Why do Atheists seem to get on Christaianity and not Islam?
The Overfiend:
I don't see why people would think atheists are highly critical of faith. Usually its just religious spin-doctors trying to hype it as if atheists are attacking their faith because of course having a common enemy or battle creates a common identity that most religious adherents are in the business of fostering. Think about it: how active, vocal and visible is atheism really? Since when have you seen an atheist on the street handing out brochures or knocking at your door trying to pass off literature?

Generally speaking though, Atheists aren't interested in dissecting the differences between Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc. Point blank, if you follow any form of Theism, then you're all lumped into the same category in their eyes.

Except with those who have a vendetta against christianity. They can be just as bad as christians.

yea, its pretty retarded, basically those idiots are making atheism a religion, because they firmly believe that there is no god.
but really i believe atheism is basically labeling yourself as " i dont know, but i dont believe in religions" but i wouldnt go as far as to say im right and christians or buddhits or muslims are wrong.
because simply nothing can be proven to resolve this argument.

Seriously, I've been tellin' believers and non believers for the longest that they can't prove jack shit to each other so just cut the crap and have a tea party because it's just a waste of time to keep debating.

Like Sik pointed out earlier, there are a few atheists who love creating controversy, ie. 10 Commandments statue @ Courthouses, Pledge Of Allegiance, etc.
At the same time, you have a point in that it isn't as prevalent. But the few atheists that like to ruffle theism's feathers are just as hardcore about it as the bible thumpers arguing otherwise.

Im not gonna go out of my way. But yeah, I do think the word "god" shouldnt be associated with anything related to government. It shouldnt be in school, shouldnt be on our money. No more then it shoould say "In No God We Trust"

It's been on money forever though. Besides, it keeps the hopelessly faithful content that god will bless their money or some stupid shit. It's better to keep them happy so they don't start blowing up the federal reserve like they did with abortion clinics.

People wanted to keep seperate bathrooms for "White" and "Colored" people because it had "been that way forever" too tho. Thats no reason to keep things the way they are. Now, if having In God We Trust on our money ensures that more deeply religious people will continue to be scammed out of there hard earned money.....well....I guess Im all for it then. lol
