Why do theists think all atheists are anti religion?

I know that I am. I won't try to say I'm just an atheist. I openly admit I am anti-religion. That said, many atheists are just atheists. They quietly go through life, knowing there is no god. Then I start a thread, admittedly to rustle some theistic jimmies, and they just post that they too are atheists, and they state why. Suddenly the religious folks jump on them the way a dog jumps on a meaty bone. Why? Why can't an atheist respectfully state what they are and why? If we have to respectfully listen to why you have a relationship with Jesus or Mohammed, or Vishnu, then why can't we state that we have a deep relationship with science? Furthermore, why can't atheists evangelize? If theists can ride around on mission and ask people if they've found Jesus, why can't an atheist talk to someone about science, and how the old theistic notions of how our world work are being cast aside for the concrete theories that predict so much? Discuss respectful atheism, and why theists won't allow it.

  • If you are "anti-religion" then you are exactly that which you claim to "hate". Most "atheists" claim that religion causes division and war. But then themselves have ZERO tolerance and are more divisive themselves. I am happy to let individuals be free to make their own spiritual decisions and coexist. Atheists seem to hate freedom.
