In reply to the discussion: Christian Bias [View all]LostOne4Ever

When was the last time you saw a Christian start a thread denigrating Atheists? Never.
I have seen many such threads...including this one.
Let me see if I got this straight. You say you are tolerant of our beliefs. But, you just want us to stop criticising religion? Specifically your religion? Muslims are fine, just not yours? You have nothing against us, you just don't want us to be open in public about our.....our atheism?
Look. I try to be very civil and respectful with everyone, but no beliefs (religious or not) are above criticism. Especially when there is a very vocal minority of people who also adhere to said religios beliefs trying to force it upon me and others.
BTW, if we are bending over backwards to defend fundamentalist Islam I am sure that is news to Richard Dawkins who was getting called an islamophobic bigot a few months back...

Atheism is just a statement of belief (or rather a lack of) on the existence of a god.
