Can someone have an opinion which does not accord to generally religious, but specifically Christian, belief without it being called 'hating' or 'prejudiced'?
Furthermore, if you ask for justification of belief, is that condemning or is it fair?

The only thing I would consider "anti-Christian" is if by your statements and or opinion you express open hostility or contempt for Jesus Christ as portrayed by scripture.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for justification. We may not always answer to your satisfaction but we should what we believe and why. In fact we are commanded to be ready to give an answer of the hope that lies within us.
We should at least be willing to admit we don't know and try to find out. If we have no reason to believe something, maybe we should question it.

Yes, you can have an opinion without being condemned or criticized.
You can ask for justification of belief, but you can't put conditions on that justification, since matters of faith are not provable in a scientific manner.

According to everyone in society, if you say one thing about christians they freak. But the same goes for atheists. Its just a sore subject between the two. I personally don't mind people asking for justification of my atheism, unless they do it demeaningly. And some christians are like that too. But most of the time they freak and end the conversation before you get to say a second word.

There is nothing wrong with asking a question. Ibelieve the
answer to yours may be that people who are anti-christian
don't believe Jesus died on the cross . I don't think they believe in him at all as the son of God and being born of the
virgin Mary or any thing.

There are so many "Christian" groups out there. The simplest answer is "What ever offends a Christian group". I have seen one Christian group call another group anti-Christian.
Asking an honset question is always fair.

1. Something that is anti Christ would be Anti Christian.
2. Sure you can, though some Christians are more insecure than Christ was.
3.I like it when people ask me to justify what I believe.

Of course they can, but it will always depend on WHO you are talking to. I am a devout Catholic, but I have had many intelligent conversations with athiests, buddhists, wiccans, you name it. I don't put people down because they are not like me, but I do try to explain my religion in a non-threatening way and usually they become curious because they are not used to it. A REAL person of faith never feels threatened by other opinions. If you really want to influence someone you have to have their respect, and you can't do that by going around telling everyone they are evil and going to Hell !!

Asking for justification sounds fair to me.

Christians are followers & believers of Jesus Christ. I am one. So being an anti-Christian means not being a Christian. Anti means not. Not-Christian. Get it? I hope you are not one. But if you are I will be praying for you. I just hope you make the right decision.
