If you don't know what you're talking about then, in my opinion, you don't get to whine.
What am I whining about?

Amazing research. You mean to tell me 2 diametrically opposed groups dislike each other? /sarcasm

I dislike arguing with atheist, but that doesn’t mean I dislike atheists. Both of those are a far cry from hating anyone. I’m certain non of the question in those studies was “do you hate atheist?”

Honestly I would expect a minority group of typically hyper-skeptical, opinionated, vocal nonconformists with axes to grind to be on the colder side of many social scenarios.

Both sides operate with an exaggerated Pygmalion effect was my only point. I don’t hate atheist and I assume atheists don’t hate me. I assume most people’s reactions are not carefully curated speech, but reactions to beliefs and outside elements.Do you assume Christians would say something negative if u stated to them directly “hey, I’m an atheist, I was wondering why u hate me for my beliefs”
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Umm, not exactly sure what you mean. I'm tossing around my victimhood? Again, don't know what you mean by this. How did I paint ALL atheists with the same brush?
Read what you wrote again.  I think you can find what I am taking about.  And, I'm done.  Enjoy your stay.
Again, I'm not going to play a guessing game with anybody. Say what you want to say or don't up to you. Thanks for the post!

What am I whining about?

Inaccurate claims of christian oppression.

Another question, should the fire department show up when your church is on fire?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

What oppression did I claim? 

Yes, the fire department should show up to a building that is on fire regardless of what the building is used for.

No, churches on fire is a form of smiting. god is angry with the gay fish in the Bering sea, so, churches in rural America are the obvious choice for smiting.

Do not confuse my appreciation for culinary perfection and gastronomical delight for fondness, good will, or harmony.
