Why do atheists try to answer religious questions here. They are not even religious at all. They just add a whole bunch of negative remarks.?

    They are evangelizing us. They hope to gain converts to their own dogmas.

    Because every survey taken shows that we know more about your "holy books" and religion than you do.

    Believers often criticize atheists about why we care to argue that there is no god and it seems they miss the point.

    As atheists, it is a fight worth fighting if you value your freedom. It is always the theists, believers, who attempt to sneak their beliefs into our laws, government, schools and our currency. They think they have the right to dictate how everyone must live, even when it comes to the bedroom, which in essence, violates our human rights. Not to mention, if all churches paid taxes, the rest of us would be better off.

    So the fight is on!

    There must be separation of church and state.

    There should not be any mention or endorsements of any mythological deities and/or organizations on any government buildings, public schools, public places, our pledge of allegiance and our currency anywhere.

    Would christians like it if our tax dollars were used to fund schools that teach islamic beliefs?

    Would christians like it if our court houses and police cars were tagged with the words “allah be praised”?

    Would christians like it if their kids were forced to recite islamic prayers before a football game?

    Would christians like it if politicians spoke of government adhering to islamic beliefs?

    That would be quite a trespass upon you and a violation of your rights wouldn't it?

    Atheists and others with different beliefs live with this violation daily with christian influence in government.

    Federal endorsement of a particular mythological belief or deity is a violation of the US constitution.

    Theists have the most distorted view about atheism:

    1. That we hate god (how does one hate something that does not exist?)

    2. That we worship the devil, that we are satanists (we don't believe in the devil either)

    3. That we are bad people & have no morals (we don't need a god to know right from wrong. Meanwhile 90% of the prison population is Christian).

    4. That something horrible happened to us in order to abandon god. (ridiculous and arrogant presumption since our conclusions are rational).

    5. That there is no love in us. (you are totally clueless)

    6. That we are evil people. (not believing in your particular god does not make us bad people)

    7. That we are angry people. (you mistake our efforts to have a rational world, where theists don’t interfere and violate the freedom of people, for anger)

    8. That Atheism is a religion. (VERY stupid thing to say. It’s like saying that not collecting stamps is a hobby)

    9. That atheism is just an “opinion” when it is actually a conclusion based on scientific findings.

    10. That we live without purpose. We are here to live, laugh and love.

    Atheism inspires us to make the best out of life since it is not like the life of a theist, which they treat as a dress rehearsal for an afterlife which is not going to be there when they die.

    I generally don't answer questions that are religious people asking about their own religion. Just things that are addressed to the public at large or us specifically.
