Whenever anyone makes a point of telling me they are a christian (or mulim, jewish, hindu, etc) I just ask Really, and why is that?

As an atheist since age 13, no man has ever rejected me because of my atheism.
However, I have rejected Christians who:
A.Tried to convert me; and/or

@1EarthLovingGal They see us from the prospective of fear because that is what their own doubts makes them feel. Anyone with any sense at all fears they might be wrong when they chose to believe something that completely lacks evidence when there is so much evidence that it is nonsense. That fear translates into hate and loathing as well as a deep seated need for them to attempt to force their beliefs on you in an effort to prove to themselves they are right...
