I feel like this is a huge generalization. I am atheist, but that doesn't mean that I despise people. This is strictly a political assumption.
Edit: Although, to be fair I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic schools from 1st grade to Senior in Highschool. So morals were already instilled I suppose. Either way, I enjoy the discussion.
Only if you lack the ability to see the bigger picture due to your own personal feelings/bias towards the subject.
Like I said, the narrow minded "i was raised in a single mother home and I turned out fine" completely ignoring it being big problem in society as a whole.
Now the question to ask is: are you offended because you're ignorant on atheism being a big cause of problems or you do know it is but dont care so you have to protect " your team"
You can be an atheist and still be aware that atheism is indeed a problem in society. You can still turn out right in a broken home if youre lucky and still be aware that its a problem in society.
If you feel personally attacked when atheism is discussed , well that says more about you than anything.
I can turn around and say the same thing about religion. Most of the world's conflicts are over opposing views of religion, and claiming that your views are correct is narrow minded. I'm not offended by you saying that towards me, we're having a conversation after all.

"i was raised in a single mother home and I turned out fine"
Same shit different topic. Just because you supposedly turned out alright doesnt rule out the majority are atheists that afr hateful little shits.
To be honest, it seems quite hateful to judge people based on that.
