Do you have something against atheists?

I am asking people of all religions. I am an atheist and would like to know if you have something against me or people like me. Your answer can be as simple as yes or no or you can give me more detail. I personally harbor no anger or dislike towards any faith.

    I don't care what people believe. Seriously... I don't judge people on beliefs or lack thereof; the only thing important is how you conduct yourself with others.

    I am a Christian and I have nothing against you! You have a right to believe there is no God, as I have a right to believe there is one. I don't judge people based on religion or lack of religion. I am a Pentecostal and my ex husband is atheist. No, we did not divorce over religious stuff. I don't hate you, dislike you, or despise you. I honestly care about everyone (believe it or not). I think if someone looks down on you then it's their problem not yours! Most Christians get a bad name because a lot of them are so judgmental and cruel about it, it makes most atheist think we hate them. When honestly some of us (including me) don't look down on you and don't judge you. It's your life and your choice. I do believe in God 100% but I will never judge someone because they don't believe in God.

    Atheists irritate Christians because for a Christian the concept of believing in God is very basic. So for someone to believe the complete opposite of something that for a Christian is very fundamental to life itself makes them frustrated. Some Christians funnel that frustration toward the person who is Atheistic (and vice versa), others funnel the frustration toward the ideology itself (and vice versa). In my opinion I think that opposing the ideology independent of the person is the most civil way to dialogue with someone who disagrees with your worldview, unless they intend to cause you physical harm. Often times people make it a personal matter when it is merely philosophical. When people learn to debate a topic without attacking someone in a personal manner they create a sincere environment for learning, and if we all learn something new then I believe a significant level of progress has been made.

    If you only not believe a God exist, no. But since the new atheism now attacking others belief, attacking religious symbols, insult people who believe as delusional, etc (all negative), then yes, it creates a big problem.

    Most of them will lie and say they "love" you. This is the typical Christian/Muslim ruse that's used to gain converts. The aim being to gain as many converts as possible, and eventually dominate the world. Both religions, in their unholy books, command believers to gain converts.

    No. I have nothing against you. I don't hate you, I don't dislike you. I don't agree with you, and that isn't likely to change. I have something against your beliefs, but not you.

    I don't like religious people thinking they are better than non-belivers just because they believe.
