Opinion:
Generally, religionists have very little respect for atheists. Curiously, they view the atheist as a threat to their own beliefs and think of atheists in religious terms since they seem to possess no other way to describe how a person views human existence. Perhaps they are put off by fact-based thinking. Many preachers condemn atheists from their pulpits, consider them to be agents of "Satan" and promote a mythology of all the bad things atheists do. Many religionists are obsessed with atheists and believe that atheists are obsessed with religionists. Of course, that is not true since atheists care little for what others believe and are not dedicated to forcing their non-belief on others.

Answer:
It depends both on the person doing the viewing and the person they are viewing. There is no general atheist view of religious people any more than there is a bald persons' view of people with beards. For the most part atheists have no position of religious people in general. Some religious people and some atheists are so miserable that they cause strong reactions.

∙ 9y agoIt would be wrong to give any inclusive answer, since there are different religions, and differing individuals in each religion. In my own opinion, atheists are people who have become detached from the original traditions of all mankind, like an astronaut floating way from the lifeline.

∙ 9y agoThere is no one answer. Some religious people treat atheists with respect, accepting their absolute right not to believe in any deity. At the other extreme are those, fortunately few in number (other than among Middle-Eastern Muslims), who treat atheists with utter contempt. In between are the great majority of religious people who do not understand Atheism, believing that atheists are in some way misguided and need to be brought back into the fold.

What do you think of atheists?
This isn't really an opinion service! Atheists are people who don't believe in a god. Plenty of people don't believe, there is no evidence that atheists are better or worse than theists - it's easy to think of evil things done by atheists (Stalin) or theists (911 bombers) just as it's easy to think of good things done by atheists (Churchill, Bob Geldof, Betrand Russell) and theists (Ghandi).Views on atheists differ widely.Among the religious, atheists are many times used a symbol of moral decay of society. To the religious, godlessness is something to be feared. Many people like to equate atheism with the works of brutal dictators and extremist leaders, like Stalin, Mao, Hitler, etc. This being said, there are plenty of religious people who understand that atheists are not evil simply because of their lack of faith.To atheists themselves, the idea that there is no such thing as God is simply a statement of rationality. It often does take courage to admit such a view, as it is not widely held in the United States. Generally, atheists are highly committed to social justice and the welfare of humanity as a whole.

Of course. In fact, atheists are more accepting of people who think differently because they have no religious agenda to promote, no beliefs they feel the need to press on others.~Above answer is well put, but i might add, i myself do not accept the religious beliefs of another person, but i can accept the person. I mean, by 'accept' i do not share the belief, nor admire it in anyway, but rather, i accept the person, and accept their right to believe as they wish.
