As I have often remarked, in my youth I was taught to hate the sin, not the sinner. Having shed my religious faith, I've chosen to retain that ethic: I hate the belief, not the believer.

What a powerful post- thank you. The false division between hatred of 'sin' and the person is something you've captured so well.
I wish I'd met some passionate gay atheists much earlier in my life.

It's having your delusions put in your face

It's not about hate. I think anything supernatural is a fairy tale. I think people who believe in fairy tales are stupid. I won't tell them how stupid they are unless they try to tell me what you believe.

Not sure who this post is aimed at. My experience is that the content and actions suggested here are nonsense!

"You must try and remember this: atheists hate the belief, not the believer. Atheists don't hate you, they only hate your sick, awful, abhorrent, abusive beliefs. They hate the pain and hurt caused because of your beliefs. They hate seeing your belief keeping you trapped in a state of constant delusion.

I don't hate religious people at all... " and ... Atheists simply don't believe what they believe.. You twist the actually meaning of atheist...

Perhaps you mean antitheist?

"atheists hate the belief, not the believer."
this and the twaddle you are spouting in the sentence before it are simply your thoughts. You speak only for yourself!
As do I when I say I hate only the institutions and criminal people who propagate these lies for their own benefit at an unimaginable cost to others who are foolish enough to listen to them.
I like most atheists DO NOT tell believers "your god doesn't exist," I tell them there is no good reason to believe any god exists and that they are being irrational and dishonest with themselves in doing so, which is true. I tell them their churches are corrupt money making institutions who are systematically robbing them, which is true. I tell them their own theology and doctrines are contradictory and often evil and that they should actually read their own holy book to see what monstrous filth it actually is, which is true.
