Ok well I'm a Pagan so I'll go with Christians as my 'natural enemy'
1. Christians who follow the spirit of their religion are often nice kind people who try and be tolerant of others and also try to help people.
2. Those who take the bible literally are arrogant and insulting about how they believe they are the only ones who will not burn in their religions hell when they die.

I am a Christian, but I was raised by my parents who were atheists. Let me tell you about them. They were the finest, most honest, and giving people I have ever met. They treated every body with kindness. I have been a pastor's wife, and a Bible College teacher, and I must say unfortunately, Christians are brutal. I have been ridiculed for not being a certain way, and have been told that I'm unsubmissive, and the list goes on and on and on. I think the saddest thing about Atheists, is that they don't see that what they believe in is a religion also. It is a religion of unbelief in a God, yet they adhere to that belief staunchly as if they were religious. I think that they should be more open to the spiritual, and at least acknowledge that it could possibly be so, and not to be such an ally against God. Also, when I became a Christian, my parents weren't negative. In fact my father said, "you keep on believing in that."

I don't know if there's a predominance in any other religions, but jews definitely don't donate. They're suppose to keep their bodies untouched when they die; many of the more extreme don't even pierce their ears, and tattoos are not allowed. Try reading up on the instances of Palestinians killed whose bodies are returned by the IDF with organs missing, or of the Scottish and Ukranian tourists who died in Israel and their bodies were also returned with missing organs. There are also Israelis who have travelled to China (a country known for executing prisoners on spec to "harvest" organs for transplant tourists), India and many other nations in hopes of buying "surplus" organs from the poor. When a person sells a kidney, their body is often weakened and the person may not be able to be physically able again without medical care. Thus, when a poor person in a third world country sells an organ for a few thousand dollars, they may think they are getting a windfall, but in reality, they will be unable to work due to ill health and often become a burden on their families for the rest of their lives. Undoubtedly, some will respond with calls of "anti-semitism" for my saying this, but I'm just reporting the facts. Or is Haaretz (the source of all three articles) an anti-semetic newspaper? .

Like pretty much everyone else around here who isn't Christian - it's the Christians that I have the most problems with.
1. Christians, when they are following the example of Christ, are some of the most gentle, giving, caring people I have ever met. Most of the liberal Christians (IMHO) are actually doing a better job of being Christ-like than the fundamentalist fire-breathers.
2. A lot of Christians find out that you're not a Christian and assume that you hate Christianity and want to destroy or discredit their religion. This leads to some serious hostility on their part, and it's pretty hard not to respond in kind. In actuality, I'm perfectly happy to let them do their own thing, as long as they return the favor.

Atheist saying something nice about Christians:
The reality is that most Christians don't want a theocracy.
Quite a few of their charities actually accomplish good.
Some of them are taking a stand against the kooks we despise.
Quite a few are honest enough to admit that they don't know some things about their god.
I've already made long lists of the things that annoy me about both groups.
Atheist saying good things about Muslims:
Most Muslims aren't that fond of theocarcy either.
More than a few secular Muslims are actively trying to reduce the influence of the fanatics...they just don't get much press.
Secular Muslims are often quite reasonable, despite the bad rap the loons are giving them.

I am a Christian.
Atheists,Pagans: Like others have pointed out are some of the most passionate people about their beliefs. A lot of them are caring good citizens.
I, like others have said don't really hate anyone, but that said, I do get frustrated when they insult my intelligence. They complain about how "Christians" force our views down their throats, but the opposite is true. For example- I work at a prison and a fellow employee practices Wicca. He brings his tarot cards to work and talks about his Coven, yet when I mention God in a conversation I need to just leave all that stuff at the door.
I do agree both sides need to be a bit nicer(CHRISTIANS should know better), but Christian or not we are still human and make mistakes.

To all Atheists,
1. One Thing that is great about you is that you have a great understanding of science (For the most part).
2. What bothers me about you is that you don't believe in an all powerful god, what are the odds that a planet had the right temperature, place, and got hit by an asteroid to give it a perfect tilt and that asteroid circled it and made it stable, and this planet is located to the far outer region of a galaxy where it won't get sucked into the black hole, and this planet just happened to be struck by lightning that formed acids that evolved life that turned into fish, into amphibians, into reptiles, into mammals, into man, and man evolved language and a brain that is like that of the computer I'm using now, only it can be on for 100's of years, never shuts off, and runs only on dead animals and plants? Now...what are the odds?

I am a Christian...
To atheists...
1) Being an atheist is not a crime, it is simply a choice of belief. I know many atheists who are just the nicest people.
2) I do not hate you and nor should any Christian. The Christian faith calls us to love everyone, no matter how weird that sounds. I simply am concerned when atheists, and anyone who does not have a personal relationship with Jesus, reject God, they in turn forfeit a meaningful life on earth and a life hereafter. I refuse to simply acknowledge our difference in doctrine because that would be like doing nothing to save people trapped in a burning building.

As a Pagan, naturally it's Christians that I'm usually "set up against". Many atheists seem to be rather fond of Pagans, probably because we piss off the Christians so much.
1. There are many Christians who are good and decent people, including many members of my own family, who don't shoot off their mouths and pretend to be superior to all others.
2. There are many MORE Christians who are arrogant, hypocritical creeps who love to proselytize, threaten, and otherwise attack all other religions at every opportunity. That's not name calling. That's the truth.
Hey, you asked.

As a Christian I suppose it would be athiests...
They are really great at knowing the word of God and keeping us accountable to acting and living out what we believe...
Sometimes like some other Christians they get blindsided with small details that are hurtful to some members of our society and ask questions that prompt biogtry answers from Christians, causing more hurt to certain groups...
(yes as you may well have noticed I did a great job at targeting both Christians and Athiests in my critiscm, Christians should ask God for a Spirit of Discernment, don't enter here without it...)
