Atheists say that they hate Christians because of pro christian policies?

Question

What pro christian policy has effected you so far? I cant think of one that has been implemented. So whats the real reason that you hate Christians?

I wanted to know a policy that effects you. Not one that you dont like.

Answer 1

It's not Christians I hate. It's not "pro-Christian" policies, either. It's the "Non-Anyone else" things that "get my goat".

Examples include the ban on gay marriage in the United States, and the ban on Stem Cell research in the United States.

Answer 2

Hate is a Christian thing. I don't hate Christians at all. I do hate the way they generalize to make points. What is a Pro Christian Policy anyway. That would be so against our constitution. AND would that be unsupportive of all the troops who died in justifiable wars to preserve it? Implementing Pro christian policy's is just something that candidates use as bait to get all the christians to vote for them. A good question would be what policy were you hoping for and why is important to have other people have to live by your standards?

Answer 3

A policy need not have been implemented already in order to be a threat. Better to stop it now before it sets us back a few centuries in terms of enlightenment.

I need not be personnally affected by a policy to detest its purpose. If it affects my country as a whole, then it affects me as well. I fully believe that ANY two people should be allowed to marry, and I'm not even gay. Just because I am a man, does not mean I cannot comprehend the dangers of efforts to prohibit abortions outright.

There are SOOOO many others. Abstinence-only sex ed. As previously mentioned, stem-cell research. A president who claimed to have been ordained by God. It goes down the line to agencies like the Justice Department, where judges were (apparently) inappropriately fired for not ruling in ways that would advance a conservative agenda.

I really hope you were not wording your question in order to trap people into saying no policies directly affected them, therefore implying they had no right to complain about them. If that is the case, you are a disgrace to both your God and your country.

lisa, we are atheists because we are NOT afraid of God. We don't deny that God exists because we are afraid that he does. That wouldn't make a lick of sense. You are projecting the fear that you personally experience.

Answer 4

i am an atheist. my mum and brother are christians so i cant say i hate them.i believe as long as you are kind, honest, generous, loving and approachable for help there is really no need for this tag. christianity to me resembles hate, greed, intolerance, racism, bigots, and genuinely a destructive race. you only have to look at the state of the world to see what religion does. its the most DESTRUCTIVE fairy tale ever invented. do christians believe in santa claus and the tooth fairy? its all the same to me...the church owns half the country. if they cared they could sell some and support the unfortunate people trying to find the next meal. a lot do. The SALVOS are the greatest! Im not talking about the 6 % of wonderful, kind, caring christians. Im talking about the other %94 who have absolutely no christian characteristics at all.
my other belief is that most people find christianity in a fear.
when they think theylll die, or are thrown in jail or when they are at their last ounce of life. christianity has saved a lot of people in this state so in this way it is positive..the majority of people i have come across behaving like arseholes, or being dishonest have suprisingly......been christian..
god speed!!!!!!

Answer 5

Who are all these atheists who supposedly hate Christians? I'm marrying a Christian - I don't hate them. I dislike their religion, as I do every other religion, but I hate no one. I hate when people can't keep their religion off my body, out of my schools, and out of my bedroom. You Christians need to try to understand that. I don't hate you - I don't even know you. Stop crying persecution and "Oh, atheists hate all Christians", already. Try being an atheist for a day and see how persecution really goes down.

Answer 6

I don't hate anyone, and when I was an atheist I didn't hate anyone...

Despite being married by a minister in a church, my marriage is not given the same rights as a marriage performed in a Christian church with a Christian definition of marriage.

Christian special rights are a terrible thing

Answer 7

On 9/11 I was working within a block -- one city block of the World Trade Center. As soon as the area was open to the public about 3 weeks after the tragedy it was flooded with Christian groups. At first, I thought they were there to do charity work.

It soon turned out, however, that they were not. They did not bring a single blanket, or food, or anything warm to wear for rescue workers or relatives of the missing. Instead, they preached and tried to convert people. Moreover, they were agressive, even physical about it.

Every day when I left the office to go to lunch, I had to pass through thongs of missionaries blocking my path, grabbing me by the hands, tugging on my clothes. The first few times, I politely refused, explaining that I was Jewish, and no, I don't "want to hear about our Lord Jesus Christ in these difficult times". Then I would just briskly walk past them with a curt "no". Finally, when that didn't work, I told them that I was disgusted by their opportunism in targeting emotionally fragile people; that I thought they were no better than the telemarketer who called me on September 12 trying to sell me life insurance and another telemarketer who called on September 13 trying to sell cemetery space; and that as much as I resented Vladimir Putin, I thought he was right to kick Evangelical missionaries out of Russia. They responded by saying that I was directly responsible for 9/11. After exchanging these wonderful Iloveyou's, we both made a sensible decision to treat each other like lepers from that point on.

I don't hate you, guys. But for a while after that, I was pretty pissed off.

Answer 8

Where have you ever seen an atheist say they hate Christians? You bear false witness. Be a man, admit it, apologize and repent.

I would comment that the defunding of stem cell research is a good example of "pro christian policy" that has adversely affected almost everyone.

Answer 9

I have never heard an atheist say that. I do think Christians do purport a number of silly ideas, but we live in a state where religion is not supported by the state so I don't know what you are talking about.

Answer 10

I've never heard atheists say that they hate christians; perhaps individuals, but certainly not as a policy.

On the other hand, I hear constantly from Christians that athesists are doomed, posessed, demonic, out to destroy christianity, and that they are othewise dangerous vile creatures.

Policies that (it's affect, not effect; to say that christianity in any way effects atheism would mean that christianity helps or promote atheism) affect atheists include the law adding "In God We Trust" to the currency in the 1950's, adding "Under God" to the pledge of alliegance in the 1950's, the constant attempts to include religious doctrine in science classes through legislation, the constant attempts to legislate religous morality, the fights against civil rights for LGBT folk based on religious reasons, the eternal striving to keep Judeo-Christian symbols in courts of law and other public places, to the exclusion of symbols of other religions.

Christianity claims with one side of its mouth that it supports freedom of religion, but with the other side it strives to hinder those other faiths. Christianity says with one side of its mouth that it supports scientific research, but with the other side silences any science that in any way contradicts doctrine and strives to prevent any research that threatens doctrine.

Atheists don't hate Christians, but they are threatened by Christian attitude and ignorance. They do hate the air of ignorant superiority posessed by many Christians. They do hate Christian bigotry. They do hate the Christian attitude of "All men are created equally, except for Pagans, atheists, homosexuals ...."
