Haha, i believe, at face value, this question is a valid attempt to bring importance to a rather insignificant subject, but regardless, it is still very inconsequential. Atheists are labeled as evil by religious people just as much as Catholics believe all Hindus are going to hell and Muslims believe Jews deserve the wrath of Allah. All one can do is respect, and although thats the hardest thing one can do in regards to religion, it is all we can do. As with the many forms of religion, there are many different forms of morality, and no one person can judge what is 'bad' of another morality. It all about perspective, which is the one thing we need to respect amoung every human individual, for perspective is completely and utterly individual. But this question, on a much deeper level, is quite philosophical. In a sense, individual perspective is a form of blindness (where as one cannot understand anothers actions because their perspective, their life was formed and grown completely different than that other individual) and no matter how hard someone tries you will never be able to see through the eyes or another, truly experience their life, and you are blind to what others can see. In the end, personal perspective makes the whole world devastatingly ignorant.

The answer to that question is yes.
If we believe what we see, without using Wisdom, then we might as well be blind
If we believe what we hear, without using Wisdom, then we might as well be deaf.
A person makes a mistake and another person finds fault in the one that made the mistake. Which of the two persons has done the most injustice, the person making the mistake or the person that found fault in the other person. Think about this!
Good or evil is only discerned through wisdom.
The Light of Righteousness is an attribute of the Creator and only those that have seen the face of the Creator, can bask in that light. Is anyone in that category present?
Mudslinging is a quality of a pig, it would be advisable to not take on the quality of a pig!
And i reiterate, yes we are blind!

Not all people make those accusations Shadower:
I for one don't think Atheist are any more evil than Christians.
Both as you say have people in their belief system that commit evil, but if you went to a library and found a couple books that were bad, why would you call the whole library bad or evil.
The only difference I see is that Atheists have turned their backs on God and Christians embrace God. None are less in the eyes of God. He is not a respecter of persons but as the sun shines on all without judgment, so does God's ever lasting Love. We turn our backs on God, but God is always waiting for us to turn back to him. He will never forsake us. But if you are an Atheist, that will not mean anything. It is our choice to except God as a Creator of all things. I would like to know from an Atheist who created all that is? But their answer cannot be proven either.

I for one do not label any atheist as "evil" if a supposed Christian is doing charitable work and is languishing in the praise that they have gotten then the work they do was never to help anyone else, it was to fill there own selves with pride and a "look at me" thing.
The bible says not to brag or even mention charitable works as this will cheapen the act and acknowledge that it was for reasons other than helping another soul.

Your question started out brilliant.
But atheists aren't seen as evil, necessarily. Just try bringing up the religious view as opposed to non-deity evolution in a scientific debate, and see who is mislabeled. Creationists, especially those who found their beliefs on faith, are highly persecuted in those areas.
And "religious peoples" aren't bathed in righteousness, either. Have you seen the way the jihadists are portrayed on CNN, BBC? Hardly "righteous", at all. They're looked down on, as most religious extremists should -- whether you're Catholic, Hindu, Muslim, Protestant, or Confuscianist.

They say all non christians are evil because they refuse to believe in the christian greedy, selfish, dictating god. non christians would rather think for themselves and not run with the other sheep who believe a book of fables. They say they are evil even when the non christian has lived a life far cleaner than their own because it sickens them that non believers can boldly live and act and answer for those acts without bending knee and begging forgiveness.

We are blind because we look instead of see, if we see, we would see that nothing is important, that is not to say it doesn't matter. Everything becomes equal, and our force emanates just as everyone else's force emanates. The problem is that we wait for someone to turn the lights on, yet no one is there. We must turn them on ourselves.

Jesus is some dead guy that people for some reason want to believe in. It is an insult to God the almighty when people put Jesus on the same level. If you give me a thumbs down you accept what I say as truth.

if were all god's children, then God shouldnt send people to hell for being risen in an athiest family where they cant help it. He has a plan for all of us, even if it brings people to god without labeling it chirstian.
