Do atheists disrespect religious people?

Yes

Side Score: 40
VS.

No

Side Score: 32

Not all do, but like every social group in society you have good and bad individuals. Atheism was in part a response to oppressive acts by theist, so neither side is guilt free. When it comes down to it, you have to look at the individual rather than the stereotype before you try to pass judgement on them.

The door swings both ways, but just for the sake of argument, you religious people started it :p

As much as religious people disrespect atheists and other people of a different religion.

Side: Yes

Yes, as a Christian that needs to stop. We have our beliefs and I'm not getting into the if its true or not thing, but that gives us a bad rep

Side: Yes

Some do some don't that goes without saying.

I'm mostly atheist I let religious people have their moment.

Nox is seriously atheist and I don't think he's left a comment anywhere on this site that wasn't biting to religious people

Yeah. Many do. I don't think that Atheists typically are as bad as many other religious groups though...

Based on how religion was the very foundation of civilization, the leaning shoulder of troubled men, and the moral guidance for the progress of science.

It is fairly easy to say that you must pay its due

No the foundation of civilizations were tribal societies were the elders ruled and they ruled because they were old. That is also the origin of hierarchy.

the leaning shoulder of troubled men

I don't see any actual real world application of mythology.

and the moral guidance for the progress of science

Scientific advance that went against religious mythology was banned and often punished by death.

There's such thing as freedom of belief. You should respect every belief, whether it's silly to you or not. Every human deserves to be respected, no matter their beliefs, race, age, appearance, popularity, ANYTHING. You should only judge someone on how they treat you and others, not make snap judgements because of their belief.

You being disrespectful to christians because of their belief is the same as Christians being disrespectful to other religions.

I find pretty much all religions equally retarded I don't discriminate in between them.

It has definitely been known to happen.

Not all atheists are disrespectful, just like not all Christians are judgmental. It's silly and a little stereotypical to categorize a whole group of people because of the actions of a few. :)

Side: Yes

Some do some dont. Some Athiests are super respectful. I know some incredibly nice Athiests. I know some very disrespectful Christians. It all depends on the individual. People just follow the stereotypes.

Side: No

I agree you cannot judge any group of people religious or non religious on the actions of a few of them some atheists can be very disrespectful but also so can some theists but the flip side is there are members of both groups who are very respectful of other peoples beliefs.

Just because you don't agree with someone doesn't mean you have to disrespect them

Side: No
1 point

So long there's a extremist in the group it'll always happen , not just atheists .

Side: No

No more than is warranted by those attacked. You really don't see unprovoked atheists acting exceedingly disrespectful towards religions but in general all atheists really don't like religion. However, the same is for religious people not liking non believers.

Side: No
1 point

if anything religious people disrespect athesits because there not following there religion or they dont believe in religion.

Side: No

They usually only disrespect religious people when they try to force their religion on people. But other than that, not really.

Side: No

Some do but I don't think the majority disrespect religious people.

Side: No
