most people who claim to be atheists had parents from christianity in this country - as it was or is a christian country. Why have you gone against your parents? are you saying that your parents were stupid?

My mother was a Christian but she wasn't a fundie/bible literalist and she certainly wasn't stupid. I haven't 'gone against her', I've just made up my own mind about things.

I doubt that believing differently than your parents constitutes calling them "stupid".
But I was raised by atheists, who taught me to value compassion, science, and common sense, so what do I know?

Ever wonder how after the Liberation of Freedom for the good of mankind from after world war two.
All the survivors with their children all were the Son of God irrespective of all tribes of different community.
Blindly had our creator's universal gifts of life without being aware of it.
Ever wonder how they all became a "Bettermen" as the Son of God.
Luke 9.55-56
Decode this lyrics " Dirty old men"
Ever wonder how in time with the betrayal of Judas with "My way" in kicking the butts of God.
John. 8.44
While telling their little children ghostly stories that they were not christain in kicking them all on their butts.
Until they all live in misery with the missing link in the generation gap.
Matt. 23.27
In creating them to be a bunch of educated idiots.as the defective, malfunction humanoids with faulty sexual and communication system without being aware of it.
While they themselves enjoy all the good things in live for themselves.
Luke 16.13
Ever wonder how they were not giving those gifts of life to their own little ones, own children,own generation and children of all tribes of different community in their own backyards in kicking the butts of God.
Matt. 22.17-21
Ever wonder how Judas were getting all the children getting kick on the butts as casualty of the dead Mummy of skeleton of skull and bones of failures and horrors of the past in getting them in climbing up the coconut trees and still look green with lost sense of direction and purpose of life living in misery with the loss of the missing link in the generation gap.
Luke 6.39-40,41-45,46-49
Ever wonder what can the dead Mummy with empty skeleton of skull and bones without sexual and communication system eerily wailing in ghostly kitchen's dialect with ghostly and deadly words do for living human kind who was dead and buried was long gone with time?
Luke 9.60
Ever wonder of the slip-ups with human errors expose by little horror chucky who grew in time to be 'The beauty and the beast" in own backyards?

I was raised Christian by Christian parents.
And I don't think my parents are stupid, but I think that they, too, were brainwashed into believing in magical, invisible, supernatural beings from birth, as were their parents. I just put more thought into those beliefs later on than they did. Now Christianity is so ingrained into them that they are somewhat afraid to allow themselves to think otherwise.
If my parents behaved in such a way that I deemed them delusional, like a fundamentalist, then I would be concerned. However, my parents are very laid-back, tolerant, loving people. They are respectful of my beliefs, and the beliefs of others. They don't deny scientific evidence. They use their heads. If all Christians were like my parents, then I'd have no problem with Christianity.

My parents were Christians and were very smart. But, they were not fundies and encouraged us in science, the arts and loving nature.
I knew as a child I was atheist and kept it to myself. I thought of my father as a Cultural Christian because, as a scientist and humanist, the Methodist Church fit his ethical standards.
My mother has no problem with four of her six children being atheist. I know she wishes we weren't but there is no estrangement and she loves us just as much. My father is deceased.

Mine were Catholic. No, it isn't about rebellion. Yes I think they are wrong in their beliefs, but I leave them alone because it doesn't bother me.
Most Athiests don't care if people want to believe, they justs don't themselves.
Religious people are very defensive and consider Athiests a threat of some kind so they post this sort of question whenever they can.
Do you really think you are going to guilt-trip people back to Christianity?

My parents were both brought up Christian, but left it at an early age. They let me choose what to believe on my own. I never had to "go against them".
And this country is not a Christian one, whatever you may have heard. That's a common misconception.

Not stupid at all. Wise enough to let their child choose his own beliefs (or lack thereof).
