Why are atheists the most mistrusted minority in America?


Why are atheists the most mistrusted minority in America? Because theists have doubts…but they want their crutch. They suspect we could be right, but they love their crutch. Atheists are a threat to their beliefs and if we manage to take their crutch away, they will have to face the reality of their mortality. Most people cannot face the fact that life ends…they want to live forever. We all would like to live forever, but it isn’t going to happen and no wishful thinking will change that. Atheists have accepted this fact of life and nature and we are representatives of reason and reality and they hate us for it. Most people can’t handle the truth. Why else would such a small minority be a threat to a huge religious world majority? Deep down they must know we are right.

From a telephone sampling of more than 2,000 households, university researchers found that Americans rate atheists below Muslims, recent immigrants, gays and lesbians and other minority groups in “sharing their vision of American society.” Atheists are also the minority group most Americans are least willing to allow their children to marry.

Well, I beieve in part that it's the old guilt-by-association thing - we still get equated w/communists, hitler, stalin, pol pot, all those butt-munches.
& they whine about being persecuted???
Besides, those guys weren't 'true' atheists.
Hehehehe.

The listen to what everybody else says about us, instead of taking the time to actually get to know some of us and see that we're just like them (more or less), only without the bigotry, hatred and living in constant fear of eternal damnation.

Blech. I hate not being able to correct typos.

Steve - I know what you mean about typos. But I also know you meant to write "They" instead of "The". :-)

I hate when I make typos and can't fix them.

Why are we the most mistrusted minority in America? Isn't it obvious? We want to destroy the moral and religious fabric of America. If we get our way, homosexuals will engage in anal intercourse in broad daylight at the children's playgrounds in our public parks, kindergarteners will be smoking pot legally, adultery will be mandated by law. Is that the future we want for America?
