Answer 2

my stupid fanatic neighbor tries to harass me whenever she had a chance, she wants to save my burning soul.per se!

Answer 3

yes my teacher made me look like a fool in front of my entire class (I'm a High School Student) the moment she found out I was an atheist. She just kept talking and talking about how "stupid" ALL atheists are and how they do not know what they are talking about. I tried to get a point in but she wouldn't let me, she just kept blabbering on.  

Answer 4

In many various way throughout my life I have been avoided and passed over because I am a Christian.

Real Christians make sinners uncomfortable.

It is nothing compared to what my brothers are suffering in the earth at the hands of Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and atheists, and all others who hate the truth.

"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. "

John 15:18-19

Answer 5

christians hate me all the time for my non-belief in religion

Answer 6

Not in my country no! People don't seem to care here. We don't even know what another person's religion is.

The only time you can tell is if someone wears traditional clothing like Jewish and Muslim people. But no, we don't discriminate, preach or care like they do in the states.

Even gothic, satanic people have the right to live. Why discriminate when they can do a job or contribute to society?  

Answer 7

Maybe, at this moment I don't dwell on it

Answer 8

For those who are extreme...ur religion probably contradicts theirs and their in denial that they've been taught wrong and their religion is right, so they take it out on u and ur religion..

Answer 9

Unfortunately yes.

One major case has been recognised as religious discrimination in a (Australian) Federal Paper on the topic.

Other cases are less open. I was fired because of my faith - only the office "cooked the books" to suggest after 7 years of loyal service I'd suddenly become a problem.  I know people refused service because of their faith (illegal in Oz) but when challenged in front of witnesses lied claiming it was because of a false stereotype based on the religion.

Answer 11

Only on this site, but I keep coming back.

Answer 12

yeah christians harass me all the time because I'm a devil worshiping atheist.

Answer 13

Billyboy, the reason we hate you is because you are IGNORANT.  Understand that? I-G-N-O-R-A-N-T.  Do you know what the word means?  If not, look it up.  It means lacking knowledge. Christianity refutes intelligence and education.  It has to be done away with.

Answer 14

My friend religions is puerto rican, they hate him because he has cruxifix , they ssay your god is not exist.  so maybe that is bad, hating religion is bad

Answer 15

Talk about stereotyping!  I've been looked up and down by a few Christians for wearing a Motorhead T-Shirt and having (naturally) dark hair!  I suppose I'm kinda lucky they didn't try to convert me like they do with the goth kids all the time here!

I've have never had anyone hate me because I'm an Athiest, except the Christians who challenge me and question my motives!  My motives are that I'm very happy without being pigeonholed into some religion in my life and I like who I am as a person!
