I mean putting aside all the loathfull bashing and hatred, pls say something positive abt the other two groups. Since I'm a Muslim, I would say...
Christians: Love debating with them.
Atheiets: Though debating with them can give me a headache, yet I find them very smart, well most of them.

Ok, agnostics are in too. Sorry for the exclusion.

Muslims - I admire the level of their piety and devotion. The ones I've met are soft-spoken and kind and I have many of them as my friends. (P.S. I'm a blasphemer sometimes, but those who really know me don't take it as an offence)
Christians - I like them. They're cool and most of them have a great sense of humour. They're also very willing to help me out when I'm having hard times.
Atheists - It's not fair to speak for my own kind LOL! *grins*
Jews - I have a great Jewish friend who is a peacemaker. Wonderful wonderful lady!!! As for Jews in general, I like it that they're traditional. It's something to admire really.
Pagans and Wiccans - Now these are my favourites! I have tons of them in my 360 list. Highly spiritual and enlightened, if you ask me. And they crack me up with their jokes!
Agnostics - I like their views. They can't make up their mind, so what? It's actually very brave of them to admit that they simply don't know. I appreciate honesty.

Muslims appear to have more family connection, like, passing the religion and customs down from generation to generation. To me, it can also seem bad in that same respect because we ALL need to choose the right path ourselves, and if it's forced on a person, they only know what they've been told by other people, but they do not know the Truth for themseves. Another good thing, how they put so much focus on good deeds - the Bible teaches us that faith & works go together - so I can relate. The teaching is that to do something is pointless without faith and that to have faith is pointless without taking action.
Atheists have sometimes said things, such as the plain and simple fact that they can have morals even if they are an atheist, and I respect that. When people are open-minded and humble, it's always a good thing. Things only get bad when ppl get prideful & self-righteous.

Muslims: love my Muslim friends, don't know why, but I know Muslims from different cultures (Persians, Trinidadians, etc) and they all feed me great food until I'm going to explode! Radicals aside, VERY loving and gracious folk. Beautiful artwork and poetry from this tradition.
Christians: So many Christians out there, practicing their beliefs and making the world a better place like the Mennonites and the Salvation Army. So sad that folk jump on Christians as a whole due to history or the actions of a few. Whose history is spotless?
Athiests: Often a driving academic and intellectual force in religious belief. Invaluable to keeping the faithful faithful and helping weed out the people who actually are non-believers who give believers a bad name.
Agnostics: I've only met a few, but they were all good people. Always very interesting to talk to one.

My uncle is a very intelligent and cultured person. He is also a devout Christian. Music is the driving force in his life and when he was a kid growing up in the Florida panhandle -redneck central- church was one of the few places he could hear music that meant something to him. Later in life, he became an alcoholic and pulled through it with the help of his church.
I don't know enough about Islam to do much more than congratulate its adherents on making kickass food.

Me: Atheist. Naturally I like and agree with me!
Christians: Usually have their hearts in the right place. I too like debating with these guys. I have often gotten some great advice and insights from Christians.
Moslems: Don't know many, but the few I've met seemed really nice. Thanks for keeping the world enlightened during the European Middle Ages!
ok nic T...Agnostics: Love the idea of someone admitting they don't know. It shows maturity, and humility, as well as a commitment to logic. There!
Whilst we're at it....
Buddhists: Contemplative. Deep thinkers
Shintoists: Pretty temples
Judaism: Great music. And funny comedy.
Hinduism: Way cool looking deities! Ganesh is like some sorta superhero!
Sikhism: Ecclectic.
Wicca: Hot chicks!
ok, now I'm being silly...lol
Nice question by the way! Go you!

Salam
Those who are guided remain in the guidance of Allah SWT and those who have allowed themselves to be led astray have never been guided by anything on the face of this earth and beyond! They are the weak that create filth and are pathetic and have no friends other than those who run to them with in lust and desire! Look Left you can see them everytime and then Look Right at those who are steadfast in peace and patience and it doen'st have to be muslim it can be anyone that is guided even an ANT!

I'm a Bible believing Christ-ian but here goes,
Muslims - Devout, unswayed by fickle change, in the end, a brother of mine.
Atheists - At least they have the guts to state their position and stick to guns under pressure, unlike shifting sand agnostics and pretend Christians. Another bro.

The wonderfull thing about cultural diversity in a culture that allows freedom of discourse is the exchange of ideas. I like discussing theology, religion, Christianity, with anyone who can do so without becoming angry.
The one benefit to all beliefs about the culture in America is that we are free to discuss these things.
I haven't personally met a muslim but most atheists are (and this is in agreement with you) very smart.

Christians: I like debating with them and some of their songs are nice (from what I remember).
Atheists: They help me grow stronger in my faith because they ask some very, VERY thought provoking questions. Every so often, my brother (atheist) and I talk about religion.
