First I'd like to make a point that I would avoid stating anything that applies all atheist, in that it would be like making a statement that applies to all Christians or theists. Just like there are many denominations or Christians, just about every atheist has his or her own set of personal beliefs and opinions. On to the question though. Atheists often hate Christianity because that is the religion that they know. Probably because they were raised Christian. Most importantly though, that is the religion that they are surrounded with. The anger is likely from a bad experience the atheist had with Christianity. Personally I was raised christian, and was very strong in the faith, and even considered myself a very well versed apologist, before my deconversion. Even though I've had many bad experiences with Christianity it has nothing to do with me being atheist and I have no ill feelings toward Christians, and I certainly do not have any anger towards you. If someone is hating you personally I can only guess as to the reasons, since I do not know your story. As for your search into what atheists believe, I thank you for seeking understanding. The only thing that can be reliably said about atheist's beliefs is that they do not believe that there are any deities. Anything beyond that depends on the individual atheist. Certainly there have been many people who called themselves Atheists, and they may have even done things that were wrong, or they may have even wronged you. I apologize to you for them and I ask that you understand we don't all hate you. I hope for nothing but good things for you. Romans 6:15 "What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid." Hello Amanda,

I clicked on a link that should tell me what atheists believe. Instead I found nine pages of a very angry man trying to disprove my Bible. I have one question for all atheists, why do you hate Christians, why do you hate me? Certainly there have been many people who called themselves Christians, or who did things in the name of Christianity that were wrong, or they may have even wronged you. I apologize to you for them and I ask that you stop hating me. I will love and pray for you. Romans 6:14 "For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace."

He was gifted in the manner in which he could express the truth about gods, beliefs and religion so that the average person can understand. we need him now more than ever.
