Two questions.

[Bull Poopie]

1. For the same reason people stereotype Christian, Black, White's, Gay's, etc... so on and so on. No niche has a corner market on bigotry and prejudice. It's common human practice to classify things and people are things. The trick is to not let it bias your communication or interaction with that person.
2. What does evolution have to do with metaphysics at all? One is a belief in a process about genetic change and the other is a worldview that there could be more to life than the material. They're not mutually exclusive or related IMO.

Sorry for the dorkus questions hock:...anyways it just seemed kind of odd.. I know one doesn't have anything to do with the other but it was just a bit odd... but we as humans all have our quarks..

I guess trying to understand people and know why they are the way they are is a bit tough.. I just trying to understand it all... anything outside of anyone else norm they'll attack and automatically think it is evil, unjustice or not right in their eyes like you said wether your religious or not but some people are more subtle than others about it..

thanks for answering the post ya'll

Tacky's answer is a good one.

Also worth rembering that it's only the lunar religious right which has a problem with evolution.

Atheists are not at all special. As a category it's a granfalloon as are religions .

A "granfalloon" is a proud and meaningless association of human beings ( Kurt Vonnegut)

yes, his answer was a really good one .. no atheist arn't all special they have their quarks as do religious people... they are normal like everyone else we'll from what I have gathered most except for a few arogant ones here and there :-P but they have those in religions as well
