Whether you believe in God or not isn't my concern. A lot of Christians feel that the only way they can be a good Christian is if they convert somebody, and although part of Christianity is to go out and spread the word it doesn't mean forcing people into it.
Those of you who know me around here know that I'm not one to bring up religion a lot. In fact, I think the concerns of a lot of Christians in these types of situations are that atheists won't accept us if we say we're Chistian. You say that Christians put themselves on a pedestal above "heathens," but a lot of times I feel that atheists put them on a pedistal above "Brainless Jesus Freaks". So there's a lot of fear of one another on both sides.
One of the teachings of Christianity is to love your enemies just as you do your friends. It's to show by example how everyone, be you Christian, Jew, Muslim, or Athiest, should live your lives. Christians SHOULD be more concerned with peace than with morality. I can't speak for my fellow Christians on TPWW, but I for one am all about that. So maybe you'll change your mind about being an atheist in the future, but I'm not going to try to force my beliefs on you. We're cool.
As for the people who started this thread. I'm not trying to make you feel like crap. I'm just speaking what TerranRich said from his point of view. We don't want to be looked down upon because somebody else soiled our names.
