Ask a lifelong (irreligious) atheist

Oh, yes, the Jains - the passive-aggressive nut-jobs. Sure - they preach non-violence, but seem to say nothing about the need to love anybody. Quite the opposite actually, with their emphasis on asceticism. They may be largely harmless wackos, but I don't imagine any sane person would want their loved ones to walk around naked, with a brush to sweep away bugs and refusing to eat a potato, for fear of murdering a microbe. 

Quite frankly, to live like this one surely has to hate oneself.
