Did anybody else notice?

I noticed that throughout the Religion and Spirituality section, there are more Atheist asking questions about God than Christians. I'm not trying to be funny or rude or anything it's just something I've noticed. For every christian or theist (I guess that's the general term) there are 3 atheist asking a question about God.

I don't think, in fact I know, any of them want to be converted, but atheist on the Yahoo! Answers talk more about god than my pastor.

Update:

Rudeness is a weakman's strength.

I also meant to put Spiritually speaking in the title of my question.

    Do you notice the context in which most of the questions from atheists is in?

    Like this one : Why does a Supreme Being need to murder innocent babies to make adults fear him? (Pharoah/first born Egypt)

    We are not looking for answers to questions like that, we know the answer...the goal is to push christians towards more critical thinking in regards to their book god...although critical thought typically is forbidden by the Church, there is always a chance we can save a life from being wasted if we appeal to common sense and logic.

    Funny how christians think they are the only ones on a mission to save people...

    If I am trying to be funny or rude, everyone will know all about it.

    Anyone one who does not like it, knows where they can stick my pages after they have printed them out...!

    Not only do Atheists seem to outnumber all the other groups put together, but besides Christians (i.e. churchgoers), all other religions are very poorly represented. Where are all the millions of Scientologists, Christian Scientists, Wiccans and actual Satanists?

    Where are the ECKists?

    I ask questions simply to learn the opinions of others.

    In doing so, I am called ignorant, told to get an education, and every other thing you could imagine. So why do I continue to ask? As I've stated -- to read what others think and believe.

    You would be amazed at the various differences within each set of beliefs.

    I do not wish to be converted.

    Most Christians think I am an atheist. Most atheists think I am a Christian. I am neither of these. My beliefs are unique to me.

    Well think for a moment . How many Avatars, accounts, can the evil intentioned Atheist's use on here? One user can have multiple Avatars, right? An honest person will only need one Avatar, am I right? It's an old online-forum troll trick, an illusion of sorts...

    Yeah your right I have noticed that quite a bit on here. I know they are not wanting to be converted they are just questioning our beliefs. And I think it is rather rude how they question our beliefs when it is none of their business. Making fun of our God like it is some sort of game to them well it won't be a game to them after they have been rid of.

    It follows the general trend, atheists tend to be better educated and like learning more about certain subject matters.

    Oh Good eye...... But ya see, we Christians KNOW where to go for our answers and it isn`t Yahoo... We have our teacher at hand.. God provided everything we needed and wrote us a letter with all things being made known to us... Have you never read Dad`s letter to you? That`s a shame

    "But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be MOCKERS IN THE LAST TIME, WHO SHOULD WALK AFTER THEIR OWN UNGODLY LUSTS. THESE BE THEY WHO SEPARATE THEMSELVES, SENSUAL, HAVING NOT THE SPIRIT. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."

    -Jude 1:17-21

    This observation has already been made tens of thousands of times before. In fact, a question exactly like this gets asked just about every day.

    You will learn much more about God from atheists than from theists.
