I like the guy who "examined" a bunch of religions and - SURPRISE - discovered the right one was the Christianity of everyone around him, and which his parents no doubt legitimised to him as a child. If all the "internet ex-atheists" actually once WERE atheists, there wouldn't be any Christians. "Liars For Jesus" was coined for a reason.
The hateful stuff? That's everywhere. Good people will do good, and evil people will do evil. But for good people to do evil - that takes religion. The only one that you'd want to find out more from is Nathan. And there's a lesson there . . .

So yeah...I've recently become somewhat obsessed with this Atheism site, Atheist Empire(I don't really like the 'Empire'...don't really know why)...anyway...there is an email section on it where people send emails about how they feel about the site...in this section they let you read some emails that people have sent and they separate them into positive and negative....the positives are obviously nice...but the negatives....they are just....there are a few that are actually pretty nice compared to the...others...let me show you....
here is a couple of the nicer ones....

Hello.
I must admit this website made me sad. Don't get me wrong, not in any
patronizing, self-righteous way, but upset for several reasons.
First of all, we do not share beliefs. I am a Christian, and I do
believe that there is a God and "he is one." I am sorry and sad to hear
some of the anger and resentment to those of my faith (especially from
the man who made the graphics).
I am very sorry for my brother's and sisters who strike out at you in anger,
such as the guest book entry on the bottom left of the main page.
I do not share your doubt in the existence of God, nor in the idea that science
and religion are at odds.
By the way, your Einstein quote intrigues me, I have him quoting "I
want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details." ???
I am very sorry that most athiests probably hate or resent us. I
only wish to apologize and perhaps in doing so, show a small fraction of
what we try to be. We often fail, but we try. I hope and pray that
the Christians you know will do a better job showing love in the future.
In love,
Nathan

Hey,
I'm a guy who stumbled upon your site while looking for some RHCP lyrics. I won't torment you with any theological "junk", but I am curious as to why you are in fact an atheist. I too at one time was an atheist, though after years of questioning and doubting I actually decided to check out several religions. My findings were as I had expected at first, all full of discrepancies and false hopes. Finally I delved into "Christianity," despite my deterred interest due to many(Christians) whom I knew. Soon after, I too believed, not in the Church, or in the religion but the concept and the life of the Christ. All the evidence for Christ overwhelmed what doubts previously consumed my life. Well, I'm not sure if you will respond, knowing at one time I had a fervent enmity for any "Christians" feeling evangelical , but I hope you write back. I truly know that my God, the one who I have found to be true, is real and seeks you too.
and here is a couple of nasty ones

fuck Athiests
you Athiests are just as bad as the retards who believe in god. Why
don't you understand... because you fucktards have your heads so far up
your asses you cant see the light outside the cave or it just hurts
your eyes because you pussies are afraid of the truth because it hurts a
little.

ALL OF THESE HOMOSEXUAL ATHEISTS SHOULD MOVE TO ANOTHER
COUNTRY, OR AT LEAST SAN FRANCISCO, WHERE THEY CAN ALL SHARE EACH OTHER'S
IGNORANT DISDAIN FOR GOD. THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON CHRISTIAN
PRINCIPLES. WE DO NOT NEED YOUR KIND POLLUTING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE'S MINDS WITH
THIS TYPE OF MANURE. WHERE DOES YOUR TYPE COME FROM? I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE
GOING!
ugh...the (really)negative ones are just so...ignorant....
I'm not sure why I'm posting this...just want to see if anyone will actually read this...hmm...but yeah...tell me what you think about the last two compared to the rirst two...
here is a link to the site if you want to check it out....

While there are several Christians, some in my top SH spots, that are not like this (thankfully), the fact that it can produce people like this is a problem that I cannot resolve.

I'm really loving what Philip had to say....cuz I really had no idea that all atheists were homosexuals....I'm really wondering where people get this kind of stuff...
