In other words, how much do you personally strive to be genuine and authentic and desire that in others? To what extent would you expect (as opposed to desire) that in others?

Not only do I strive to be genuine and authentic myself, I expect that of everyone, regardless of what religious beliefs they have. I'm confused by this question really, why is it addressed only to Atheists?

It's more like how much does not being genuine turn me off. I find most people are genuine so it's sort of the norm. I actually don't expect much of people unless they're my children, I pay them for goods and services, or I'm in distress and unable to help myself.

I put a lot of value on being truthful and kind. I find little use for People who are Liars. To thine own self be true and all of that. As a Man I personally see it as being just that "A Man". I do not believe that you are a real Man if you are a Liar.

I don't know what you're trying to get at, but to answer your question, I put a great deal of value on being genuine. And I expect that from others.
This has nothing to do with my religious beliefs, or lack thereof.

I place a very high value on it. A preference for truth over lies is a necessary starting point for any honest moral system.

Truth is what I use. I use it bluntly and with complete disregard for people's feelings.
I absolute demand it in my friends. I yell at them when they attempt to pretty something up.

Better be careful because God is truth, So you are asking a so called athiest if he is genuine and authentic. That sounds like truth yourself at leaset. this is whee the whole manifestation takes place. Good luck staying athiest once the truth hs been revealed to you...
