The problem, especially in america, is that atheists aren't really atheists, they are anti-christians.
They want nothing to do with christianity, and throw out everything that is even remotely christian. (you know, the Bible has a lot of good stories about morality and how to be a good person)
So, these people, throwing out the teachings of morality and without another moral grounding, they become quite solipsistic.
So, you have this person who is all about themselves (which is grating on people around them) and anti-christian. Thus, when they meet a christian, they will come off as quite hateful.
Now, you want to see some really hateful people?
Attack them on things they think they know about science.
"The world is flat"
Oh my Goddess, the hate that will fly.
How dare you question this thing that we all know is true, and...
"but, if the earth is a ball, how can we see something that should be over the curve of the earth?"
(and a fight ensues, and facts get disregarded)
So, attacking anyone's beliefs (even scientific beliefs) people get angry and defensive.
BTW, everything in the modern materialistic science books is wrong. EVERYTHING
So, when atheist say they believe in science, and everything you were taught is wrong, then you have a very weird belief.
I don't live in the States, but I wonder if that is really the case. In the UK a large proportion of people are just not interested in religion, but they will still live by what might be called 'Christian values'.
Generalisations are usually wrong.
Well, i live in the States, and i can say that all but a handful of atheists were actually anti-christians.
I say this from a point of view of growing up christian, then hating christianity, then learning many other religions and philosophies.
And, what i notice when talking to so many atheists is that they didn't leave christianity for another philosophy, they are just anti-christianity. There are no beliefs there, just anti-beliefs.
So your also trying to say that those who claim to be Atheists from the Middle East (Islamic countries) are actually anti-Muslims or anti-Islam instead?

i do not know. i do not know those languages and so cannot see their conversations.
Atheists should really look into Buddhism. The Buddhist philosophies work just fine without a god. The practices do not care about your beliefs.
The only bad part of that is that in Buddhism, one of the goals is meeting God.
Not as in, i hope to, someday to... but in that these are paths to Godhood. (literally what Yoga means) And its really kinda hard to stay an atheist after you know God.
And i don't mean as in, "i know god exists because this book said so", i mean as in "Hi God, how's it going?" "ITS SUCH A PLEASURE TO FINALLY MEET WITH YOU"
Lol
