Typical theists versus typical atheists
RE: Typical theists versus typical atheists

A theist is loyal to certain representatives of a god and/or representatives of human ideals and, therefore, support their approved stories (in history or the present ones)
An atheist is loyal to certain representatives of human ideals only and believe their approved stories (also in history and the present ones) if they are well presented and proven on their electrical monitors.
Nope, that's not the difference. The main difference is that a theist will devote much of his life's energy to his religious institution-- money, time spent in church, etc., while an atheist will not. A theist will believe in the assertions of others without evidence, and in fact will be REQUIRED to do so by his religious institution. An atheist will not be willing to believe those assertions without evidence.

This has nothing to do with ideals. It has to do with the fact that very many people have bad, unsupported ideas, and that others are not willing to re-write their world views every time someone comes along with another one. I'm willing to guess you, for example, don't lose much sleep over whether Thor is real.

Again, you are mistaken. If people are upset by you, it is because despite their best efforts to couch their ideas in simple terms, your simple mindedness outmatches even basic statements of logic. You seem, quite frankly, to be delusional in your view of what other people think-- about religion, about God, or about you.
