First off, no one, in my sincere opinion, is picking on anyone specifically, everyone gets called on their beliefs at some point. Second, your belief that Christianity is the "only true faith" is just that, your belief and opinion. I don't believe Christianity is the only true and right faith and that those who lead a good and moral life but aren't Christians will burn in Hell. I personally find this exclusivity arrogant and very judgemental, and probably the biggest reason that I no longer consider myself a Christian. In the end, it's how you lived your life and treated others, that matters not to what religious affiliation you subscribe. Of course these are only my humble opinions,which is all any of us have, just opinions and beliefs.
this bugs me. Atheists say there is no god which is like saying we are not human. Why do people look down on the only religion that is actually true??
because it is true. In my opinion it is illogical to be an atheist because of what it means, "without gods" For an atheist to make the claim that there is no God would have to say they know everything there is to know, seen everything there is to see been everywhere there is to be; behind the sun under Jupiter to make the bold claim that there no such thing as God, no existence at all in the universe. That's not logical and pretty absurd.
Be happy for God revealed Himself to you, be joyous and spread the gospel, many of His elect are among the atheists, keeping preaching the gospel and God will do the rest.

Because true christianity isn't what people think it is so the bible christians will get picked on just like the athiests and agnostics and other religions. God's truths are not all in the bible. God's truths can be yours but you would then have to interpret the bible the way it's meant to be and not just rely on what someone else says. When you find God within you, Truth will be revealed.

We (atheists) aren't saying you're not human, where the heck do you get that from? I've never heard or seen one of us say anything resembling that! You're welcome to believe in whatever flavor of the supernatural gets you all warm and cuddly, we don't care...until you start trying to insert your own personal dogma into laws governing us, or you come knocking on our doors trying to convert us, or you try to get public schools to teach your brand of imaginary friend to our kids. That's when we object. Moderator cut: inappropriate and abusive language

Reason: you just cannot use that insulting language on this forum
How was that judgemental? Seriously? I think it's the antithesis of judgemental as I am only stating that all any of us have are our personal beliefs and opinions. Nobody has all the answers, it's ludacris to believe any of us do. I just find the Christian idea(as expressed by the OP) that they are the ONLY ones who are practicing the "true religion" arrogant and presumptive. It may be the only true religion to a believer, and that's great, but don't assume everyone else following a different path is wrong and "destined for Hell". I just don't see how anything I wrote could be construed as judgemental when I specifically stated that all I have(and all anyone has) are opinions and beliefs based on faith. Btw, I'm not an Athiest.

There is no god, as you define it.
You are human.
If you want to know why atheists "pick" on you, read your own words, which I have conveniently quoted for you.
