atheist teacher
Let's say I believe in many things, God, third eye (mines open, I can see spirits and see futures sometimes), empathic (I've been told I'm one),and witchcraft, etc.. I've never told anyone I can do these things, unless they told me They could do it too. But my teacher knows I believe in God and once she found out she started treating me extremely rudely. Why do atheists hate so much? And why do they care of others belief? And when anyone mentions religions, she attacks. She starts saying,“let's not be rude." “shhh." “Quiet. No talking of it." How do I deal with this stupid, closeminded bitch?

Try to just understand her views since we are all entitled to our own opinions and beliefs.Maybe she doesn't believe in anything anymore because of something.

well first rule is one doesn't speak of politics, religion or things of that nature...its just a good thing to remember...anything provocative...okay so she said what she said...why are you hangin with a bitch? who puts you down...next time she pipes up and puts you down with something...and not about what we said one shouldn't talk about, tell her to shut her pie hole, and then walk out the room...only surround yourself with supportive people..don't let ms bitch drain your essence...got it? do it! love peace out

Some people are immature and refuse to be friends with you because they believe that you are not right.
I dealt with the same exact problem a couple of months back.
And I have had some Atheist friends that would always try to argue that believing in God is illogical, even though they know that when people make up their mind about religion it is (most of the time) set in stone and they shouldn't try to keep convincing people that they are wrong.
It was ok, though. The only way to deal with stupid people is to not let them invade your thoughts all the time by just ignoring them. If they are a figure of authority (an unprofessional figure of authority) , unfortunately- you should not get on their bad side. So discuss religion outside of class. (It isn't really meant for places like public schools or any places like that unless you're speaking about religion in history.)
Anyway, good luck and remember that people that have biased opinions of others are stupid, and stupid people reserve no place in your mind.

If you feel your teacher is behaving inappropriately or rudely, that's something you should discuss with adults in your life. Your parents, or a school counsellor, or a principal or vice principal, could all be good resources.
However, you also have to remember two very important things.
First is that religion can be a very contentious issue. Your teachers approach to religious topics might have less to do with atheism and more to do with her attempts to control the class, keep them on topic and respectful of others. You may disagree with how she is going about that, but you should still take a deep breath and acknowledge that her heart may be in the right place even if you don't like how she is behaving. It's also possible that she is doing precisely what her supervisors at the school have asked her to do.
Secondly, you should take a look at your own behaviour, and make sure you aren't engaging in exactly the same behaviour you feel she is. If you are regularly interjecting your personal religious understanding and interpretation into class discussions, then you are trying to 'make it about your faith' just the way you are feeling she is 'making it about her atheism' . Show respect for the class and your fellow students by discussing religion when it's directly relevant, and offering your opinions while respecting others will not agree. Trying to steer conversations towards your own beliefs, or acting as though you have a correct answer to questions of faith, won't convince anyone. When it comes to religion, always listen more than you speak, and remember that stereotypes like "Atheist are angry" are not fair or respectful. There are lots of perfectly reasonable reasons your teacher may be discouraging you from behaving in this way in class. Your assumption that she is stupid or close-minded, rather than she is controlling the class in the way she has been told to, or in the way she if feels is right, tells me more about your strong feelings on these issues, then it tells me about her behaviour.
Even if your teacher is in the wrong, is not acceptable to ignore her instructions and continue conversations she has asked you to stop. If you are unhappy with her instructions, take that up with another adult and address it that way. Don't be belligerent or disruptive in class.

I wish I could explain to you why Atheist are the way they are in a logical way but I can't I don't think anyone can. The believe only in what they can see and very little of that.
Religion relies on faith. Faith is something you feel but really never see. Since faith cannot be seen to an Atheist it is not real. I can't tell you whether religious faith is real as it is a very individual thing. what I can tell you is we all have some type of faith which does make faith real.
I have faith in myself and my abilities. I have faith in my wife that she is true to me. My son is a firefighter paramedic. I have faith in his ability to save lives. so to me faith is very real. I would say that even an atheist has some faiths some of the same ones I just went through. For then to say say their belief that there is no god be or religion because it is faith based and they believe only what the can say to me is hypocritical of themselves because they need to have some faith if only in themselves just to get by.
As for their anger over everything they believe, which is also based in a manner of speaking, faith based. I would think their anger is over always being told their beliefs are wrong. No one likes to constantly told that their wrong or their view or values are wrong. Eventually you strike out at these people. This is my belief of why they have such anger.
How do you deal with this? You ignore them. I know as your teacher it is hard to ignore her. If she is teaching you cannot ignore her and you can correct her as a teacher if she tries to interject her beliefs rather than teach the subject manner. You can even go to the principal and complain if she does this. At other times when she is not teaching you it is perfectly acceptable to ignore her.
