I'm a 12 year old atheist girl. I'm not throwing shade to christians, because some of the ones I've met are good people, but why do people think christians are so perfect? In America, where I live every politician from Trump to Hillary has to profess their love for the bible to get a shot. Ted Cruz said he's a Christian first an American second. Imagine if a jewish person or a Muslim politician said that (as if Muslims have a chance) why is there god written on everything. Why must god be mentioned in the pledge? I've been called a "dumb shit" by someone for not believing when the evidence is "I have life" I responded I have life because my parents had sex. You see, Christians go around bashing everyone else's religion, then when we respond, we're close minded bigots and must drown in their Christian tears. A person I can't stand said it "makes sense" that I'm an atheist. This could either be regarding the fact I'm big on liberalism, or that I swear a lot. And here's another thing, how come with muslims lately, we are talking about banning them and making them wear special badges and closing down mosques for the action if isis (1% of muslims) why did we never talk about closing down churches after the crisis of priests molesting young boys, or banning Christians over the kkks, and making them wear badges because of the nazis, after all Hitler was catholic and stated his movement's christian (this stuff shouldn't happen to muslims or christians, don't get the wrong idea) and jewish people are the majority in religious hate crimes. I've met jewish people, muslims, atheists, and agnostic far more moral than some Christians. Also minorities like pagans, Jainism followers, hindus (mocked by people in bindis), etc are always getting attacked for being satanic? Why are Christians so loved and everyone else hated? (link)

I think alot of people fall into the Christian umbrella probably because its comfortable.
Usually when there is a majority the minorities get bashed or what I like to call it misunderstood.
I dont think someones religious beliefs excuses them from sin. Its quite possible you know more "bad" Christians because as I mentioned before they are the majority.
I believe that anyone is capable of sin.
I believe that all of our beliefs begin from our parents and then evolve with our life experiences and we choose what is best for us.
Unfortunately people do not take the time to understand each other and that is terrible.
Now you mentioned people being Satanic.
Regardless of your views on religion or on whether there is a God or not i think that one thing is clear..there are 2 sides.
Light and Darkness
People that work with light can be from any belief including Atheist.
There will always be a struggle with good and evil thats normal. The other ones you are referring to in regards to religious beliefs shouldnt be as dominant but thats the world we live in.
Dont get caught up in whats going on with Polititions and these Religious groups. Look with in your self.
I know you mentioned that you are here because your parents had sex and yes you are right. However if you study the process of having a baby and every step and how there is only a small window and there are so many factors that get in the way you will see that there is some type of magic there.
Anytime you feel or witness ANYTHING that cannot be explained that is God.
I am not trying to change your beliefs with one post but i encourage you to find your own path and ignore all the public bickering and see how you feel. It will take time but I guarantee that you will eventually believe in something.
Good luck to you and remember that you are good and regardless of the titles used to divide us, good works with light and bad works with dark. So the good and bad dispute will always be there.
