| 1. Good opinion. It differs from mine, but it's a good one nevertheless. |

From what I've seen with Atheists, they're as dogmatic as many a religioso. They're as defensive, offensive, and even patronizing when it comes to propagating their core beliefs, or ridiculing other's core beliefs, as any Catholic or Muslim, even.
I'm a Christian by choice. And because I'm a Christian, I take my faith and spirituality seriously. I never, ever try to convince a non-Christian, Christian fanatic, or Atheist of my p.o.v. and I never, EVER ridicule another person's beliefs and faith. Christians understand this is in accordance with Christ's teachings; to respect other people's faiths - something many non-Christians, Christian-fanatics, and/or Atheists have the tendency not to do.
Beliefs and spirituality is a personal choice, and that's how it should be. And that's how it should remain.
I subscribe to the "live and let live" position. Respect my choice and I'll happily respect yours. Ridicule my choice(s), and I can't take you seriously.
Live and let live, but do so with respect for other points of view and other faiths and beliefs.
Peace.:hippie:
