Why do people who don't believe in God ask and answer questions in this category?

It would be great if we could actually have religious dialogue here without being assaulted by people claiming that there is no God, that we are stupid sheep, that we are brainwashed, and a myriad of other less-than-choice phrases. I'm not here to try to make you believe. Why do you come here to try to make others not believe, and to be as unkind to them as possible in your efforts?

How about a truce? We'll stay out of your atheistic business, and you stay out of our religious business. Deal?

Update:

For the record, and for those who have lumped me into some category of people who try to push religion down their throats -

I don't do that. I never have, and I never will. Please stop pushing your atheism down my throat. :)

Can we all have cookies and milk now and play nicely together?

    So if we agree to your deal, we could have gay marriage in america, and we would also have no Genesis in science class?

    How about we just divide America up , those states that vote republican can have Genesis in the science class and no gay marriage,

    is that what you mean?

    See, I don't have a problem with you believing in God, I have a problem with you wanting to put Genesis in the science room in public high schools.

    What if someone wanted to teach a different God, like Zeus, or a flying spaghetti monster?

    Now you have just changed science class into comparative religion?

    So this is a problem, since I want a scientific literate population.

    I ask questions about the Bible here and get good answers, like I used to think how foolish they think the earth is the center of the solar system, then someone on yahoo answers pointed out to me that indeed, that just means the center of gods universe not the physical universe.

    I think maybe your problem isnt with atheists, its with trolls, and yes they suck.

    No deal. I have the same right to discuss religious issues as everyone else. Christianity, Judaism and Islam are subjects I take very seriously because they are doomsday cults that are threatening not only the peaceful existence, but very existence of life on this planet. They have to be combatted, and if you are not prepared to enter into a rational discussion about this with me, or just ignore me, it is you who must leave.

    Did you know God said females can't go to heaven? Read Revelations.

    Did you know Jesus said it's okay if you don't wash your hands before eating? Read Matthew.

    Have a nice day.

    I don't believe in your god....so how about this..you stop pushing Christianity on everyone in the world, and maybe they would stop getting in your "religious" business. As for me, I'm here to stay, because Wicca is a religion.

    Because you DON"T stay out of our atheistic business you are trying to shove your beliefs down everyones throat. Just like the Taliban

If i will recommend, the query ought to probably be placed as "Why those without non secular ideals insist on attacking people who do have them?" direction that may not replace my answer lots as i'd ask why those with non secular ideals insist on attacking those without. Now whilst I shall slightly replace my respond under, it shall no longer get replaced lots, as I rather have observed a fashion interior the christian inhabitants to do basically what I wrote approximately and probably, basically possibly, i will get some to work out the blunders in that habit. *Poking people who sense this area is for one faith in basic terms, for who made one faith the owner of a topic remember for ALL religions* fantastically darned selfish in case you inquire from me.

    There are atheists that are still spiritual, my dear. However, we live in a country where both freedom of religion and freedom of speech coexist. And it ain't gonna go away.

    Yes, there are crude individuals, but as I myself have been told, ignore them.

    All spirituality is not Christian in nature, sorry to break it to you. It's an open forum, and there are exclusive sites out there. There are going to be jerks everywhere.

    Are they saying there is/are no god(s) period or no Christian god? Cause I mean the category is "religion and spirtuality" not Christianity. But I'm just saying.

    They just like to push buttons and make waves... they are the weak in spirit, so they are open to negative impulses and actions... Lucifer's minions...Just pass them up... don't open their responses or questions... or give them any responses ... turn you back to them... BOYCOTT is a good word.
