Should they be banned from having and/or expressing their opinions because they disagrees with yours?

So, from some of YOUR questions, I assume you're a politician, a cartoon (well, at least your avatar is) a homosexual and a philosopher, right? I mean, you posted in all of those categories...\n\nAnyway, atheists don't believe in god, and atheism is not a religion. But we do believe in religions (i.e.: in the fact that they exist, and are here for a particular purpose which some of us don't like). So, on top of being manipulated by churches, we ALSO have to endure it quietly? I DO NOT THINK SO.\n\nBTW, he IS imaginary.

I don't think all atheists share any beliefs.\n\nHowever, there are atheists who like to hang out on religion forums on the internet and "preach" for atheism with a fervor worthy of any Christian Fundie.

You guys are so funny.  For people who don't believe in Religion and Spirituality your sure spend a lot of time here...\n\nPeace!\n\nPS - could you leave a brochure in my door next time you are down my street?

God has given to all of us a measure of faith. Atheist chooses to believe there is no God, yet deep inside they knows better. That is one reason they are so concerned about christianity. Again all Atheist will not stay that way and some will be converted. Someday they will  see that a Holy God is nothing to play with.

WOW!!!! People are crazy and very rude when they apply their beliefs to how they judge others. \n\nWe (atheist) are not sad, lonely imoral people. We did not chose to become atheists because we were angered or felt abandoned by a god. We became atheists through years of thought and understanding. We do not get worried when you say it's our stubborn choice to not believe in your god and that we are going to burn in hell.\n\nPlease quit thinking this.

Because they don't respect our beliefs.\nCan you imagine how much they'd freak out if we tried to "convert" them?\n\nhey if believing in something the equavalent of Santa Claus just cuz someone told you helps you through they day - that's fine. \n\nBut don't try to push your beliefs onto me.\nI believe atheists are smarter and more moral people.\nWe do not work on blind faith.  We question things and only believe in things that can be proved.\nWe don't just behave because we're scare of a mythical hell, we have chosen to be good people because we believe it's the right thing to do, not because of some magical heaven up in the sky.  We function without an emotional crutch, without some belief in some greater meaning to our lives and without a promise of happy reunions in an afterlife.  We are stronger emotionally.  \nWe do not try to tell people how to live their lives (a la the religious rights efforts to control every aspect of our life).   We are more tolerant.\n.... I could go on for days....\n\n...phew.... thanks for letting me vent... that's all the stuff I try not to scream at them as they judge me, try to tell me how to live my life and threaten me with damnation.

Seems as though there are more atheists on the Internet than any where else.....

"Atheists want everyone to be atheists"\n\nThat's not entirely true.  Atheists are fine with people observing their faith.  What they DON'T want is for fairy tales to be taught in school, and illogical laws and bad legislation enacted for no reason other than "it's what Jesus would have wanted".

I am an atheist and any true atheist would not preach like that.  Those people are probably just looking for attention or they do not know what to believe so they chose to attack someone elses beliefs.  I generally stay out of the religion v. atheism  debate... although if anyone wants to talk about it I am happy to give them my reasons for my beliefs... but I will refrain from attacking them or their religion.  That is what a true atheist would do anyway.

I think atheists are often a little defensive when it comes to topics of religion, because they're so often nagged to 'convert' to others' point of view... They may also be a little fed up with so many people reminding them that they're going to die because they don't believe, etc..\n\n...I know I don't appreciate being reminded of those types of 'facts.'

because people with religion (anykind) can justify their beliefs and they have somewhere to go after life. \n\nunlike atheists, consumed by their logic but still cannot justify their belief.\n \nand where does atheists go to after death??? >> six feet under rotting..\n\ndo they have souls??? haha

I think that they are people that have their own specific reasons for not following after any particular god, or religion, or belief. Possibly many are just searchers?  Some are skeptics? Some maybe are just filled with hate for one reason or another & just declare non-belief?..the reasons for being an atheist are as varied as there are people's opinions. Personally I choose to believe in the Word of God, (Bible) & like Albert Einstein who was an atheist...and became a deist (believer in God) when he found a reason through knowledge; to believe!

You have yet to "prove" the Bible and it's message is false.\nAnd i as a believer will not honor your request untill you and your fellow atheists stop posting in the religion and spirituality area.\n\nIf you truly don't believe then why do you come here over and over?

Why are you trying to sow dissent here?  There are people on here trying to keep it less like a battlefield and more like a place for important questions on faith, and questions like this don't help.

Okay, there are really a lot of smarties out there. This isn't a 'Christian' site, but I knew what you meant. We are in the Religion section and you are asking a religious question, so why do these atheist morons have to get in and disrupt and adult conversation??? Psa 14:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
