How should Atheists and Religous people treat each other?

Personally, I think they should treat each other with respect.

Maybe that's because I'm Christian!

What a stupid question.

We should treat those mass delusional loonies with respect.

Especially as we push them off a cliff.

Who are you calling the mass delusional loonies?

The guys who believe that some omnipotent being created everything?

Or the guys who believe that...erm...the universe just suddenly decided to spring into existence?

I'd guess with the cold civility with which one treats any mortal enemy outside of open warfare. There is no middle ground as the two beliefs are simply not and never can be compatible with each other.

Au Contraire, Monsieur! I'm a Christian, yet I believe in evolution, the big bang, LGBT marriage rights, sex changes, and, only in extreme cases, abortion and euthanasia.

I also beg to differ, none of that stuff has anything to do with Atheism.

Atheist should mind their own business, just like liberals if they don't like something, no one should have it or do it, and that my freind is a mental disorder.

That's a two road street there Yubba.

Both possibilities are equally absurd but in general I think Atheists just want Christians to get out of their lives, and quit trying to pass their own form of "Sharia law".

And I don't think the two are mutually exclusive as laws of nature have to have been created somehow. It's more whether you can accept they were created by a will, or not.

Everyone should treat everyone with respect.

Except perhaps people who make useless polls.
