Maybe the fact that someone can be perfectly well-adjusted and pleasant and NOT believe in any sort of god makes them feel threatened. I don't know. It's something I find myself wondering about fairly frequently, though.
Maybe they're afraid that the atheist will - intentionally or not - somehow cause them to doubt God's existence.
I keep thinking I should make a post about why I'm an atheist. I hesitate because I don't want to come across as preachy and I don't want to get into a debate. I'm not interested in converting anyone and I certainly do not want anyone attempting to convert me. I just want to present my side in a way that says, "Look! I'm an atheist! I'm not threatening! I just want to be left ALONE."
