Why is it that atheists preach more than anyone?
Spirituality is personal, so if you need to push your belief or nonbelief onto others than you are probably seeking confirmation for your own thoughts.

Oh fuck off. Atheists react to your type's bad-acid-trip religious mumbo-jumbo with facts and observations.
That isn't "preaching".


I call bullshit on your sir. As an atheist, I have to admit that the one thing that will keep me calling myself an agnostic in public, is the general attitude most atheist fervently display. I really disdain how most atheists will call Christians out describing their beliefs as "bat-shit crazy" or the like only to turn around and say "I hate when Christians try to force their beliefs on me".

My favorite part about most atheists by far has to be the fact that the vast majority of us do not have even the faintest TRUE understanding of how these "LAWS/FACTS" of science work. Even if we do have a good understanding on a few of them, it takes a rare individual to grasp the understanding of the majority. Therefor, almost all of us are still dealing with FAITH in regards to our reasoning for atheism.
Religion in any form is an act of faith.

Questioning ANYONE'S faith is dangerous and usually leads to anger and anger leads to the darkside. (sorry could not resist.) Lets just suppose for a moment that all of a sudden GOD descended from the sky. While most Christians would be happy enough in their affirmation, their would be a few that felt the need to make sure you knew just how wrong you have been. Your natural instinct would be anger towards this person. Not because your they were right, but because they felt the need to point out that you were wrong. That does not make you a bad person, it just makes you human. SOOOO now turn the table. EVERYDAY we are discovering some new and interesting scientific observation, that you and I see as an affirmation in the lack of divinity. Some will make sure to point these facts out to those that practice religion, trying to reassert just how wrong they are to believe in there god/gods.
So I beg to differ on your opinion that it is not preaching.

Just keep your thoughts on creation and existence to yourself, unless it is asked or it encroaches on your well being. If you choose not to, then you are truly no better then the nutbar zealots we love to point our fingers at.
