I think there are some typos. Should it be:
Who is more brave: A theist that fears no man but God or an atheist who fears no god but man?
My fear of man prompts me to find solutions such as education. A theist who is afraid of god will forever(?) stay obedient. Brave is the person who overcomes fear.

What?
Neither is more brave, and I'm not certain the question is exactly what you intened it to be.
A theist who fears no man, but fears god is simply someone who honors god. The Biblical word "fear" does not mean the sense of dread one experiences when afraid, but rather expresses respect.
An atheist who fears no-one would have no fear of man. Because they believe there is no god, they have no fear there either.
A lack of fear is not an indication of bravery. Bravery is the ability to act in the face of fear; to do what must be done in the face of danger.

How can an atheist fear God? Or did you mean, an atheist that fear no man nor God?

The atheist .... because he does not believe the is a god, he fear no man and fear nothing.

So why would an atheist fear a god he knows doesn't exist? Your question makes little sense.

Too contradictory,why would an Atheist fear a God that He/She does not believe exists!

The one that thinks that God is a man is worse off. Everyone that looks to a total male entity as "God", to right wrongs, are subject to Gehenna. (There is no hope in man.)

I dunno, but I don't fear anyone or anything except that dude that stands on the street corner talking to himself and screaming at people as they go by. Oddly enough, he screams about god/devil/hell and such so I guess he's the religious type or he's just mental as all get out (or both!). Either way, the dude is creepy.

Neither, the brave one is the half-retarded monkey who only fears his reflection.

Who fear none and repose in self. Fear is not the nature of self.
