Why do atheists keep answering questions about religion?

They have a right to express their views as well, even though they are against it.

I Agree 100%!...Also I might add..folks should stop asking religious questions if they don't believe!!

Why do you keep asking this question over and over?

"It was obvious that he had no reason."\n\nPerhaps he just didn't want to explain it for the 5 billionth time.  It gets old, you know?  I mean, hey, if someone answers "yes" to whether or not they believe in God, NOBODY tries to make them stay put and explain themselves for half an hour.  Someone answers "no" and suddenly it's 20 questions.\n\n"he was not a good person ,he cheated on his wife ... So do you agree all the atheists are bad people"\n\nThat's quite a leap, kiddo.  Concluding ALL atheists are "bad people" because you know ONE atheist who cheated on his wife.  And no, I wouldn't agree that all atheists are bad people just because your ONE friend did a naughty thing.

Because people who DO believe in god try to force their opinions down our throats.\n\nIn the UK we are often woken on Sunday mornings by god-botherers knocking our front door. "Have you heard the good news? God is alive and he loves you!"\n\nIt's not like we have to hear atheists knocking our front door and saying "Have you heard the bad news..?"\n\nWhilst small-minded, arrogant god-botherers and bible-bashers insist on trying to make me believe their twaddle, I reserve the right to poke fun at their beliefs. Believing in god, Jesus, Mary and the holy ghost is - to me - like believing in the Loch Ness monster and the bogeyman. It's all rubbish and not worth my time hearing, so don't hassle me and I won't hassle you.

People like answers, not questions.  Answers make sense of something unstable and bring order to that instability.  If you question something, you are doing so for your own sake, but at the same time you are necessarily (though probably not intentionally) challenging someone else's sense of stability/security (since that other person would see no reason for his/her belief system to be questioned).  You're not meaning to hurt anybody else, but it's just that too many people cannot easily face a disturbance to their beliefs; they view the one who asks the question as the problem.

Some may do it for the same reason religious people send missionaries out.  They want to share their perception of the truth with those who they see as lost.  Maybe you should look past the annoyance, and be grateful they care.\n\nOthers may do it because they find it unbelievable that people can believe in something so simplistic.  These athiests may be disdainful of people who believes something just because it feels good, and they (religious people) refuse to see things as a rational person would because they don't want to rock the boat in which their beliefs are floating.\n\nOthers may be tired of all the religious people who think that whatever the higher being is running everything (if there is a higher being) belongs to christians/muslims/etc.. just because these people have named it/him and have outlined all his characteristics, etc.\n\nAnd maybe people are bored on a Saturday night and they have found there is more action in the religion & Spirituality section than in the household cleaning section (if there is even such a section).

Firstly, I recon atheists don't want to face up to the fact that they can't make it without a Savior. Secondly, they prefer the idea that in the end they will not be held accountable for their actions. Thirdly, atheists practice a religion - by faith they believe in no God - a convenient way to give irresponsibility the thumbs-up.\n\nHere's a reality check for atheists: You will only be set free by the truth. You need to accept Jesus as you Savior, ask His forgiveness and repent. Then you'll know freedom! Guaranteed!

WOW!!!! People are crazy and very rude when they apply their beliefs to how they judge others. \n\nWe (atheist) are not sad, lonely imoral people. We did not chose to become atheists because we were angered or felt abandoned by a god. We became atheists through years of thought and understanding. We do not get worried when you say it's our stubborn choice to not believe in your god and that we are going to burn in hell.\n\nPlease quit thinking this.

It's frustrating at times, but it's also an opportunity. \n\nWhy would they be here if on some level they weren't searching for something?\n\nAnd if they really are just making fun because they can, it sort of undermines the whole "atheists are more moral than Christians" angle they're working.\n\nLet the wheat and the tares grow up together, right?

When religion tells you not to question, what they are telling you not to question is the answers they give you.

Why do people always assume that athiests are nonbelievers out of ignorance? A lot of us are learned enough about various religions to have the capacity to question the beliefs man has created for himself.

So, from some of YOUR questions, I assume you're a politician, a cartoon (well, at least your avatar is) a homosexual and a philosopher, right? I mean, you posted in all of those categories...\n\nAnyway, atheists don't believe in god, and atheism is not a religion. But we do believe in religions (i.e.: in the fact that they exist, and are here for a particular purpose which some of us don't like). So, on top of being manipulated by churches, we ALSO have to endure it quietly? I DO NOT THINK SO.\n\nBTW, he IS imaginary.

I am an atheist and any true atheist would not preach like that.  Those people are probably just looking for attention or they do not know what to believe so they chose to attack someone elses beliefs.  I generally stay out of the religion v. atheism  debate... although if anyone wants to talk about it I am happy to give them my reasons for my beliefs... but I will refrain from attacking them or their religion.  That is what a true atheist would do anyway.

Theoretically, if they are saying the phrases you describe then they are not actually atheists. how can someone you don't believe in damn anything? Seriously I don't get especially annoyed by this one thing that atheists do but there are other things such as being illogical and pigheaded which usually bother me more!!

I'm an atheist myself, but in defense of religious people, there are some wonderful, well-meaning, loving religious people out there. Then there are some jerks. It's the same, in my experience, with any group of people. There are always going to be some loudmouths who want to convince you to be like them. But don't let them make you think that they're all like that. They aren't.

Who states that they do not push their less than Faith?\nEvery time a Christian question is posted the first to answer is usually a Atheist when the question is directed at other Christians\n\nTo me some are just as bad as Fanatical Christan's,Muslims and all other Religions who are Fanatical
