Not all atheists are assholes, or hate on other religions and hate on churches and anything of that manner, most actually just dont believe in god, heaven, the devil, and so on. Most Atheists tend to avoid telling people their "religion" due to the fact that when they do tell people, it doesnt end well. So to sum it up, I believe Atheists are misinterpreted and misunderstood, and need to be recognized that they deserve respect just as much as any other religion.

Well, like always, it's the assholes that makes the rest of us apathetic
In a more serious note though, I've talked to atheists before and I don't really try to convert them or anything. In fact I love learning about their views, because to me understanding another person and where they're coming from is a good thing; it helps me understand that I'm not the fucking center of the universe.

The more atheists the better, I hope you become one.

Well I am an atheist and I think it is an accurate position on one question (Is there higher beings that created the universe or specific aspects of it?). It is a position that has been largely villainized by the religious majority, and needs to be reinforced by scientists and skeptics.
How I became an Atheist? Well once upon a time there was a very intelligent boy that loved science and craved knowledge with a very religious mother whom he loved dearly. This led to the boy to be not very skeptical, embracing creationism, cryptozoology, and ufology. And that was how he was for quite a while. Then one day in high school, he grew up, realized evolution answered questions about the natural world where creationism just raised more. He had long thought his mother to be wrong on many things (it didn't help that he was the one she came to for answers to things not spiritual). Slowly he questioned wether there really were higher beings, the existence of the soul, and monsters in the woods. After he had seen what he missed he embraced the new ideas quietly. Then one day he broke his mother's heart in the museum of natural history, a wound only time would heal.
And that is how I became an atheist. Mother has gotten over it for the most part, but holds crazier beliefs now that she discovered youtube. Whenever I want to rage at ignorant creationists, I have to remember to be gentle, as I was once one of them.
