I stand on a soap box about this because of the power of words to impact our perception. Atheism is a pejorative term in the eyes of believers because it is the negative of them (without something that others have), and with that inherent negativity comes implied permission to discriminate blatantly and openly.

Nice bit of hyperbole. Have you seen an evangelical Christian post on this board and state they are a Young Earth Creationist? Have you seen the degree of vitriol thrown at them? Seriously? The same statement could be made about them.

Bottom line, it is wrong to hate atheists. Those that do so are not emulating Christ.
