Religion is degrading to humanity.

Actually quite the contrary is true. We atheists prefer to be call humanists.
Humanism is a philosophy of life inspired by humanity and guided by reason. It provides the basis for a fulfilling and ethical life without religion.
Humanists make sense of the world using reason, experience and shared human values.
Humanists see no convincing evidence for gods, the supernatural, or life after death.
Humanists believe that moral values are properly founded on human empathy and scientific understanding.
Humanists believe we must live this life on the basis that it is the only life we'll have -- that, therefore, we must make the most of it for ourselves, each other, and our world.
Humanist philosophies have arisen separately in many different cultures over many thousands of years. Whether or not they use the term humanism, tens of millions of Americans and hundreds of millions of people around the world agree with the humanist philosophy of living a happy and productive life based on reason and compassion.

That's terrible to say. We're all human beings, and as a Christian, I believe we were all created equal by God. There are some Atheists who are very rude and disrespectful on Y!A, but you find that in any group in the country/world. Case in point -- the "Christian" who made the statement in your question. Of course we all have our bad moments (esp. me!). But rest assured, whoever said that was not speaking for all Christians.

No, but I'm not Christian.
This shouldn't be for just Christians, it should be for everyone.
Did you know that Atheists are the most discriminated against group in America?
No joke.
I'm agnostic but my best friend's atheist.
People who say they're a disgrace are a disgrace themselves, and may God have mecy on thier souls.
