Why can't I be just as delusional as you and be hating something non-existant? Why can't I hate people for their system of beliefs and philosophy without believing those things myself? Maybe I think that christianity is stupid because it is based entirely on a single work of mythology, poorly translated, yet taken literally. Maybe I hate stupid people. Christians manage to hate Jews without being Jewish themselves don't they???? How do you manage that?
Yeah, pretty much every hard-bitten atheist I know. An atheist, whether they can verbalize it or not, takes it personally the implication in a Christian's faith that the Christian has found the one Truth of life and that they have not. There are many conscious manifestations of the unconscious offense an atheist takes from a Christian's exclusive relat ...[text shortened]... f hatred. I'm saying that that hatred would not happen if Christ weren't first of all real.

Atheist will say anything in this forum just to be combative. Not all, but the majority. There is no civil discourse here.
Dont stereotype atheists. It is no different than stereotyping race or nationality. There are thousands of different types of white people. Thousands of different types of black people. Thousands of different types of Americans, English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese... get my point?
Guess what... There are many, many different types of atheists too.
Just because some hate god and religion dont mean all atheists do.
