I've come across a lot of atheists who are disrespectful of, or obviously look down on people who have religious beleifs. I know they're not all like that, but the ones who are, I find them really annoying! What about you? Why do they have to be like that?

Atheists believe there is no God and think that Christians and those of other religions are superstitious dolts who think that a deity is like a big Santa Claus who gives you everything you want. They also believe that man is the one to determine things, not God. The Atheist is like that because your views are opposite from his, and he hates the ideas of prayer in schools, the ten commandments read before a political session, the nativity scene, Christmas concerts instead of Winter concerts, etc. He does not believe in God and therefore he feels it is his duty to remove any mention of God in the public square and if he could go into your home and take away your Bible or arrest you for saying grace, he would. These are known as militant atheists and from what I heard, they are the ones responsible for bringing suit against anyone who demonstrates their religious beliefs in the public.
