Christians are vile hate mongers. They hate in groups, atheists on the other hand have no organized group from which to breed hatred. Atheists want only to be respected and left alone. Think about it, when was the last time you saw an atheist protest outside an abortion clinic, a movie theater or anywhere else? When was the last time you heard of an atheist murdering a doctor? Witch hunts, who made those popular in Salem Mass in 1692 when 19 people were hung? I'll tell you who, Christians! Throughout the history of Christianity, people have been raped, sodomized(a christian word by the way), tortured and murdered by Christians.
Atheists do not ban together, organize or have a church in which to congregate and hatch their next murder spree.
.Are Atheists more hateful than the religious? No, we just reject the Christian fairytale and mind our own business.

Atheists don't go door to door annoying people with religious pamplets.
Atheists don't leave a book in every motel room promoting their beliefs.
Atheists don't have a history of going to foreign lands and wiping out native beliefs, languages, traditions and converting people.
Atheists don't have a 12 step program (to successfully complete the 12 step program for alcoholics, one must find God).
Christian atrocities throughout history go on and on.

One last thought: The Nazis, (the ones who murdered 6 million Jews), they were all Christians and the current Pope, a former Nazi.

Without a doubt, religion has killed more people than any other thing. Nothing else is even close. We see and read about uneducated and primitive people who believe in witch doctors and magic: then, with sincerity, we feel superior as we pray to and preach about a hypothetical supreme being of which we have no proof. By what definition is this not superstition? And by what definition are miracles and superstition not magic? What we really believe is that our magic and superstition is legitimate and to separate our magic from other’s magic and superstition we call ours religion.
Ignorance breeds superstition. Superstition and the desire not to die are used to control people and the tool used to do this is called religion. Religion, to exist, needs believers who are called the “faithful”. The “faithful” can have no rational discussion of religion because ration (logic) and religion are oxymorons. Thus, facts will never deter the “faithful” because they “believe”. Ergo: religion will continue to retard mankind and eventually cause his demise.
In the past “religion” tortured people until they said what was desired and then burned the people at the stake for their own good. Fire “purified” the soul.
With only the evidence of how many people say that they believe in “God” one can only conclude that the population as a whole is either stupid & ignorant or insane: maybe both. If there are other sentient beings in the universe I can understand why they wouldn’t contact us. Even if “God” did exist, with what I have seen I could not bring myself to worship such a cruel & uncaring being.
Magical thinking is mental illness, perhaps the result of our Puritan heritage. The Bible as a whole looks like what it essentially is: the worldview of one isolated, intellectually restricted, largely superstitious, and very ignorant ancient society whose experience carries no more weight than that of any traditional culture.
Our religiously dominated culture loves the word fundamental. OK, try this: nothing in this world will fundamentally change as long as religion exists. Until humanity gets strong enough to admit that there is no such thing as a “soul” it will not achieve any lasting peace or progress. Religions will destroy us rather than admit that truth. Ironically, a nirvana could only come through a growth beyond superstition and religion. I don’t expect many to have such an epiphany. In other words, it ain't gonna happen. Even if "Christians" had the ability to think outside the box their mind is in, they would not admit that they had been wrong. They are the way they are so they won't have to think, so expecting them to, is an exercise in self-deception. George W. Bush is a fine example of this.
Christianity is composed of many groups in which each group theoretically is derived from the same source. They are based on the supposed life and teachings of a man, whose existence cannot even be proven with certainty, who lived 2000 years ago, but whose life was chronicled 200-300 years after he died by people who knew of him only by tales and rumor. Of all the tales written about him, the religious leadership handpicked only a few out of many of these tales to form their basic religious text, discarding what they didn’t want.
Christianity is like any other religion in that the leaders pick and choose things in order to manipulate and control the masses (Catholics even call their gatherings Mass ). One of the best ways seems to be to keep the masses ignorant of all the facts. Christianity is based only the very limited worldview of a primitive and very ignorant tribe who lived 2000 years ago. It’s a testament to the continued ignorance of man that he not only still believes this but will kill rather than open his eyes and see the obvious truth.
