Atheism assault on Christianity
#2
RE: Atheism assault on Christianity
America is overwhelmingly a Christian nation. I remember a poll showing that Christian's are the #1 majority, and astonishingly Atheists are #2. It seems to me that a lot of people here are from America so of course Christianity is what we know and it is more likely than not that when our atheism is challenged in real life it is by a Christian.

Also there is a general understanding, I think, that when we argue against God it is the Abrahamic God that is believed in by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. So what we say tends to go against all 3. Furthermore, most arguments I see where the bible is concerned uses Old Testament quotes so I think the Jews are fairly well included.

I'm sure not a lot of people have read the Quran, I know I haven't. But I have been studying Islam recently and I managed to do that without you telling me to do so.

I find your comments borderline insulting and perpetuating the wrong view of atheism. The opinions you put forth here make atheists sound like some sort of hound dogs and we need encouragement to rip apart Islam and Judaism. Um, NO! Atheism is about a lack of belief in god, this community is for discussing this lack of belief with relevant issues, and what's relevant to us tends to be Christianity because that's what we deal with everyday in politics, especially America. We are not here to insult religion but for intelligent discussion. I'm sure if we have anything to say about Judaism and Islam then it will be said where it is relevant, not because we haven't attacked it enough today!
