Who is better?

Both are very similar.
Both are basking in the ocean of illusion, and enjoying it immensely.
Both have "ego" to spare!

Neither one is better. I know several atheists on here that I respect and I think respect me. Same way with the Christians. However, there are people in both groups that are just angry and can't handle someone who has a differing opinion. To me that reeks of insecurity in either themselves or their beliefs/lack of beliefs. The angry atheists don't believe a Christian can be educated or intelligent. The angry Christian can't seem to comprehend that a person can have morals and still be an atheist.

Christians follow dogma. If it was just the difference between theists and atheists, it would simply be the belief in a deity or lack thereof.

Well, using this posting as an excellent example, Christians see things very simply. Something is either better or worse, right or wrong, God's word or Satan's.
Atheists take a slightly more comprehensive view of things.

You can't go about life generalizing between "christian" and "atheist". That's a large group of people to cover.
And Atheists don't believe in any god. Not just your's. You are the only group that thinks your god is the only god out there that someone believes in. get over yourself. YOU are atheist about every other God out there except one.

St John said "how can you say you love God whom you have not seen whilst you hate your neighbour whom you can see--you are therefore a liar". The atheists do this in reverse.

In God's eyes we are all equal. So there's no difference - I'm a Roman Catholic and even though you are an athiest he loves you just a much!

No large group can be summarized or reduced like that. Meaningless question.
