I mean do u dislike them (subconsciously), ridicule them, etc? Because, something like "let them think however they want to" also indicates some kind of indifference.

I don't think I could be fair to one who doesn't believe in God to just let them continue to deny Him. I should at least share my beliefs with them. It would be indifferent to just live and let live. However, once a person states to me that they are not interested, then I have done my part.

First off I don't believe in G-d.
I think that people believe in G-d because it is our human instinct to depend on something that we believe greater than us. Such as in a young age we relly on our parents. When they are no longer there for us some people find it hard to take controll of their own lives without having an alter motive for it. Such as trying to be a good person only because the concequence is an other wise illogical and impossible place without the story book qualities of the bibble. I don't think any less of people who believe in G-d even though they very well choose to ignore evidence, but I know that they are not strong enough to break away from their safe haven. I hate it when people ridicule me for my thoughts and opinions so I don't do it to them in expectations they will return the kindness.

Oh no, I do not dislike them. There was a time in my life that I did not believe God existed. So I know how it is on that other side. I never felt the need to ridicule people if they believed in God or if they did not. Not my style.
I want to share the hope I have in Him. We all have the free will. God will leave people alone if they do not want them in their life.

I have nothing against the individual belief in god(s) in principle. However, as history has shown, these beliefs tend to get codified, become religion, and I think religion is a divisive force and a negative influence on the human race. Their tenets become static; a snapshot of the prevailing moral zeitgeist of the time. Society changes. Inevitably, these forces clash. Religion must and will lose, but the intermediate period can be frequently nasty.

I do not dislike anyone who doesn't attempt to push their faith on me. I am uncertain on this issue, and really would like to believe. I came from a very abusive father, and would take great pleasure in knowing that he is roasting in Hell right now. So, I am very open minded.
As a child of the streets, I'm sure that he was watching over me. Do I sound confused on the issue? You bet!!!

I don't believe in God.
I think it is interesting that people commit their whole lives, or even part of it, to something that is not tangible and have no proof of.
People say it's all about faith, but what if I had faith in the Spaghetti Man from Neptune because someone told me about him and I read a book on the subject.
It would make no sense and be redundant.
I feel people beleive in God because they need to have a meaning or purpose to life.

Some are not called by God yet to believe.
I think God has a plan for everyone to be taught the way he intended it to be.
When we have all be taught his way, then we will be able to make the decision to stay in his presence or to not.
It is not Gods will that any should perish. Doesn't that show that we do not all go to heaven or hell just yet when we die?

Believers do not dislike believers. In fact a believer is called to be a servant of Christ. Therefore a believer will try to share the message of Christ with those who do not believe. Many do accept the message of Christ. There are tens of thousands of conversions into Christianity every single day. God loves you.

I dont dislike them for not believing in Him,I can only pity them because they dont know or experience the glory of God.
I am not an overly religious person but I "know"

I do believe and I think that people who don't are at a different point in their journey. Not good or bad (or indifferent) just at a different point on the wheel.
