So then following that "logic" just presented, the most vocal atheists and anti theists are really repressed believers. They condemn God because they know God exists and can't deal with facing it.
If you want to set off most conservative Christians get on the topic of homosexuality or gay rights. The anger most of them have regarding this issue is unfathomable. Get on the topic and most conservative Christians will take on an anger and a zeal that you don't see when talking about any other issue except maybe abortion. Whenever LGBT-advocates have a political or cultural victory, Facebook fills up with right-wingers venting their anger and hatred towards these individuals. The same people come to the defense of people like Josh Duggar. Why is this? It seems to be getting a lot worse as many of the beliefs once confined to extremist groups like Westboro are now gaining traction among mainstream evangelicals.
Why is it that a man can cheat on his wife and molest his sister, and have Mike Huckabee call for forgiveness but as soon as somebody comes out as gay, you have Huckabee and his ilk calling on God to wipe America off the face of the planet for simply allowing them to exist?
You ask most people this question and they will say its because the Bible says homosexuality is an abomination. Want to know what also is an abomination? A lying tongue, (see Proverbs 12:22), yet religious right politicians have no qualms with spinning the truth when it suits their agenda. Most people who cry and scream about homosexuality probably aren't even aware of what else the Bible calls an abomination.
To be fair, the Muslim faith condemns homosexuals with death. Through their Sharia law courts gays are put death by beheading or stoning. Many have also been thrown off buildings.

so this is related to conservative christians how?
Also, because another does what you are accused of makes your sin more palatable?

Simplistic is as simplistic does.
Heard on TV, YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD BECAUSE YOU DO NOT LIKE THE COMPETITION...

That is not what i said. I am saying we are that which we judge and condemn, and some leading American church leaders that have been militantly vocal about that which they judge and condemn, in this case homosexuality/homosexuals have been exposed to be that which they condemn.
I like how this translation of the scripture puts it
Therefore, you have no defense, Oh man, who judges his neighbor, for that in which you judge your neighbor, of that you are guilty yourself, for you also who are judging are engaged in those things.
2And we* know that the judgment of God is in truth against those who are engaged in these things.
3But why are you thinking, Oh son of man, who are judging those who are occupied in these things, that you will escape from the judgment of God, when you also are engaged in them?
4Or do you presume upon the wealth of his sweetness and upon his patience and upon the place that he gave to you, and do not know that the sweetness of God brings conversion to you?
That judgement is not coming from some God up in the sky, it is coming from self setting itself up as God.
So then following that "logic" just presented, the most vocal atheists and anti theists are really repressed believers. They condemn God because they know God exists and can't deal with facing it.
The Folly and Wickedness of Men
14 1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good. 2 The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. 3 They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one
