Got a link to your questions where atheists were mean to you?
I try to answer questions honestly from my godless perspective. I try not to say anything negative about people's beliefs.

Can't answer this. Your previous question are private. Could be because you ask them in a rude and unnecessarily crude way. Could be you do so in a mean-spirited way yourself. The most polite way to deal with a very rude and unrepentant guest is to be utterly rude to them until they leave, for the sake of the other guests, if not asking them directly.
You are responsible for your own feelings. Not them. They may do something, but you CHOOSE to feel bad about it. It's isn't a magic button they push, nor can one force others to act differently because you are "offended", "hurt" or "under mental strain". You are responsible for you own choices in reaction to them.
Now all this is hypothetical, and NOT meant to be a rumor about you (I have no idea what your previous posts were like, so likewise I can't judge their reaction to them justly), but should you ask this question again you might change two things:
1) give connections to prior posts.
2) if you don't like bigotry, don't use it yourself. I've seen many polite answers by people asking questions of atheists. I've also seen some real fanatics, just like religious fanatics.
Keep speaking up, regardless. Wish you had given more information so more of a tailored response was possible.

Well if you have been grieved, may I be first to apoligise in behalf of those that may have insulted you.
We are all different, and it really isn't good to lop all the members of a "group" into such a generalization based on limited exposure to them.
Observe the other answerers of this question. Making a base assumption as to their religious inclination, what could you generalize about their respective groups should you have chosen to do so?

I am not Atheist, I am a witch. I will not ever answer anyones question in a mean spirited way. But I suggest you take a look at how SOME Christians answer questions that are specifically asked of Wiccans, witches & pagans and explain why Christians expect to be treated differently.

At the heart of atheism is secular humanism, the idea that man is the center of the universe, not God.
If that is true, then the goal of every humanist/athiest is to please themselves rather than God.
Most become selfish, trying to find satisfaction by all the excess of riotess living, because of this they eventually "sear there conscience with a hot iron" (I Timothy 4:2) and at that point they don't care who they offend.
In short they don't want there universe quesioned, so that is why they are mean spirited and there retorts seem like a pack of "ravening wolves"(Matt.7:15)
(I have referenced the KJV in this answer)

It's hard to tell. According to your profile page, you've only asked two questions, and they are marked as private, so I don't know what they are or what the answers were.
So the answer is that nobody knows, and anyone pretending that they do either remembers those questions an the answers or is making unwarranted assumptions.

Because that is all they know how to do. They only know how to insult and attack non-athiests. They know they are wrong and they feel guilty for it, so that is how they get through their life, by harrassing people who actually believe in God.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
(Psalm 14:1)

Not all Atheists do. And not all of the mean questions come from Atheists. There are jerks on both sides here, and really they have more in common with each other than they have with the rest of those on their "side."
