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...

It shames me to admit that I do not read much outside of the authors I've previously mentioned because I want to go through all of their works before moving on. Even then, I haven't finished reading. I try not to just read one aspect or their philosophy, I try to get the bigger picture. Take Nietzche, for example, I've only perused Anti-Christ and Good and Evil and we both know he's written more than that. I tend to study the writers themselves by reading the works, more so then study their beliefs by reading them. Because from my experience, their main points isn't to tell us what to think or how to process our thoughts, they simply give (and convince us that there is) a different perspective on what to think and how to process. Period. A "higher man" would be able to think for himself, not let someone else think for him. I would read more to move on to the authors you suggested, but time doesn't allow much.
