Ooooops, that's not what I meant... at all.
I meant that the Christians that you will be portraying in your book - the ones behaving poorly towards atheists - will be mostly Americans.
So, when you write it, maybe you should keep that in mind and not generalize too much on the usage of the word "Christian".
That's all I'm saying. No more, no less.
Sorry if i'm getting a bit heated, I'm not a very patient person, with myself or with others. Its one of my failings and i'm getting to the end of that patience.

In regards to your point, I don't want to claim any idea of the relations between Christians and Atheists in other countries. If I tried to focus on that I would have very little idea of the readers. So I have only to focus on america.
