Why are atheists so interested in what and how people of faith think, when we could not care less what and how atheists think? What is the draw? :confused:

We don't. As long as people of faith stop pushing their religion on our government and on our children, we couldn't care less about what they believe.

Um, education? When you live in a country surrounded by Christians, it's a good idea to learn what they believe and why. If one were in an Islamic country then it would be Islam one would need to learn, if one was a nonbeliever.

And most Christians I've come across are very interested in nontheism and secularism - including you.

This is because they are intellectual and have intellectual curiosity.

People of faith are neither reasoned nor possess intellectual curiosity.

Just like conservatives are greedy and liberals caring.

Different groups have different attributes,.

I could be wrong but I think there's an intent behind her question. Of course its natural for us to be curious. I've talked to Christians who were curious as to why I was an atheist and how I think or how I see the world.

Most of the Christians that knew of my nontheism (prefered term) had a million questions for me.

It's natural.

Nope...I honestly could not care less and have never asked...
 
All I need to know is that atheists don't believe in God. Agnostics believe there's a 'higher power'. Muslims believe in Muhammed. Jews and Christians believe in God but Christians have a bonus, Jesus. Buddists believe in Buddha.

All I know is that for anyone to have some beliefs of a deity or higher power, it's usually a good thing to keep them in line. That's why most religions were created, to keep masses of people under control.

Then you do not understand what true faith really is...that is far from what Jesus taught...the truth shall set you free...

Atheism is not an active belief. It simply means a lack of belief in a deity.

So what is the purpose or the point of your thread?

I want to know why YOU are interested when you really don't want to hear our answers to the questions you ask...

I agree and think that it would really circumvent most of the problems we're having right now. Faith and religion of course are two entirely separate things. There are people of great faith in God that never mention Him or their faith. Then there are people who wear their religion as though it's a deflective jacket, some border on the deadly sin of pride about it. That's a fine line they walk when they do the religious preaching thing. People should just STFU and "LIVE" their faith, follow the 'golden rule' not hundreds of other rules that are man-made.

This is not correct.

Atheists believe there are no gods, agnostics are not sure, and theists believe in some sort of deity.
