Are they the same?
I have noticed that my contacts are usually neutral and don't differentiate between atheists and christians for picking best answer, they pick what they think is best answer.

Weasel good point.

Anyone who says atheists is ridiculously wrong. Anyone that says Christians is ridiculously wrong. People on Yahoo Answers pick the answer that bests suits their agenda. I'd be surprised if there was 5% of the people around here with an open mind.
Most questions are asked with answers already in mind.

Most votes on the best answer will be fly-by voters who will frequently pick the first answer just to get the point as quickly as possible. The number of people who have actually read the answers and made a decision will be relatively small.
I don't have demographics on the fly-bys but I think it likely that religion plays no part in this points-gaming behaviour.

It has nothing to do with religion as to the person who is the most neutral. I've seen very opinionated and very non-biased decisions.
But, I have to give my hats off to the Pagans and Wiccans on this. They seem to do a better job than either the Christians or the Atheists.

I think we are a little biased. I choose best answer usually by the amount of information, or if it made me smile, or if there are lots of good answers I sometimes pick someone that I care about.

No one is neutral. Everyone are biased. Everyone starts with presuppositions. for instance:
The Atheist says there is no God.
The Christian says there is a God.
The better question is "Who has the best bias?"

i do no longer in my view attack the Bible for a similar reason i do no longer attack Shakespeare, that is in basic terms literature. no longer something extra. i'm prepared approximately how human beings interpret the Bible however, a similar way i'm interested in Nostradamus, or the Oracle at Delphi. It says plenty approximately us as people. i'll show out on social accumulating why i do no longer think in it in case you inquire from me to however. darkman: ok, that became into in basic terms humorous.

Tough call. I would say neither, for the most part.
There are some exceptions, though. I have atheist contacts that have chosen Christians for BA, and I have Christian contacts that have chosen atheists or Wiccans for BA.

Why have you not noticed the non christian/atheist answers?

I just picked a best answer from a priestist. I am a christian and I liked hers best. So it goes both ways, doesn't matter what you believe.
