At this point, I am curious as to what experiences people have had with Atheists that causes them to hate us so much. Not all of us are angry at theists. The majority of us don't hate God, mainly because we cannot hate a being who we deny to exist in the first place. So much hatred stems from the word "Atheist", and it sickens me. I only hope that by continuing to call myself an Atheist, that those who know me will understand that being an Atheist does not make me an evil person.
Trying to change the world's opinion sucks, no?
Apparently, the idea atheists are so angry is the result of mass projection.
