Thanks for your reply.

I understand the bit that they would be scared of us thinking differently. I'm trying to think of me talking to a sociopath.
But I mean, it's not like we're up to something. Nothing like holy wars or huge get togethers to convert people. Nothing.

Or is there some extreme Atheist communities I don't know about? Or have we ever done anything to cause them to be so afraid of us?

This question has botherd me for a while now. I really don't understand while other religions find Atheism a threat. Just because I think it's primative to believe in anything that isn't physically possible (although not proven), doesn't mean i'm a threat does it?
Is it possible that religious people are so scared of the unkown they are prepared to start a war over it?

Anyone?

I think they are more afraid of being wrong. The fact that many would dare to see how things really are. To look into the unknown and explore it to find out what's real and what's not.
If they consider an atheist as a threat, even if the atheist has no interest in engaging in debate, they must harbor doubt about their beliefs. Otherwise it wouldn't bother them at all.

Ah yes, this sounds logical. To be honest. I was just thinking if you turned it around. What if there al of a sudden would be a god, I would not at all be comfortable with that.
