A lot of Atheists know about their religion and others but turn them down because they don't belive in them. Is that so hard to belive? I was once a Christian, but I don't belive in God anymore, if God wants me to be a Christian why does he allow me to have my own belifes and religion sepreat from his and the Bible?

I'm an Atheist.

Because Christians have always and will always feel threatened by those who do not believe in what they do. there is 'safety in numbers' insofar as religion. The more they can get to 'join' them, the better they feel.
For example, if I said I believe in the Purpler People Eater, and that he lived on Pluto, you'd think I was nuts. But if I was able to convince enough people to believe the same way I do, I would feel more comfortable in my belief.

Good question. Atheists simply believe in ONE FEWER god than Christians do. It's NOT a big deal for us, just like not believing in or worshiping Zeus is not a big deal for them.

Why can't we atheists believe and accept that Christians do not want our lack of faith? Double edged sword. If not for conflict, we'd all be single-cell organisms. Believe me, we Atheists can handle ourselves in any Theist argument. Please don't worry yourself on our account.

Xtianists can't handle their own reality, how do you expect them to deal with yours too?
gelfling- no gods minus one god? Silly at best.

For the same reason that atheists keep hounding Christians and other believers on this forum.

They're basically saying, "I don't understand your position, and I'm not going to be bothered to learn about it, therefore I'm going to judge you negatively."

Because they cannot conceive of anybody learning about their religion and rejecting it.
