Atheism poll

[Alex+R 0]

A 2006 study showed that atheists are the most hated minority in the United States, far ahead of muslims, homosexuals and everyone else. But their numbers are growing. What are your opinions on the group?

Tx!

I tried to not pick a category on the bottom, but that was not an option.

So I picked atheist.

I believe these choses are their own after they are adults. Not for me to decide.

Oops, sorry, poll is flawed.

It also should have been worded more strongly.

Flawed poll!

Well, I can't imagine too many people would be happy if their kid turned out to be a Hare Krishna. So people can put that if they really don't object to anything. (They probably just don't know enough about HKs.)

Hm, so far only the atheists would date atheists, I presume.

The poll just started but so far it appears that the historical animus against Jews is no more.

They can thank the Hare Krishnas and the gheys for that!

and the atheists!

Oh yeah, the atheists. I forgot about the atheists. Everyone always forgets about the atheists.

Who? The atheists? Oh ya, the atheists.

I always pray that my children(in the future) would be a good Christian.

I am a pagan pantheist...modified atheism, hard to explain. I don't believe in the gods as literal beings, rather anthropomorphic symbols of the forces of nature, the nature of man.

I never really considered dating anyone who wasn't atheist/agnostic/pagan pantheist.

I don't care about the last one. If you had put maybe Scientologist in there there would be another answer...

That kinda describes me as well.

I tend more toward "Don't really think about it", even though I own pagan.us. lol I hardly visit my own site these days.

I would consider dating (if I were single) anyone but a Muslim or Christian. Or a Scientologist. I'd prefer a pagan, athiest, agnostic, or a "don't care".

I would be upset if Jordan became a Hare Krishna, REALLY upset if he became a Christian, livid if he became a Muslim (because I'd know he was doing it just to be a git), and I'd probably have to beat him if he became Scientologist. In the end though, it's his decision. I wouldn't tell him what to do, but I don't have to like what he does....

Just don't bring any damn bibles into my house....I don't allow sick porn.

Not sure what to call myself but I do know I don't believe in the Judeo-Christian God.

Don't care what Anna grows up to be as long as she's a good person and stands up for herself. Her religion is her choice, and hers alone

You're right, I know nothing. But I took Mormon as my option (seeing as it was last on the list, and I had to choose something).

I'm agnostic, as is Alex...dating an atheist is completely fine. My mother is Catholic and married a Protestant - thought that as they shared the same belief (just a different denomination) that they'd be fine. Bzzt! Wrong. Her sister, who is also Catholic, married an atheist and he's been very understanding and supporting of her. Of course how you cope with another's religion depends upon the person, but I think it must be a little easier if you don't both have very strong beliefs.

I'd hope I'd find it within myself to support my child no matter what religion they were. So long as they grow to be respectful and tolerant of others I would not mind at all.
