How come you don't see atheists running around protesting, demonstrating, be in your face, while religious do?

Question

Atheists don't need to over-compensate?
Atheists don't need to prove to the world?

What does that say about certain religious groups?

Though please keep in mind that directing at religious groups does not necessarily mean directing at religion itself. There's a fine distinction that many religious folks fail to realize or acknowledge in here.

Just like how religious groups are all up in other people's business, picketing and aggressively violating other people's privacy and space etc, such as at abortion clinics or gay & lesbian businesses etc, why not non-religious groups be all up in religious folks' face at their homes, churches, etc?! Which is not the case. It would be considered silly while religious isn't. Protesting how they have contributed to many wars and deaths, child molestations, abusing those whom religious protestors have been attacking etc.

Same goes for peta, why not non-peta groups be all up in peta's face like at their offices, centers, homes, work buildings etc?

.


I'm talking about physical protest like picketing on private land or at their homes or churches, like what some religious groups do as well as peta and those type of groups do at their targets' private places, except in this case, it's the reverse.

Answer 1

I'm a Christian, and I've stood on protest lines with atheists on any number of occasions. Calling public attention to tyranny, unfair practices, and oppression of your fellow human beings is something that people can often agree on, regardless of their religious affiliation (or lack thereof).

Answer 2

Oh please. Atheists try to lobby their beliefs just as much as christians.
Someone protests abortion and you claim it is a christian protest. Well guess what atheists can be antiabortion, too.,
If I claimed that anti Bush protests were atheist protests you would probably jump on me so fast claiming that christians protest in those, too.

There are atheist special interest groups. Atheists fund those multi million dollar lawsuits meant to overturn things like saying the pledge in school because God is on there. Atheists protest in protests all the time. How many of those guys up in san francisco protesting all the time are probably atheists?

Answer 3

. we are called to proselytize. If we can help save one person it will cover a multitude of sin on judgment. But you are talking about being harassed and my God does not want US to cast our pearls at the swines. and we are not to preach Ware the word has already been given. so I hope this helps I cant answer for the atheists.

Answer 4

its because since atheists dont believe in anything, they dont have to waste their time doing stuff like that. since religous people are religous, they usually have a duty to spread the word of the religion, try and get new converts, live by that religion, and expel anything against that religion. for example, Muslim religion prohibits any image of the prophet Muhammed being shown so when an image of him is shown, they protest because it is against their religion. atheists have no religion so they have nothing to defend or spread. it doesnt take a genius to know that

Answer 5

Those making the claim have to prove what they're saying is right.

Also, I believe that "witnessing" is a large part of it.

Atheists don't need to do either of those things. People make the turn on their own.

Answer 6

No. Atheist protest plenty. Just not about religion.

Answer 7

I have to disagree, I'm an Atheist and I run around protesting & demonstrating!
Please don't stereotype or generalize.

Answer 8

God wanted the fruits of religion, not religious nuts.

Answer 9

They do. Just try to take the science of evolution out of schools and let the fireworks begin!

Answer 10

It's much more fun to sit back and watch.
