Are atheists angry?, Be respectful please. Options

[shortnsweet88]

Me and a friend of mine like to get into deep discussions about religion and so on and so forth. Just so that ya'll know where I stand, I am a christian...non denominational. I dont completely believe in certain aspects of organized religion...church is not my forte much lately. Anyways, to the point...

We were discussing how it seems to us that atheists seem to be angry. Either at Christians or just at the world in general. I like to do research on different religions and have explored many different options. I am simply inquiring about atheists just so I can understand more.

Do you think atheists are angry?
Are you atheist? Are you angry?

Explain why and tell me a little about what you believe so that I can understand.

Once again, please be respectful in everything you say and do me a favor and put a little thought into it...dont respond with a simple statement like "christians are hypocrites" or something like that.

Thanks...

Atheists aren't all angry. I mean, sure there are some of those former christian "I'm just atheist because I'm pissed off at my christian parents" teenagers... but that's not a good representation of atheists.
There are plenty of kind, helpful atheists who volunteer and do all that stuff. Atheists who, since they don't believe that some god will do it for them, help others themselves. They do things much more practical than sit at home and pray for some god to make everything right. They do something that will actually help people.

But most of the time, when atheists seem angry at christians or w/e its because christians are such assholes to them. Christians think that everyone, no matter how good they are, is evil if they don't believe in god and jesus and all that crap. (Not saying ALL christians have this viewpoint, just a lot of them)
Christians also have this tendancy to be close-minded, judgemental bigots.
Plenty of them stand outside abortion clinics yelling at everyone who goes in telling them they're baby-killers, that they're such horrible people, assume they must be sluts who just have sex with anything that moves... some of them protest at soldier's funerals. Almost all of them hate gay people, or at least tell them that they're horrible sinners. They have this tendancy to be a bit hypocritical...
I went to catholic school for almost my entire life. I have read almost every verse of all four gospels. I know what their bible teaches. And I know that most "christians" don't practice it.

I personally tend to be a bit... annoyed, for lack of a better word, at christians because of that hypocrisy. They slam the bible in your face... after horribly twisting it around... and they don't even follow the most important teachings.

I dont hate all christians, and I'm not angry at them as a huge group. I don't like the ones who are hypocritical, and I think everyone can understand that.

I am an atheist. I am not angry. I enjoy life, I enjoy things around me. I am generally a friendly person.
However, I won't let people talk shit about me, I do get angry when people judge people, and hypocrits annoy the hell out of me.

i agree with most of what you're saying, but you do understand that you are calling christians hyprocritical when you're saying a majority of us are like that?
i'm a christian and i disagree with alot of the normal christian beliefs. i don't think that anyone is better than me, no matter what their religion. i am for aboritions. i am for gay marriage. i am open-minded. i don't try to force my religion apon others.
i've only heard of one "christian"9you can't really call them that) church(not so much) protesting at a soilder's funeral. and they were more of a cult than anything. not all christians are like that and society wants to judge all of us based on a few whom claim to be christian. but we get called hypocrits.
