However, on the internet, atheists are generally assholes to Christians.
You mean it's different in real life? I thought I just lived in a particularly religious area (being in the Bible Belt and all). Where do all the atheist assholes go in real life? Do the asshole ones have no real life? Do they feel that it's ok to be an asshole on the internet but not in real life? I don't get it =/.
Muslims are never the target of atheist rage, for some reason.
I beg to differ.

Another thing interesting is that I've noticed that more Atheists are coming around just to be called Atheist and then they attack people who believe in other things. Personally, whenever I'm at school, I keep my mouth shut about my beliefs. However there are some kids that tend to just go off at someone that believe there is a higher being. I usually think, "Well they believe the same thing as I do but do they have to be so harsh?" I guess its just a cry for attention but I really feel bad for the people that do believe in a higher being for being harassed.
Yikes. Is this common across America? I've only seen atheists like that online, although that might be simply because I live in the Bible Belt.
At my school, the religious kids are the vocal ones about their beliefs, and an atheist can't say anything to their omgatheistsgotohelling without risking social damnation (rimshot). It's weird, because I don't even go to a private school.
Dang, that's bad. Even at the Bible Belt, that was unheard of (at least as far as I ever saw). At my old highschool, there were a few atheists (and probably more that I didn't know about), a few Chritians, and most of the people didn't care about religion. They were too busy being... er, highschoolers. My school suppressed most talk of religion in public (particularly on part of the teachers), which is effectively the same as promoting secularism (which goes hand in hand with atheism).
None.
