I cannot comprehend the amount of bigotry and intolerance I see among my fellow atheists sometimes.

You would think a group of people who constantly experience religious persecution, attacks, disrespect, judgement, harassment, and blatant hatred at the hands of others for their religious beliefs would be more understanding towards others experiencing the same thing.

How can you sit there and demand respect and religious freedom and then turn around and persecute another groups religion and treat them just as badly if not worse as we get treated?

I can understand having prejudice against the religious. I have been beaten and abused by christians. However just like in all aspects of life there are good and bad people in every religion. There are extremists and kind. In EVERY religion and it is NOT okay to spread hatred and bigotry to an entire group of people just because you have met some bad ones. I've met bad Christian's, I've met good ones. I've met bad atheists, and good ones. I've met bad muslims and good, and every other type of human being out there there are good and bad. It is not okay to hold an entire people responsible for the actions of a few extremists. At all.

The hypocrisy in it is disgusting and atheists like that make me absolutely livid.
