    Atheists. Liberals, which have a more atheistic belief system than conservatives, we're found in one study to be less able to predict why the other side felt the way they did about the issues than the conservatives did of the liberals. This suggests they haven't asked.

    All of those adjectives are forbidden by Jesus Christ, and therefore forbidden to Christians. Jesus commanded Christians to love and care for others, even those who persecute us.

    The only profile that would have people believe a trash book, that says that it is better to be ignorant, that says that there is a 'chosen' people, that other people can be attacked, exterminated and enslaved, that homosexuals have to be stoned to death, is that of christian.

    Atheists do not have a 'book of hate' like the bible.

    That said, christianity is not likely to MAKE people become ignorant, hateful, bigoted, racist and homophobic, sine by definitions christians have to *already* be.

    Definitely atheist because Christians only obey God! And none of those words are found in God's word

    I think you have it backwards. Just as with the power and money that government positions offer it's not actually power that corrupts, rather power attracts already corrupt people.

    Religion offers justification for ignorance, hatred, bigotry, racism, and homophobia and thus attracts people who already have those attributes. People without those attributes soon find it more difficult to find value in religion.

    Both "Christians" and "Atheists" don't REALLY believe in what they claim to believe. People who call themselves "Christians" don't believe that they are TRULY immortal, as Christ teaches - or even that all GOOD people go to heaven when they die, as Christ also teaches - because if they DID believe that, they wouldn't be in the least bit afraid to die themselves, or even be reluctant to kill OTHER good people - hey! by killing them you're only IMPROVING their condition, because you're sending them to heaven, right? - while those who call themselves "atheists" (or "Atheists", with a capital "A") are always asking for proof from others that God EXISTS, forgetting all the while that they themselves have no proof that he DOESN'T!

    Cheers.

    B. for ignorant, hateful, bigoted, and racist

    A. for "homophobic" (because "homophobia" is good).
