I’m an Atheist and I’m happy to be one. I don’t waste time praying to invisible beings, nor do I live in fear of going to hell because I think women should have the right to choose and gays should not be persecuted. I think that stem cells should be used to save lives, not classified as lives, because that’s just plain silly.

In my experience, radical Christians hate just about everybody, except perhaps other radical Christians, although that is a subject for debate. They spout bullshit from the Silly Book, and twist the words of those ancient old desert dwellers to justify their aberrant behavior. Quite frankly, I’ve yet to meet a Bible Banger who wasn’t a mean spirited racist who made every effort to preach their poison to anyone who would listen. They are, quite frankly, hypocrites themselves, and are more often than not the greatest “sinners” of them all.

I live in the Deep South, a place that has a church on every corner, and a lying hypocrite behind every tree. Their contempt for Blacks and Mexicans is palpable, and their hatred for all others, especially Atheists, is legend. In almost every social gathering there will be at least one good Christian who will ask to which church you belong. I normally answer that I don’t sin therefore I don’t attend church. This statement will bring a look at first of surprise then of contempt. Before long the whole room knows you are a devil, the unsaved, condemned to an eternity in hell.

The fact is, however, that Atheists should be embraced not shunned, as discussed in the following article:

Long after blacks and Jews have made great strides, and even as homosexuals gain respect, acceptance and new rights, there is still a group that lots of Americans just don’t like much: atheists. Those who don’t believe in God are widely considered to be immoral, wicked and angry. They can’t join the Boy Scouts. Atheist soldiers are rated potentially deficient when they do not score as sufficiently “spiritual” in military psychological evaluations. Surveys find that most Americans refuse or are reluctant to marry or vote for nontheists; in other words, nonbelievers are one minority still commonly denied in practical terms the right to assume office despite the constitutional ban on religious tests. Rarely denounced by the mainstream, this stunning anti-atheist discrimination is egged on by Christian conservatives who stridently — and uncivilly — declare that the lack of godly faith is detrimental to society, rendering nonbelievers intrinsically suspect and second-class citizens.
