I guess the short answer is no. There are no anti - Islam, Buddhists, Hindu’s, etc. Technically there should be, but Atheists only care about God Jesus and the Bible.

Atheists don't care much about all those other religions either.

I mean sure, they are loudest about Christianity here in America because Christianity is what is most represented here in America. But they don't much like the other religions either. In a region where a different religion holds sway, they are loudest about hating that religion instead. (Although in Muslim countries they'd sure better keep quiet about anti-muslim sentiment...)

Now technically you could argue it is impossible for them to exist without God because God made the universe. But that's not within the scope of what you were stating.

There is no such thing as an atheist, never has been and never will be. We are created in the image of God and worship is who we are. We ALL worship something, we have no choice about that.

Many people claim to be atheists, but are really saying they reject the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They replace the true God with worship of money, fame, publicity, attention, sex or other innumerable lesser "gods". They really just worship themselves.

As things are now, soon it will be the same for Christians everywhere if politically minded folks have their way. Jesus Yeshua come soon, amen

A great percentage of Buddhists are atheists.
I.have to agree that I have yet to see the militant anti pagan group of secularists. In international university cities you find anti Bible rejecting , God hating atheists.

This has been the prevalent understanding I have observed since my childhood. Growing up in California my public schooling included many Buddhists, and whether they were in name only or actively participators, they were all tolerant of others, no matter the leanings of them.

Let us not be judgmental of these people for only God knows who has the truth written on their hearts with their consciousness accusing and excusing them ass they act.

I guess my point is - Are Atheists against any other religion other than God Jesus and the Bible?

This was answered by Lynx. Atheism is against religion and any forms of spirituality. Basically anything that holds any form of supernatural belief.

The point is everyone - God Jesus and the Bible are the only true religion. None of us have ever heard any agnostic, atheist, or anti-religious person rage or criticize any other religion.

in your question, you left out the Holy Spirit. it is the H.S. who communicates with us. so that raises a question: "if we had just the H.S. & He called all people & all people answered & believed on Him, would we be 1/3 atheists"? there are 3 persons in the Triune Godhead & you can't pick & choose who you want to believe in. without God, Jesus & the Bible, we are all atheists.

What, because we don't say what you want to hear?

Have you ever lived in a country where Christianity is not the majority? You hear a lot of anti-Christian sentiment from atheists here because Christianity is predominant here. Move to a country where Christianity is not in the lead and you will hear a lot more against other religions.

Also, Drax is cool. At least you know where you stand with him.

If you want to feed your persecution complex, try the conspiracy forum, two doors down on the left. You can get enough of "everyone is against us" to keep your persecution feelings going for a long, long time.

Tell them that neighbor.
I have met neo-Buddhist who were tolerant too.
I have found some who were atheists who were actively anti- Christian too, fundamental and conservative ones, but not the liberals.
Those aren't everyone's experiences, but mine. I'm speaking about the college level, mainly teachers.
They all need to reject their Buddhism for the Savior Jesus Christ to be saved from hell.
I hope Christians will grow to the boldness to share that gospel.

Bible believing Christians are typically the targets of the radicals regardless of religious affiliation. Most atheists tend to identify with the liberal/ radicals than the conservative fundamentalists. I haven't had much exposure to the Muslims other than liberals. I'm guessing it's similar towards them, but that's just speculation.

So the answer is no.
You really, really, really want to believe the answer is no, so that is all you will see.

Why is it so important to you to believe atheists are against Christians and only Christians? You just enjoy believing people hate you?

So the answer is no.
There are a lot of other religions that suffer persecution and are despised of others.
India has a lot of racial and religious prejudice amongst the Muslims, the different denominations of Hindus, their cast system too.

The Chinese CCP hate the Buddhist sect if fallun gong and Bible believing Christians. They keep many in concentration camps until they harvest all of their organs to sell. Americans don't realize it, but the medical hospitals do the same. They take living Americans and sell their organs to others.
We were told by physician friends and family to never sign the organ donation agreement on back of our drivers license. That was a death sentence if ever in a serious auto accident.

No, before a person even tells you they are an atheist they have told you about God.

"I am" an atheist for example.

False claim. And tough to try to speak for everyone. Rarely goes well. I have witnessed atheists go after other religions.
Of course perception plays a part in your claim. If Christians only go to Christian places and see these groups attacking it's easy to believe that it's only happening to them. If you're not out among other religious belief systems how do you expect to know what's going on there?

Also I've noticed Christians are quick to interact with atheists and engage them in debate. Perhaps I'm wrong but it seems less common among other groups to be so eager to engage them. What's more incentivizing, people that will give you attention or people that don't? Of course the ones that engage more get more attention.

Which religion, and what religious guru (equivalent to Jesus) were they raging against? Which religious book? Example?
