I would like to offer evidence that atheists are not all angry and hateful toward believers. Many times new theist posters will come here ready for a fight believing that we will hate them and misuse them because of their beliefs. The evidence of this poll is that the vast majority endorse respectful treatment of theists.

But now I'm wondering how well our intentions are manifesting in our actions and words on this site. So here is a poll for theists to describe the treatment they experience here. Don't be shy. We won't bite (or, if we do, it won't have been our intention
).
Your choices:
I find 100% of posts addressed to me by atheists to be respectful.
I find around 75% of posts addressed to me by atheists to be respectful.
I find around 50% of posts addressed to me by atheists to be respectful.
I find around 25% of posts addressed to me by atheists to be respectful.
I have never had a respectful post addressed to me on these forums.
To provide some contrast, how would you describe your own actions/words addressed to atheists.
Usually respectful.
Occasionally provocative.
Often provocative.
Occasionally disrespectful.
Usually disrespectful.
Finally, how do you like interacting with atheists generally? It would be interesting to know why if you feel like elaborating.
Generally, I like interacting with atheists
It is something I feel duty bound to do.
I generally don't like atheists.
Okay, I'll stop there. Please check as many as apply for you and feel free to clarify or offer alternative statements that fit better in the comments section. Do know that I prefer to make all polls public.
