Do atheists hate christians or other religions?

[Kudo Shinichi]

i was on facebook and theres this page about atheists and they seem to bash christianity and a lot of other religions out there. for ex. http://www.facebook.com/WEAREUAA

If you're an atheist answering this question tell me what you think! I'm a christian and I'm not offended or mad about this page but rather curious about what you guys think!
You cannot be more right. I totally agree. I hate how christians hate the "gays". im pro gay and i hate the christians in my community (not all) are totally against it and it's just not right.
im not saying christians or other religions dont bash atheists... dont put words in my mouth lol

Goes both ways. Christians bash Atheist and Atheist bash Christians. The problem is that man can not get along with each other.

I treat people as individuals. Some individual Christians I hate, some individual Christians I don't hate.

>>i was on facebook and theres this page about atheists
>>and they seem to bash christianity

For every one of those, you can probably find a dozen Christian sites that bash non-Christians. So what's your point? Really, it's not hard at all to think of some sort of demographic of people, and find a page on the internet that bashes then.

I am more annoyed by them than anything (the ones that are outward and preachy about it anyway).

Bashing Christianity doesn't mean someone hates christians.

Personally, no but some do - just as some theists bash atheists.

Most of them that blog and bitch about it online are very mean and hateful. The ones who simply just don't believe, usually don't spend all there time on the subject, online and will be respectful towards the fact that not EVERYBODY in the universe has to be atheist, or made fun of.

Interesting question

To be honest I am a Christian and i don't think every Atheist in the world hates Christians. There may be some but i highly doubt that all of them hate us and I hope they don't. But I also believe that some of the "Christians" can actually be the source of the problem when they treat others bitterly or even hatefully which is the complete opposite of how a Christian should be in this world.

We are supposed to be full of love and compassion for all others and if we are not then we simply fall short of what it means to be a Christian and are in fact a hypocrite. I honestly love gay people but i have to say that i hate lawlessness (sin), however that will never make me love any person any less than i do because love is extremely important in Christianity and it always will be

"If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn't love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clinging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn't love others, I would be nothing." 1 Corinthians 13: 1-2

"If I gave everything I had to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing." 1 Corinthians 13: 3

“Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.” 1 John 4: 7

“God is love and all who live in love lives in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect.” 1 John 4: 16

“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God.” 1 John 3: 18-19

"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers." 1 John 3: 16

"Christians" aren't a religion so you cannot hate "christians or other religions".

Do atheist hate Christianity and other religions? No, mostly they don't hate anything as a group. What you might be seeing as hatred is the idea that religions often do terrible, destructive, cruel things to people based on their personal worldview and the arrogance that their viewpoint is the only correct one, and certain atheists might try to counter those actions by pointing them out in a public way. Some of those might get emotionally worked up, and come across as angry or hateful, but remember that bashing a thing is just criticizing it in an extreme way and doesn't imply hatred.

you cant love someone without also hating them and vice versa. i just wish some christians would stop shoving their beliefs on everyone that doesnt agree with them.

No I don't hate anyone. I just dislike how religious peoples religion forces itself into others lives.
