Lol, from my experience, most atheists here are absolutely hostile to religion. Many are hostile to religious people. I have noticed that you are not one of them, and I have appreciated that.
Anyway, I don't think it would go over too well if you told all of these members that they are emotional and not rational atheists...
I have not found most atheists here to be hostile, certainly not to the point that Storm describes himself. People here seem to have varying degrees of tolerance for bullshit, but that's different than being hostile to the people themselves. I have run into many an atheist who I would call hostile, but none so far on this forum.
Sometimes you have to be one yourself to really feel the hostility.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
