Answer:

It appears to be human nature to want to give the "right" answer. As a consequence atheists provide secular answers to questions like "When was Jesus born" or "How was man created" based on scientific or historical data, and the religious use their positions and teachings to answer astronomical questions like "How was the Universe created"

In both cases the answers fall into two categories - blunt and unsatisfying ones that read like "Becauz u are a fool and my position is het only rite one" and good answers which point out the position held by the answerer using good grammar, spell check and referenced facts.

Answer

Because atheists are generally very informed about various religions and can often provide an informed answer from an objective perspective.

Answer: On wiki it is because anyone is allowed to answer anything on wiki so long as they are informed and not trying to start heated debates, belittle, demean, or go totally off topic to point fingers at another group. It's an open community. In life in general, it's normally because just as people look for answers, when they see someone looking for one, they can sympathize and so, even if they are wrong or not, they share what they feel.

Out of respect and conformity. Most Atheists don't try to convert people into atheists - they just want to be respected and for the world to know that they exist and shouldn't be disrespected.

Why are there more universities established by theists compared to none by atheists?

A:The first university in the world, the Academy, was founded by Socrates, who expressed views that could be regarded as atheist rather than pagan. In modern times, atheists do not formally organise specifically as atheists, so there is no central organisation of atheists. However, atheists rely on and encourage the secular governments to set up universities. The best universities in the wolrd are these secular universities. Those universities set up by religious groups are almost always dedicated to achieving religious objectives, iand often favour the advancement of religious students in preference to non-religious applicants.


Are atheists terrorists?

Generally, No. There certainly have been terrorists who do not believe in God, e.g. are Atheists. However, the vast majority of Atheists are not terrorists and there are fewer Atheist terrorists per capita than any other religious group. Atheists in the United States are slandered as terrorists and similar by religious people who may feel threatened by them or find their lack of belief repellent. This is simply name-calling and does not change the reality of whether Atheists commit acts of terror.

What do religious people think of atheists?

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.
