I have a question.
Why do atheists and theists not get along so well together when in all actuality, we're all searching for the same thing - the truth?
I might be overlooking some of the more evangelical types of athiests/thiests. However, aren't we all just trying to learn more about the world around us and the life that we're living?
p.s. I am religious and open to questions as well. I just don't take questions concerning modern day church because I myself do not quite agree with their views.

What is the issue of God and homosexuality all about?

How hard was it for you to give up your belief in God? Did you ever have relapses?
Do you think there is any validity in using Religion as a means of keeping social harmony in a society?
and
Do you think it's easier for people to turn to atheism today, where God(s) and super-naturalism seem to be more irrelevant than ever before in history.

What do atheists believe lies beyond the grave ( nothing?) and as an atheist how do you account for near death experiences?
also
Why do most atheist look to science for answers when most scientists are religious? and do you personally believe in evolution (even with all the evidence for it being fabricated, such as mismatched bones)
i myself would consider myself a corss between an atheist and a pagan of sorts, so im just curious what you make of the above questions.
thanks.

"We shall unleash the Nihilists and Atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will be from that moment without compass (direction), anxious for an ideal, but with out knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time" (William Guy Carr, Pawns in the Game, p. xv-xvi)

Doesn't really work all that well for the ostrich.
