Atheists, Why do you care that some of us are believers?

We don't - unless you try to legislate based on faith.

Since I don't care I'm too lazy to finish this se

I couldn't care less and I don't say your right or wrong. I only answer questions aimed at Atheists.

We don't. I at least would defend your right to believe whatever you want to the death. However, that right ends when you try to influence law and politics with your beliefs.

I don't care- unless you can't keep your beliefs to yourself.

Which is where the problem comes in. I live in America, where Christians constantly try to convert us and push their beliefs into our laws, schools, and government. Since that affects me every day, your beliefs have now become my business.

Keep your beliefs to yourself, don't try to convert people, and keep out of the law and government and no one will care what you believe.

well I don't fvcking know. why do christians care if nonbelievers marry people of same sex?

if christians wouldn't be trying to put society in a cage, society wouldn't be trying to put them in a cage.

Your personal belief doesn't bother me one bit.

It's the hatred, bigotry, and intolerance of some believers that I find offensive. It's the attempt to force your beliefs into law that I find offensive. It's people going around and damning me to hell (the worst thing a theist can imagine) for my lack of belief in god(s) that I find offensive.

So, it's not that you believe. It's the fundamentalists that I take issue with, regardless of your religion.

Generally, not at all, except when some try to impose their beliefs on others or try to disadvantage minority groups. I get on well with just about everyone, religious or not.

I sometimes explain how I came from being a devout Catholic to realising that faith was based upon nothing but itself, that science explained nature satisfactorily without needing supernatural beings, and that religious beliefs were no different to those of ancient beliefs in gods and goddesses.

I try to answer based on my knowledge of scripture, theology, mythology and religion. And I sometimes try to trace religious beliefs, and Bible stories, back to the earlier myths from which they derive.

I think I do so in a neutral manner most of the time, although I might express an opinion concerning actions of a few religious people or organisations that adversely affect freedom of choice and civil and human rights, such as the infamous Proposition 8 in California.

When you tell me that I shouldn't be allowed to live in the country I was born in because I don't believe like you, or that certain people shouldn't be given the same freedoms as everyone else because of your beliefs... Then we have a problem.

Which is exactly what believers have been doing in the U.S.

Could you throw your whiny straw man on the pile over there please?

because it's a bit funny, I must admit

We don't. Not even a little.

But what we won't let you do is put that stuff in our public schools, and in our government.

Ya wanna live in a theocracy? Iran, honey, Iran.
