"One must wonder, if one is not a Christian, why it is so important to atheists to destroy a faith that promotes 'love of neighbor' as a major tenet."
A good response to this line of thinking:
I am not a Christian, so I suppose I am qualified to answer your questions.
It is not important to me to destroy your faith. It is only important to me that I should be free to not follow your faith if I so choose. I note that in addition to "love of neighbor", your religion also promotes the idea that unbelievers deserve to be TORTURED FOREVER after they die. Among many other issues, that is why I treat your religion with a distinct lack of enthusiasm.
If one must wonder that, then one does not pay much attention. Certainly, because so many atheists live in America, the religion they come most in contact with on a daily basis is Christianity. However, you'll find no shortage of atheists arguing against Islam: http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/theism/islam/index.shtml Jehovah's Witnesses: http://members.aol.com/beyondjw/bj.htm (run by an atheist) Christian Scientists: http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~shallit/Talks/cs.html and all the rest. So, you are mistaken.
I, an atheist, do not insist that you believe as I do. I do not believe in God, and think you are probably mistaken for doing so, but you have the right to be wrong.
