People are not all the same even within populations that happen to share the same belief. To say "Christians are better behaved than Atheists" likens to "One ethnicity is better behaved than another ethnicity". Both statements group many people into just one description; a stereotype.

Answer:

If we use divorce as an example of behavior, there have been several studies to examine comparative rates of divorce among various groups. While the specific values vary slightly the ratio of the groups are generally consistent. A typical result shows: Variation in divorce rates by religion:

  • Jews: 30%
  • Born again Christians: 27%
  • Other Christians: 24%
  • AtheistslAngostics: 21%
The Brana Research Group that conducted this particular poll and others concluded "We rarely find substantial differences" between the moral behavior of Christians and non-Christians."

Should atheists know that Christians have ways of identifying their atheist enemies with chat rooms meet and greets social events and venues and attend these posing as atheists to study their enemy?

A:As an atheist, I do not feel that many Christians consider me an enemy. If they do so regard me, they are welcome to 'study' me openly. There is room in this world for all kinds of beliefs and non-beliefs. What a scary question? Many wars have been fought because of religious belief but I would hope that most atheists do not want to be enemies of anybody. We can be better than that.


Do atheists lack the values of the holy?

No. Atheists in general have the same moral and ethical values as do Christians and members of other religions. If there is a difference, it is that atheists hold the values that they do hold because they believe in their intrinsic merit, rather than in the hope of reward or fear of hellfire. Apart from religious faith, atheists do not lack values attributed to followers of religions.

Do atheists hate Muslims more than Christians?

I can't answer for all atheists, and will not attempt to do so. "Atheism", means you are without a religion, it does not mean that atheists hate religion. Many Atheists are hostile towards religion in general, mainly due to the discrimination these religions teach, there's no point arguing against this, the bible teaches as much discrimination as any other holy book, such as stoning homosexuals, or killing infants. Some Atheists hate Christians more. Some Atheists hate Muslims more. Some hate Sikhs. Some hate Jews. Most hate Jehovah Witnesses, and other religions that knock on your door handing out leaflets to stop you burning in eternal damnation. (Along with the rest of the world. And some Atheists simply don't care.
