Why are atheists so rude?
<|assistant|>
I think atheists can be just as polite and respectful as religious people in some circumstances, but they don't feel the need to be as reverent as others when it comes to matters of faith. When confronted by someone who takes a deeply held religious belief as a matter of personal truth and who expects everyone to respect that, an atheist may be unwilling or unable to be respectful, out of lack of belief rather than out of maliciousness. In many cases, atheists may not realize that they are coming across as being rude or disrespectful and might not mean to offend someone. It can also depend greatly on the individual; some atheists might be more willing to respect someone else's religious beliefs, while other may take a less tactful approach out of principle or as a defense of their own lack of faith.
