I posted the OP based on a news story I came across on Local 6 (and if you look at my history posting, I post a lot from that news source).

I have posted a lot of threads about Christians that were negative in their coverage, but posting one where an atheist was mentioned seemed to be near flame bait.

I think we see similar things here today - post something negative about Muslims, and people bring up Christians in the thread. Post something negative about atheists, and it gets defensive and people again talk about the bad Christians have done. It seems there is no discussion that can take place about any group/religion without people diverting it to Christians (they did some bad things, so it is ok that others did too).

Now - in that thread, people were sure to point out at times that just because one person who was an atheist did/believed something that it does not mean all that are atheist are the same.

Well duh. Same can be said about other people too.
