I sometimes get asked whether atheists should be more friendly to those with religious beliefs. I normally provide Hemant from Friendly Atheist as a shining example of a nice atheist.

He recently discussed Michael Shermer’s belief that atheists should be positive. Well I think atheists can be too friendly and I believe that the example below shows the dangers of ‘friendly atheism’.

;)

I have to say Hemant, I think you’re taking this positive atheism lark too far!

[…] Atheist Perspective is right: Jesus and I are hanging out *way* too much. […]

Of course atheists can be friendly!!! All that an atheist is, is just like any normal person with their own views and free-will like God created them.

I think all people should respect each-other. I personally feel that I should share the Biblical hope that I have of the Gospel because I beleive sincerley what the Bible says, and I don’t want others to have a horrible fate.

I do prey for atheists, but in the end, it is their own choice. Anyway, atheists can be friendly, who said they can’t be!

Nothing fails like prayer.
