without the christian assuming the atheist is ignorant of their faith. Or from pitying the atheist, and suggesting that they will be sorry in hell?

Not likely. Christians assume so much of atheism and atheists which is completely incorrect. Most atheists I know grew up in strong Christian or Jewish homes and already know the drill of the God belief and some atheists I know actually know scripture better than many who claim the bible as His inspired word.
There are dumb atheists and dumb Christians. Both are a shame to their respective communities. Dumb as in uneducated in what they state they believe to be or not to be.

You are right, there are some people who do that in here. But if you will admit the truth, there are also some atheists in here that also do that to Christians. They say we can't think for our selves. I just saw a question where an atheist said that he felt sorry for us for believing in a non existent God. We are told that we are dumb, brain washed and mine less. that we follow blindly. Can an atheist ask a question with out telling us how ignorant we are. If you do not believe that there is a hell to burn in, then why does it bother you if someone tells you that you will go to a non existant place?

Well, I am neither an athiest nor a Christian! I like to say that I take positive aspects from all religions and make them my own to be civilized and content in my civilization within life's circumstance! So I get to talk to everyone and get "labeled" by the ones who think that I am not like them as an opposite, which I am not? Go figure.
In other words, if I answer a Christian, with a non Christian like answer, disavowing Jesus's infallibility for instance, then I get labelled an athiest, which I am not,....... and if I answer an athiest, disavowing them of any thought that I could be a professor of no "Controlling Beingness", I get labeled as a "Christian"!? Even with clarification as to my beliefs, apparently most people are taught that you are either a Christian,..... or an athiest! They are not smart enough to figure out that there are so many other few and far betweens, that they might not want to spend their time counting them, and that there is actually no proof for anyone's personal beliefs that knowledge cannot back up with science!
For instance, we have before us now, scientific proof of a man like creature that existed 1.7 million years ago!? I think they said Adam and Eve were a few thousand years ago, the longest stretch to creation of mankind in the Bible? Now if that does not hold up, what is the functional truth of it all?

uncomplicated misunderstandings: a million) Atheists are no longer a unified team, they have no undemanding schedule from now on than people who don't have self belief in crystal healing. 2) uncomplicated misunderstandings and misrepresentation of evolution. We did no longer evolve from monkeys, we arose from a shared ancestor of great Apes. 3) Believing that the words of folk on Yahoo solutions are representative of a team as an entire. in short, many common trolling approaches.

If you are a TRUE Christian you will answer an Athiests question, you might not get the answer you want to hear, and I don't mean that to sound rude, but it would depend on the question. We are supposed to treat others as we would like to be treated, and Jesus never turned anyone away. He even put an ear back on a Jew that did not believe in him.Before he was sent to prison and then hung, and he knew it was going to happen all along. I'm sure I have ran into Athiests on the street and didn't even know it, much less they knew what I believed. God loves everyone, we're the ones that choose to love him back.

Yep, I a sure ....... what is the question.
If you are to ask me a question pertaining to my belief, I will answer you and give you point of reference, not only my opinion, but I will give you case law in the form of a verse in the Bible.
If I am to ask you a question as an atheist, what will you point of reference be? or will it merely be your opinion based on your own experience.
I don't and will never pity an atheist and even suggest that they will be sorry in hell. Judgment does not belong to me. We all have choices and based on your choice you will be judged by God.
Peace and may His light shine on you today and enlighten your understanding.
Take care

Ask the question, and you will probably get what you've been getting.
The thing is; who really took the time to answer your question? And was your question polite? I find that there are some here who ask rude questions. Not all of them, not all the time ( though there are some!) , but how willing are you to see a well planned answer? I find that Atheists are looking for Atheist answers, and Christians are looking for Christian answers.
So what are you going to ask?

I love answering questions from nice open minded people of any belief or lack thereof. You find me an atheist one of those, and I would be happy to answer a question. Though it would be really hard for me to restrain from damning them to everlasting hell and assuming they are lost ignorant souls who deserve to die a fiery afterlife...but I shall do my best. *insert sarcasm*
Seriously though, I read the same questions and the same answers, we have many intelligent, open and tolerant Christians who post on here, Im surprised you have missed all of them.

Sure! I am not going to pity someone that has made his/her choice in life. I'm not responsible for the choice that someone else makes. I'm not going to be held accountable for it. I won't answer questions where someone is obviously just saying something to be hateful or rude. It's just a level of immaturity that I'm not going to stoop to support.

Well, of course. I wouldn't assume that atheists are ignorant of my faith (unless, of course, they actually prove that they are). I hang out with a lot of atheists, and in my experience, they're often better read in theology then many believers are. I don't waste my time pitying non-believers. Your lack of belief is your choice, and your business. What I think about it is irrelevant.
