Most of us know the differences between atheists and Christians, but what are some similarities?

Answer 1

We both agree that the over 40,000 gods, spirits, and deities known around the world never existed.

We atheists just go one God further, but by the numbers, we agree a WHOLE lot more than we disagree.

Answer 2

The similarity is that each believes that the ego/mind can discern Truth. What I believe is true because I believe it. We are spiritual beings and our true nature is such that when we put our attention upon something we understand it intuitively and directly. When we are bound to the ego/mind we still have that sense of being but it is accredited to the wrong self, the false self, the ego/mind that imagines that what it sees and feels and knows via the senses is the Reality. Reality is the unseen power and Substance upon which the dream rests. It is Infinite and only what is Infinite can know or understand It. The senses are given us to know the world of form, the finite realm of appearances and mortal experience. The Creation is here to express God's Glory and we are here to witness that Glory and thrill in it. instead we suffer in it because we forget our true nature and become bound by the delusion. Why is it that the saints experience Bliss even in the face of their suffering for mankind? So there is the similarity. They each believe they see the world aright because they mistake sensations for realities and the unseen as unreal. These ideas lead fundamentalists to imagine that God is some being sitting in an antiseptic corner of space. If God isn't found where He abides He will not be found at all. Atheists are correct that that God they say does not exist does not exist and Fundamentalists are wrong in saying that the God they say exists, exists. And yet, God Is. Namaste'

Answer 3

Atheism is actually a religion with its own creed. Atheists simply believe that all the qualities that religious believers attribute to a supernatural God are actually attributable to their god 'Matter'. i.e. 'matter' not only created itself, but also created life, information, and all the other properties and potentialities which exist in the universe we observe today. According to atheist belief, the god 'Matter' performed this miracle (albeit in contravention of natural laws, logic and commonsense) rather than a supernatural Creator. So the similarity is the atheist belief in an all powerful entity (matter). Christians also believe in an all powerful entity, the difference is that their God can logically contravene natural laws by virtue of being supernatural, i.e. not a material entity.

Answer 4

Similarity is that they have strong opinions in the opposition of Islam.

You'll frequently see that atheists and christians do unite against Islam.

Answer 5

There are many atheists who believe in things in the Bible like the ten commandments and use them as life-targets. But they see the 10 commandments as written by men, good clever men.

Answer 6

Atheists and Christians both seem to like to argue about theology.

Answer 7

I personally can't wait till the end times when the real truth is reviled and i can come back to bring more of my brothers and sisters to my Lord so they can seek the real truth PRAISE HIM

Answer 8

Answer 10

Take away their beliefs and they are all the same exact thing. People.
