atheists
I never talk about my beliefs with anyone unless I absolutely know for sure they agree with it. But it seems that once an atheist meets my eye, he'll say,“do you believe in God?" And when I'm like yeah, why? He will attack me saying how I'm destroying his rights and safety. Today I decided to see where these atheists come from, figuring that there has to be some reason that when an atheist wa in my class, she spent the entire year saying about how there isn't a God and it's ridiculous. So, I found some laws ARE stealing atheists rights. But if they don't like that, then they should go out and protest, rather then sit around insulting people. And while I could see how these laws upset them, it's not my fault. I'm not on government, and I'm too young to vote. They're also angry about the pledge saying,“one nation, under God" and the money saying,“in God we trust" about those, get over it dramatic brats!

Since you are focusing on someone in a 'class' with you, you must be college age or younger. Whether from middle school on, young people are searching for where they belong in the world, what they believe, rather than what they've been told. They may begin to form their own beliefs but how they act or react in situations that may not be confrontational or bias to begin with is something that comes with the age group. While many may be mature in their reasoning, for most young people, its a scientific fact that the front lobe of the brain responsible for making good judgements and decisions and how they act, is a part that is not fully done growing until the mid 20's and thus is not mature yet. Don't let any topic, whether religion and beliefs or anything else a young person does, upset you. Give people time and see where they are at after 25-30 age frame. Right now, don't take their reactions to heart. I know that many things upset us easily and bug us when we are young but we are focusing too much on stuff that we have no influence to change. The time is better spent focusing on yourself and finding ways to learn to be a better person. Not saying you are not, just that no matter how old we get, even retirement age, there are always ways we can learn and grow and change for the better. You can't go wrong there is thats where you put your focus.
Good luck.

I don't see a question here but I think I see where you going with your statement.
In this country we all have certain inalienable rights; it says so in the preamble of our constitution. Those rights are as much yours as someone who believes there is a god as they are to an atheist who does not believe in god.
It is not possible to please all of the people all of the time. Government, our government is meant to serve the majority of the people. This is why on our money it says "In God We Trust." In the Pledge to the Flag it sometimes includes, "One Nation under God," it depends where in the country you are reciting the pledge as some schools have removed that line.
Some people only believe in what they can see, feel or touch. Since belief in god is faith based atheist do not belief there is a god since they cannot see or touch a god. Under our Constitution and the Bill of Rights this is their right.
I can't tell you why atheists are this way. All I can tell you is in this country they have an inalienable right to be this way. What is wrong with the atheist community is they protesting that all religious symbols be removed from public buildings because they do not want to see them. They have forgotten that in this country the majority rule, not the minority, the out spoken atheists are a minority within their own group.
I do object when the Supreme Court rules in their favor on the grounds of separation of church and state. Yes that is part of our constitution though to me it is secondary to where I started all this. With the phrase "Inalienable Rights." Our Inalienable rights are also somewhat faith based as they exceed what is in the "Bill of Rights."
I hope what I have written helps you understand what you wrote. Schools do not teach much about the constitution and the Bill of Rights as they once did. In short the atheists and agnostics among us have just as many rights as you do. How they use them is or can be questions not there right to question.

This isn't a question. This is an advice site.
Please ask questions, not post your pet peeves.
Frankly, you are being a discriminatory ass. Just because you don't like this girl in your class, doesn't mean all atheists are assholes. You aren't a child. You should have enough of a brain to understand that just because some Christians are assholes who hate gays, or some Muslims are assholes who suppress women, doesn't reflect the beliefs of all Christians or all Muslims. Same goes for atheists.
It's really fucked up that you decided to keep on bashing all atheists, while at the same time realizing that they actually do face discrimination, even discrimination written right into law. It's simple-minded of you, even if you disagree, that you can't see why people, even people who are not atheists, would take issue when their government that is supposed to be separate from any Church, using religious language and religious confirmations of faith in official oaths or currency. You don't need to agree, but you do need to have enough sense and respect to recognize why others might see that as a serious issues of separation of Church and State.
Take your own advice, and get over it you dramatic brat.
Other people are going to care about religious issues, human rights issues, and political issues that you don't think are important. That doesn't make them assholes, or brats. What makes someone a brat is when they are nasty and spiteful anyways, even when they should know better.
Have more respect for others and don't discriminate on the basis of religious belief, or lack there of. Some people are assholes, some of the time. You are not immune to to asshole behaviour, so watch yourself and be respectful of others.
