I have respect for many folks of many religions. I, however, often find that I have endlessly more respect for them than they have for me. I feel as though the monotheistic religions generally practice discrimination, disrespect, or even violence against non-religious folks based solely on their lack of religion. Atheists generally say that religious folks can be good people, despite their often compartmentalized superstitions. On the other hand I find that Christians and Muslims particularly often say that atheists cannot be good people.
