Black people are born black. Christians choose to believe in stupid things.

Perhaps we all have a form of mental retardation? Do you insult the autistic and the downs people too?

Replace "atheist" with "white" and "religious" with "black". Now say it with a 1950s southern accent. You're now a racist. =)

If that explains Christians, I apologize for being a bully.

Now the Navajo Native American tribe has the belief that if you talk about something going bad, it will go bad. This is problematic in the health field because doctors must inform the patients of their risks. The Navajo refuse all medical treatment if they hear any risk, no matter how insignificant, that they do not want to befall them. Should we insult them?

What about children? They have imaginary friends and engage in fantasy all the time. Should we insult them as well?

Sure, why not?

No, because they're children. You are a grown adult.

It is expected of children. When one is an adult, it is time to put childhood fantasies away.

Yes. Their belief is superstitious horse shit just like yours.

Look, if you want to equate belief in Christianity to being a child or retarded, I won't argue with you, you're doing our job for us.

So some people are less than other people? And you wonder why theists say Atheists have no morals? Its ok to insult people if they don't agree with you? When will it become ok to harm them?

I'm assuming your position. If theism is a mental retardation or a child-adult comparison, the way you treat us is improper. And remember, we see you as the same way, and only we have a written, encouraged duty not to treat you lower than us.

And the fact that you do not treat us as though we are lower than you, even though it is what is on your mind, makes it better? At least we are honest in regards to how we feel toward hypocritical believers.
