Why hate Athiest?

[The Magic Pudding]

Maybe because they don't know how to use pluralization correctly?

Ah right so Atheist isn't a way of referring to us as a group that I wasn't aware of. I hear New Zealanders referring to Maori to mean the Maori part of the society, I think...

I hear moderate christians on the radio, accepting of female ministers and gays, all for interfaith dialogue. It's my impression atheists bother them though, they even seem to say the word with distaste. I can understand they're uncomfortable with us, like bubbles sharing space with pins.
