Why is it that Atheists automatically expect Xians to be perfect?

Because they don't understand Christianity.

I don't think Christians are perfect - far from it in fact. It is Christians who, in my experience, seem to judge and look down on others who don't believe the same things as them. If God created free will then they should accept what other people believe. Also, i think Christians are narrow minded because many take the Bible literally and refuse to even consider other possibilities.

I'm not saying Christians are wrong, and i'm rather jealous of people who 100% believe in the existence of God and Jesus as it must be a great comfort. I'm just saying that to progress as a person one must ask questions and find answers. Not just accept other people's.

I don't expect you to be perfect, as a matter of fact I don't see any difference between people of any religious group. You all act the same way, Christians don't stand out

I expect Christians to be imperfect. I've never seen a Christian even remotely close to perfection. The ones I know always seem to be struggling with sin, and wondering what Jesus would do.

Actually, the whole point of christianity is following in christs footsteps, which they seemed to utterly FAIL at.

Exhibit A: The Crusades. We Athiests will never let them live that one down.

Exhibit B: World War II. The Vatican Aided the Nazis and they confessed.

Atheists expect xians to be perfect? We want you to walk the walk before you talk the talk.We don't expect you to be even average let alone perfect.

Well you guys to seem to put yourselves on a pedestal now don't you? By stating that you have a strangle hold on the one true religion that puts you on higher level than the rest of us and so therefore more is expected! Plus when you threaten people will the hell concept your chickens sure as hell better be in order.

Because you're the guys always judging everyone else by your moral codes, when so many of you don't even live up to those standards.

Nobody expects perfection. But nobody likes self-righteous hypocrisy, either.

I don't know a single atheist that expects Christians to be perfect, and I know many that tend to expect Christians to be d--ks.

Why is it that when a Christian is put under the same microscope he/she puts others under, they suddenly declare "I'm not perfect, quit expecting me to be", as though that somehow excuses atrocious behavior. Take responsibility for yourselves and quit using childlike excuses.

I don't ever.

I don't believe in 'perfect' things. Christians do. Additionally they think that they will be 'perfect' with their 'perfect father' one day, so assumedly that's why they rag on the rest of us in the here and now.
