Fellow Atheists, I need your help?
I try to find good discussions on arguments on religion, I find the Atheist only seem to bash Christians. Why? ALL religions are bogus but I have yet to hear about an Atheist argue with a Jew, Muslim, or a Scintologists for that matter. Is it because we don't fear Christians? I saw billboards during the 2010 Christmas season and the only theme they were against was Christian. Why did they not bash Islam or Judaism. I feel the Christianity is bashed more because it is the target that does not fire back. Tell Jews that they live in a fantasy world and be ostracized from society for being a neo-nazi. Bash Islam and your life is threatened and the apologist will condemn you. But bashing Christianity is A-OK because it is seen as some revolutionary view and the people who go against the church are seen as enlightened geniuses. Even though we have heard is all before. When will Atheist take the belief that religion should be out of the government and to say that you have to bash the other major religions as well. I know that the others get bashed but nowhere near as much or as bad as Christianity. TL;DR why do we Atheist pick on Christianinty more than other BS religions?

if you want to pretend that you don't believe in god, that's fine, but stop with the moronic rant
"I find the Atheist only seem to bash Christians"
"know that the others get bashed but nowhere near as much or as bad as Christianity"
I didn't think that you could actually be stupid enough to contradict yourself

I personally don`t find this to be true . The Atheists I know are but invisible to most and care less of discussion or arguments of such. People are people were all the same except for the smallest exceptions which don`t mean a thing. If big money and religion takes over everything real problems will emerge and nothing will be the same.

Haha. You're definitely not an atheist.
Atheists think all religions are stupid and are just as quick to bash other religions besides Christianity. There's just more Christians around so they probably bash them more often because the opportunity presents itself more often.

I pick on Christians because they are the ones attempting to screw MY government, specifically. The islamic or jewish influences in the US are relatively negligible, while Christians are busy getting creationism and general indoctrination into the educational and legislative systems. If Islam had a serious influence on the US government, i would bash it, too, but it's not, and I choose to deal with my own problems before fixing other people's problems.

I don't bash any religion. I mainly argue with Christians though because there is more of them in the United States. If this country was mostly made up of Jews, muslims, etc. I'd probably argue with them too if they were up for it.

"each time I see an atheist asking a troll question, posing as a Christian (always a bigoted one), " or you simply need to think that. When you consider that there are some very bigoted very idiotic participants on the Christian side. But i guess it is easier to only call them atheist trolls. "and not the Christians." Uh huh. "his question doesn't even sound like what a Christian would say." I've seen Christians spout probably the most hateful drivel imaginable. Folks like NCWJ.

There are a few of us not afraid to call Islam into question with the same veracity as we do Christians--because you cannot be telling the truth about what you find fault with in Christianity and make exception for Islam.
But we do so knowing we will be called "racist" and sometimes deleted.
Gay British conservative and ex-Muslim Liberal in England agree with you, that it's "safe" to criticize Christianity and to call criticism of Islam as "racist", though it's a cop out:

ps. Please stop capitalizing atheist if it's mid-sentence and not part of a title. Atheist and atheism aren't proper nouns.

I'm an atheist, and I bash everyone equally, but there are more Christians where I live. I live in the bible belt and amazingly I'm still alive. I have dirt on every religion though.

i will discuss whoever I discuss with. Christians tend to be on here more than other religious, but I have had discussions with others.
Don't forget atheists in islamic countries have been jailed or stoned for even just saying they are atheist. It would be irresponsible in the extreme to encourage someone to put their life at risk and unfortunately challenging islam usually result in just that.
Its up to us in more free countries to speak for those that can't
But why don't you start by doing so, post links to discussion or blogs.
Dont complain if you dont want to try fixing it.

Muslims are scum. They have long ago lost their right to live in this planet.
Jews are idiots. Cowardly Jews recently threw rocks at women because they were praying at the Western Wall. It's insane to pray but even more insane to throw rocks at women.
Does that make you feel better?
One more thing: I live in Idiot America, also known as the United States of Jeebus. It's not the Jewish ***holes and Muslim scum who are trying to make my country a theocracy. It's the Christians. Christian scum are the problem. They get the most ridicule because they deserve it.
