These are all claims that I've heard over the last couple of months in R&S. Which is most accurate? least accurate? Do you believe any or all of them are true? I certainly hope not...
All atheists believe in evolution
All terrorists are Muslims
All Christians are ignorant
All non-Christians follow Satan

I don't believe any of them are totally true...
I don't know any athiests that believe in creation.. if they did, I guess that would make them non-athiests... but I also don't know any athiests that don't believe in evolution... but I don't know everyone.. so I can't say how accurate this one is.. pretty true.. perhaps top on the list as far as accurate...
All terrorists are Muslims.. not even close.. some are Christians.. Weren't the Nazi's Christians?... Gang Members in Los Angeles (or any city).. hmmm... close to the bottom of the list for accuracy...
All Christians are ignorant... this one is absolutely true.. since EVERYONE is ignorant about SOMETHING.. top of the list...
All non-Christians follow Satan.. tough one.. I believe that if you are not following Jesus Christ then you are being deceived by Satan.. but I guess that doesn't mean you are following him by choice.. (by the way, Satan does not want you to have a choice)

If anyone of these are close to being true, I would say the first one. Atheists don't believe in God so the vast majority have some type of evolution as a belief.
The rest are far out in left field. I know many non-Christians who do not follow Satan, but are not a party to organized religion.

Not all atheists believe in evolution
Not every terrorist is a Muslim
Many, but not all, Christians are ignorant
Non-Christians are other religions too, so they don't necessarily follow Satan
Whilst a minority bulletin board or forum may show your statements to have some truth, they are not the complete picture of the world we live in, and cannot be held as a true reflection of society.

It's pretty safe to say that "absolutes" like "always", "never", "all" or "none" - tend to make a statement false.
All of these statements are false.
However -
Some athiests - I believe it's safe to say MOST athiests - believe in evolution.
Some terrorists are Muslims.
Some Christians are ignorant.
And some non-Christians follow Satan (but probably a small percentage)
Namaste!

Although none are accurate, I would say that there are probably more atheists that believe in evolution than there are Muslim terrorists, ignorant Christians or Satanic non-Christians.

None of those are true. They are all ignorant and stupid. I know a few atheists who have never thought about evolution or creation or otherwise. I don't know any Muslims personally, but the one's I have met didn't try to kill me. All Christian's are ignorant? I looked into arguments for AND against and looked into the roots of the Bible myself. Plus, what person would call C.S. Lewis ignorant? As for non-Christians following Satan? More ignorance (ironically enough) on the part of Christians. I like what C.S. Lewis said. There is some truth to ALL religions if you look deep enough into them.

All are not true. Nevertheless, I confess to sin #3. I am frequently guilty of generalizing all Christians as ignorant. It's just that so many of them have obviously had so little education I know they can't even begin to understand how truly backward they really are. ....and they push me beyond endurance.... Yes, I'm making lame excuses.
I wish to apologize to all the Christians I have certainly offended these last few weeks. I am truly sorry I was unable to control my judgmental inclinations and my vicious prose. I shall endeavor to be less aggressive and respect your right to your own opinions. I'm sorry I behaved badly and I shall try to do better in the future.
To all my R&S friends: I'll need your help to keep this promise because I have a long and violent history with far too many Christian bigots and I can't maintain my objectivity about them anymore. I do, however, wish to overcome this failing of mine so, please speak up when I start to slide down that slippery slope..... Thank you.

None of them are true.
I notice several answerers are still bound up in the idea that if you're an Atheist, you must therefore only believe in evolution and vice versa. Is the world really so cut and dry? Every day that goes by here I lose more and more of my faith in humanity. Too many people see the world in black and white, with no allowable shades of grey. Why is that? When did it become us against them, our ideals against theirs? Or has it always been this way, this bad, and I just never noticed it before? I'm sorry - it's just really depressing to me sometimes that we can never find any sort of common ground.

All Atheists do not believe in evolution. ( most do however)
All Terrorists are not Muslim. ( Although a lot of over the top Christians think they are)
99.9% Of Christians are ignorant, condescending and just plain rude.
All non-Christians do not follow Satan. ( Unless of course your a Christian, then you believe this)

In order most inaccurate to least inaccurate:
All non-Christians follow Satan
All terrorists are Muslims
All atheists believe in evolution
All Christians are ignorant
They are all misleading because they all are generalizations.
