i'm an athiest and i don't practice hate. sure i dislike some people and don't agree with some ideas but i feel that hating just brings negative energy upon yourself and theres so much more to life than hate, besides life is short and i dont believe there's anything after death.
but to tell you teh absolute truth, i do hate something; judging people before you know them.....why do you just assume that because someone doesnt belive in a god or follow a specific religion that they must hate. catholics hate gays even though jesus supposedly loves all right?

Being an athiest, you are supposed to practice hate? Ive been wrong all these years. I thought COMMON SENSE was what I was practicing/preaching

I don't think athiests hate, I just think they get tired of the bible thumpers. Religious people who always are talking about fantasy worlds where angels and gods wander around get boring REALLY fast. Atheists live in the here and now, not in the "what if".

The vast majority of atheists are wonderful people. Forcing someone to believe primitive myths by a bunch of goat herders is hate. Discriminating based on gender, race or sexuality is hate. And it is the Christians who do that.

Almost all of them.
We may argue with nonbelievers using logic and reason, but very few (almost none) use hate.
There are no atheists terrorists, no atheists are bombing churches, killing doctors or burning health clinics. There are no atheist suicide bombers, no atheists are protesting when their constitutional rights are protected, no atheist riots, no atheists murdering people because god told them to, no atheist mass suicides, and so on....
How many atheists are publicly hating groups such as homosexuals? Atheists don't quote the bible to endorse slavery (as the churches did before the civil war), they don't quote the bible to argue against women's rights (the church was one of the biggest opponents to the women's rights movement), they don't endorse the holocaust (The Vatican and the protestant churches both officially supported the Nazi regime and their discrimination of Jews), and so on...
Consider also that atheists/agnostics are about 14% of the US population (American Religious Identification Survey) yet are only about 0.209% of the prison population. Meanwhile christians by far dominate the prisons... so who are the hateful ones?

Atheist's are not inherently hateful.
I know a lot of hateful people claiming to be Christians. I've only know a few Atheist's personally and not one was hateful. They were nice people. They all had a live and let live attitude and didn't express their opinions unless asked or criticized.

My wife is an atheist and doesn';t practice hate, but let's talk about Christians who practice hate against atheists.
I have seen, on this very site, in this area, a letter from a "Christian" who stated that when he was in heaven, he would be looking down and seeing all the atheists, burning for all eternity in the fiery pits of hell, and would laugh at their misery.
So much for "Christian compassion."
"Let he who is without sin....."

When's the last time an atheist flew a plane into a building or did a suicide bombing, or burned burned people at the stake (a little farther back in history but still valid I think ) in the name of a god or religion?

I'm not a christian or an atheist but I do know that being an atheist doesn't mean you practice hate, your question attacks atheists.... who's practicing hate?
