Atheists are the Most Hated People?

People feel in a country that believes in the existence of God the Creator of the universe with negative feelings toward atheists, because from their perspective atheists did not feel the presence of their Creator , they did not look around them to see His creatures and reflect on the universe and accuracy masterminding him so as not to hit the planets together and destroy it , or as Almighty said : [21.33] It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; each floating in an orbit." [36.40] The sun shall not outstrip the moon, nor shall the night outstrip the day. Each is floating in an orbit. " I ask God to guide all atheists to him . Amen .

The vast Majority of Atheists tend to have liberal views, we are not controlled by unproven religious teachings. We do not judge Gay folk, A persons colour is unimportant. Which God they pray to is also irrelevant. This is what the religious leaders and some of the more sheep like followers do not like - They are afraid that we will corrupt the nation. The UK is a secular country and we have fair abortion laws, we are about to vote on Gay Marriage. The Scout movement is also about to scrap the pledge to serve GOD in response to the growing number of Atheist Children wishing to join the Scouts. Thanks to our secular view, we do not allow creationist teachings to be taught as an alternative to science.

How are these statistics affected by those that report they have found religion in prison, either genuinely or as a ruse? Do a higher proportion of atheists come from any particular social/economic group? What would a similar survey in say Netherlands reveal? What of that atheistic country, Russia, war like or peaceful? What of Tibet, religious and peaceful? all the best, urban

They have said, "There is no God". Therefore it makes one wonder on what do they base their values. I couldn't help but note that the countries you noted as most religious are predominately Muslim.

Perhaps a lot of religious people aren't quite as tolerant in their souls as the face they put on in public. For all the stuff I hear about atheists waging "war" on religion, I see it in reverse (in the context of what religious people claim the "war" to be, obviously). Claiming science is some atheist tool to intentionally discredit religion (you can't make this sh1t up) and attempting to "match" it with Biblical teachings for the populous; pushing harder and harder to make a personal deity part of a public society -- it's as if religious people view atheism--not a belief; the DISbelief in deities--as a competing religion that threatens their lives. Granted, there are some extremely militant atheists whose actions make them just as dogmatic and nutso as some of the radical religious people. But that's not "atheism"; that's some people who take things too far. Just as I'm sure Christians would tell me that the Phelps' aren't representative of religion; they're over the nest. I think it also has to do with a lot of religious people believing that morality comes only with following the word. We don't need to get into the hypocrisy and the shortcomings here. Suffice it to say that religions have a long and arduous history of distrusting those whose beliefs differ. So it stands to reason that someone with no belief would stand out as worse than immoral, but rather soulless altogether. Where are the bad atheists? One example a lot of religious people have cited to me is the whole Soviet push of yesteryear, claiming atheism was behind it. But that's like hearing a bang in the kitchen, not finding the source on the first look, and instantly leaping to the conclusion that it's a ghost. Makes a great TV show, but that's about it. It wasn't "atheism" being pushed; it was the state's total and complete control over a person's mind, body and soul. They didn't want people to simply drop their belief in a deity, but also to hit their knees for the earthly rulers. Atheism had nothing to do with it. So, truthfully, I have no idea why atheists are so hated. I do not subscribe to the belief in a deity. Does that really make me a bad person? If so, that must mean that the person thinking I'm bad obviously subscribes to the believe that I should suffer for all eternity and my entire family should be smote for generations simply because I do not believe what they believe. And I'm the bad person? I'm immoral? I want to warp your children's minds? Oh, for Pete's sake. It's 2012. If not now, when?

Don'thate,but most atheists,don'tbelieve in doing good things, do bad karma,so they do more for yourself about it.

Seven states in the United States have constitutional provisions in place that bar atheists from public office and in the state of Arkansas an atheist can not be a witness in a trial. de omnibus dubitandum

Hi Christoph, I guess I am in the minority because I see no reason to hate atheists. Those that I know are good people and most just mind their own business. My youngest son's best friend is an atheist, and he is a born again Christian. His friend was best man at his wedding which was held at a Christian church.I am not an atheist myself, but believe that everyone should respect the views of others. Blessings.

So, why are atheists disliked and not trusted? What is so horrible? What have they done to you that's so horrific? These are funny questions. When I watch the news and someone not muslim looking is the culprit to a crime or something similar, his religion or none of it is let known so how do they (the people who answer the poll) judge who is more horrible?

I don't have anything against atheist. However when I came across them, they would like to debate always and they seemed arrogant. They would insist that there is no God. One time, I came across this atheist and said, "I do not believe in the God you are saying!" And she thought that all that happen to her are her own efforts and she did not need to thank anybody nor God. I find her arrogant in some ways. I hope atheists would realize that there is God who created them and everything in this world. Thanks for this discussion. God Bless
