Answer 4

That we sacrifice animals, run around nude in the light of the moon, and cast evil spells to harm others and are in league with the Devil.

But a lot of people still actually believe that is what we do(?!)

We can thank Hollywood and every cheap shlocky movie and television shows for that massive misconception.

2) That I am going to h**l

3) That I must not have any morals

4) That My beliefs are wrong

5) That I am not a good and loving person

All which could not be further from the truth.

Answer 10

I'd have to say the biggest misconception is that they think I care what they say.

Answer 11

that morality can only come from a magic book

then again, i find most religion to be offensive to the human condition

Answer 12

Answer 13

That people believe I worship a 'devil' just because I don't believe in God and alos that I have no morals for the same reason.

____

Answer 15

That  racism  is engendered of unthinking hatred   or  that  racism entails hate and negative  wishes towards lesser races.

That  those  who are against  the international jew zionist conspiracy

are "anti-semitic".  In the first place, the only reasonable meaning

of the term anti-semitic would  mean someone who  cannot

abide any of the semitic peoples--this would include arabs.

It's often-as-not applied to people who cannot  abide  the activities

of people who are not even semites, but  who are the descendents

of  western asians, slavs and europeans who chose "jew"  just to

try to stay  out of a conflict.

That anyone who calls him or herself "jew" is automatically

above reproach and merits sympathy.

That palestinians must be called "arabs" only, since there never

was a SOVEREIGN STATE of  palestine.  This is tantamount to

insisting that all africans must be called "*****"--odd how you won't

see  the same people doing both though.

That U.S. citizens are approving  or symathetic to the

"special relationship" between   zionist-occupied  Palestine

and   their government.   When most know the truth about

this relationship  they are not approving  of it, yet we're

all equally liable to be blown up or have our head chopped

off as are our government officials  who  are highly-paid

in one way or another to  maintain this one-way  parasite/host

"special relationship".

Answer 16

That I am a non-thinking sheep.

HELLO!  Deism is ALL ABOUT thought, logic, reason, etc.

Answer 17

That we are untrustworthy.  Statistics have shown that Atheists are the group in America considered the least worthy of trust.  

Answer 18

From non-Christians: that I don't accept science.

From non-Catholic Christians: that I worship something or someone other than God.

Answer 19

Probably that it is devil worshiping. I think I'm smart enough to know rather or not I worship the devil.

After that would be fluffy bunnies.

Answer 20

That we don't believe in Jesus, we worship Mary, and we aren't Christians.

Got an idea what religion I am?  

That's right I'm a Catholic!  

Answer 21

That pagans are all devil worshiping, sexually promiscuous, lunatics trying to recruit new worshipers.

Answer 22

That my God and my Creator isn't real.  

Answer 23

That all Muslims are terrorists and that all Pagans are devil-worshippers (I'm pretty sure none are, actually).  But I also find it very offensive when a very religious person will start bashing me because I'm an atheist.  They think that I'm just h**l-bent on calling them and their religion stupid and claiming that they believe in the equivalent of the tooth fairy.  Actually, I'm very interested in religion.  Just because I don't believe it doesn't mean I hate it.
