... kind of like the Christians who tell them on a daily basis they are going to hell and treating them differently because they don't believe exactly the same as them?
That would make anyone angry, right? And yet I have yet to see an atheist in the REAL world act the way they do on the internet. So quit your whining. Everyone is disrespectful on the internet. Beliefs of lack thereof have nothing to do with it.

I don't agree. The stuff that comes from the Christian side(*) tends to be so much more powerful than the stuff that comes from the atheist side. "You're going to an eternal lake of fire" is so much more powerful than "God is an imaginary sky pixie". Neither are nice, and neither are necessary, but c'mon, which is really worse? They're not on the same level.
(*) = Yes, I understand that not all Christians do it. But some do.

They are neither bad nor ignorant. They see the world working in a different way. Just as I (as a Christian) see it different to the way you (as a Christian) see it.

Perhaps you do not know what the word ignorant means.
> They're also so closed-minded & judgmental.
This is a good example of the pot calling the kettle black.

It's the spirit within ones heart and soul--not the person. The body is but a vessel here on earth. Though one chooses to walk in darkness, Jesus told us to lead them to his light so they can see where they're going, but the choice is theirs and we get to say "we warned you" Though we are persecuted for this, we are also blessed for reaching out in grace and love.
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake,
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Matthew 5: 11,12) Don't let the spirit within someone discourage you:)

Bad??? My puppy is bad. I have to smack his nose when he chews on my leg. I don't think an atheist would do this (if he did, I could have him arrested, but I'd try the smack on the nose first.). People who call other people "bad" and "ignorant" should consider their words for a long time before uttering them. Otherwise, they are referring only to themselves. Lack of empathy is a major cause. People don't realize that others have minds much like theirs and that their words will upset them just as the same words directed at them would.

I give them one credit and that is they have enough sense to know Prophet Jesus pbuh! is not God and it is just stupid and doubtful to think this to be so that is why they hate religion it is not of any thing conceivable when dealing with a christian in worshiping Christ as God they are correct slamming the Christians that do so!

"what did a Christian ever do to them?"
Are you kidding?
Theists, especially christians, try to control and restrict us based on their views. If all christians stop crusading against science, culture, art, sex and sexuality, religious freedom and such, and stop telling everybody else they're going to be tortured throughout eternity unless they join you, I assure you that you won't encounter nearly as much hostility.

They are ignorant. They think infantile god fantasies are real.
Religion breeds stupidity and we are under no obligation to give stupidity respect. Respect is earned.
The truly closed minded are those that believe something real for which there is no credible objective for.
