From where I stand CoooCaw it is only an element within the conservative Christian movement that rejects evolution, so I am not surprised you make this claim. Bryan asked why evolution is referred to by scientists as a theory if it is not an established fact. The fact is scientists see it as an established fact, that is why they call it a theory.

no one realises this.. we can talk about anything ( talking about unbelievers, including myself when i WAS one) but soon as someone talks about God it's like the Flesh gets angry and just reacts in a bad way and can't help it, i believe that is just the flesh acting it because it wanna continue to live in the flesh instead of the spirit
For all sorts of reasons Dan. Personally I enjoy the debate. I've been to atheist sites but there is not much challenge when everyone agrees with you.
I know ten or more atheists, friends and family, but I am the only one that hangs out at Christian forums. None of the others seem at all interested. I know it probably doesn't seem like it, but the majority of atheists likely never involve themselves in debating Christians on-line.

it offers little or no guidance to scholars seeking to define a crusade. Those who want a strict definition mostly agree on the importance of taking the cross, ...

I will pray for you, i know you don't know any better neither did i, but by faith the truth was reveal to me that's the only way to ever know the truth through faith, this life is not life it is temporary just a passing through to see who is worth enough to accept the truth, you don't even realise that you were lead to this website, your an atheist but yet your on a christian website 
deep down inside your soul know what is the right choice for you that is why your hear but the flesh condemns it, but look at the former atheist why do you think miraculously change their mind to believe in something completely different that what they grew up with or known their entire life? it's a supernatural power, that is receive and revealed through faith atleast just have an open mind about it.. and question yourself about things, am i just existing to die? but that wouldn't make any sense why would i just be here to live a life of 50-100 years and just die? gotta be more to it, ask yourself questions like that i kept doing that and found the anwser but it was a different situation for me.

Teachings on Marriage
…14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 15Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. 16For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
So you believe in the negative way, that Her Husband won't be in heaven with Her?

And there are plenty of atheists that would agree with you, because they thought it was condescending. I'm not one of them --- despite being an atheist, I like the fact that the Pope was trying to make peace with atheists who are trying to live moral lives. You, josh123, may think of kindness towards atheists as "an abomination", but the New Testament has a much different take on how Christians ought to treat their enemies.
For the record, I am an agnostic atheist. Agnosticism has to do with whether or not you feel that the "God question" can be answered. Being an agnostic and being an atheist are not mutually exclusive.

You ought not to stereotype atheists (or anyone, for that matter). Many atheists believe that "Christians are Christians because they can't open their mind", but being close-minded or thoughtless is not a result of religion, and it certainly isn't true of any group necessarily. Furthermore, it is foolish to argue that any group is "critical". Even within this thread, it's easy to find Christians being critical. The reason that you see more atheists in this forum "being critical" is because they disagree with more posts than you do. That belief you hold is a result of confirmation bias.
Atheism is a lack of belief in God. "Evolutionism" is a belief that evolution is true. While many atheists believe that evolution is true (because they're generally not biased against it), it is not necessarily true that atheists believe that evolution is true.
Nor is it true that all atheists are in denial (as you suggest with your small child analogy). I was a Christian for many years, and I became an atheist when I stopped denying the evidence that my prayers had no effect on the outcome of my life, and the lack of difference between my beliefs and those of all the religions that I didn't believe were true. While it's certainly true that some atheists are in denial, you ought to be careful about stereotyping a group. If you wouldn't like it when it's done to Christians, then you ought not to be doing it yourself.
