Atheophobia is the irrational fear and hatred of atheists that manifests itself as an aggressive prejudice against non-believers.

Tolerance for atheophobia is widespread because there are more believers in the world than non-believers. Religious beliefs are so closely held they make it difficult if not impossible for most religionists to accept those who do not believe in a supernatural diety. Perhaps it makes them angry that a minority does not share their fear of the unknown. Most religious groups have actively preached against Atheism and religious intolerance has created a constellation of inaccurate descriptions about atheists that include:

  • moral inferiority
  • embracing evil and decadence
  • living meaningless lives
  • unsuitable for positions of responsibility and authority
  • a desire to destroy religion
Religious intolerance is one of the worst causes of human tragedy in the world and atheists are at the top of that hate list. For some reason religionists believe it's acceptable to hate atheists.
