What is the primary reason Christianity hates Atheism?

Answer 1

First of all I don't "hate" Atheism or Atheists. I do think that it takes a lot of arrogance to deny even the slightest possibility that there is a higher power than ourselves. Agnostics at least say they don't know. I also get tired of atheists who say that anyone who believes in God cannot possibly be an intellectual or rational.

Answer 2

I wouldn't go so far as to say that Christianity *hates* atheism. Although I have come across many Christians who don't like the fact that atheists question their beliefs.

Answer 3

i'm no longer an atheist, yet I even have many close pals and a few kinfolk individuals who're. they do no longer hate Christianity. they only reject faith ()it somewhat is, believing in some thing for which there is not any purpose evidence) as a foundation for residing a rational existence and for coming up a valid equipment of ethics--of authentic and incorrect. Too many believers of all religions mistakenly think of that one ought to have self belief in a God, author or supernatural being so as to have an purpose equipment of morality. besides the undeniable fact that, many athiests argue that the fee of the guy human existence is the utmost fee, and that it is the fee of human existence that's the muse for all purpose innovations of authentic and incorrect. Ayn Rand--between the 20 th century's maximum favourite ethical philosophers--replaced into an athiest, and proved that a time-honored, purpose equipment of ethics replaced into achievable in line with reason on my own, with out any choose for theory in God. If God is actual only, and if he's to decide all, then He ought to have presented all those with some thing, inherent of their very nature, that helps them to discover authentic and incorrect. i think that this some thing is human reason---no longer faith.

Answer 4

I wouldn't say I personally HATE atheism. I recognise many atheists are good people. Nevertheless I think the IDEA of atheism is something that in some cases can lead to a spiritual void; just as religious fundamentalism can often leave a spiritual void.
Of course people are entitled to their opinions, and I have no interest in telling atheists they are 'hell-bound sinners,' because it's not my place to judge. No one knows the state of a soul before God. I just think that if people understood truly SPIRITUAL religion, rather than stereotyped fundamentalism, atheism would be less prevalent; and individuals would gain a new dimension to their life. Of course, if people feel they are happy without a spiritual path, then we have to respect that.

Answer 5

I think it's a misconception that Christianity hates Atheism. Just because they have opposing beliefs does not necessarily mean one hates the other.

I think a true believer will believe regardless of what the opposing side believes.

Answer 6

I'm an atheist... I try to be objective. But what has become clear to me is that, in general, atheists are as hate filled as Christians.

But something tells me that's not the answer you'll be looking for.

What you'll be looking for is how 'atheists' always side with 'reason' and 'logic' and that this somehow threatens the Christian.

This may be true to some degree, but it does not mean atheists are in any way 'better' or 'smarter' then Christians.

That is the 'answer' you really want to hear... maybe worded differently, but what you want, as your 'best answer' is some 'reason' to believe atheists are better than Christians.

It will be bullsh!t, but that is what you'll want to hear.

Answer 7

christians hate anyone who does not believe exactly the same way they do. They have been this way for centuries - look at the people who were killed for believing the different "heresies" after the belief was outlawed, look at the people who were killed during the crusades, and look at the people in Northern Ireland, who are killing each other even today, because each thinks the other "believes" wrongly and is not christian enough.

Answer 8

Maybe it has to do with the fact that a Christian who says "I don't hate atheists" gets 6 thumbs-down. How did that happen, I wonder? Does it make an atheist mad to learn that they are not hated?

Answer 9

I don't think they hate us, necessarily, but I do think we terrify them. They have no concept that there can be people who just don't share their beliefs. The idea completely flummoxes them. They're pretty good at hiding it: Coming off as nonchalant, or saying we "don't get it," or trying to sound like they're sorry for us, but it all comes down to the same thing: We think for ourselves, and don't rely on a Bronze-Age text or a preacher in a $1000 suit to tell us how to live, what to think or who to vote for.

Answer 10

There is no such thing as HATE in Christianity. First of all, Atheism itself is hypocritical. Atheist 'believe' in nothing, so they are worshiping 'nothing'. They try so hard to prove that God does not exist yet they haven't figured out where all these magnificent things came from? It's time to wake up. Why are these fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, and disasters happening? Yeah, they are natural disasters but guess what? The more you deny, the sooner He is coming.
