o since the atheist doe snot believe the Bible to be true and that there is no God, why then are they obsessed with christianity and attack it at every turn? if people want to believe, then it is none of the atheist business, if people want to preach it, it is none of the atheist's business, if people want to use faith healing on their children, it is none of the atheist's business.
What has being an Atheist got to do with any of this.
It is no ones business about preaching except when it encroaches some one else whether Atheist, agnostic, deist or theist, when someone tries to force their beliefs down someone else's throat, then it becomes their business.
As for faith healing, no one is stopping that, but when the person is in danger of dying, then it becomes the government's burden to save the person from needless death and if the faith healers don't get help, and the patient dies, it is manslaughter, which has nothing to do with atheists. The same would go for anyone who doesn't seek help to save a child from dying theist or not.
and on we can go with that list. the atheist wants to practice their unbelief in peace yet they will not allow the believer to pactice their beliefs in peace. if a family wants to go to church and have christian ideas taught in public school, then it is none of the atheist's business. if they do not like it, they can build their own schools and avoid the church buildings.
Teaching religion in public schools has nothing to do with atheism, it is against the establishment clause to the 1st amendment of the Constitution.
the atheist has NO authority to determine what other people do in their own families, they only have to deal with raising their children properly and that includes teaching them to mind their own business. All parents and governments must give an account for their actions thus the atheist should be wise and focus their attention on their responsibilities and not the responsibilities of others.
Again it is not the atheist who is trying to tell a person how to raise his children, it is the government which sets certain standards which if not followed, will result in either arrest or the taking of the child from the parents. Again this will occur to anyone, not just theists.
You seem to be the one who is obsessed. Most Atheists, and any other group, couldn't care less about your beliefs, as long as they do not cause harm or do not go against his rights.
