Just like the title says.

I know plenty of people who say some nasty things about Christians, much of it is down right hateful and bigoted. But yet no one seems to get up in arms over it like they do for Muslims and Gays (which ironically liberals both support, even though the two groups will NEVER get along in real life). Why is it okay to hate Christians but yet not okay to hate those groups? What is with the double standard? I know plenty of people who would certainly qualify as Christianphobes.

BTW I am not advocating that it should be okay to hate Muslims or gays, it's not. Just pointing out the hypocrisy and the double standard.

Atheistic liberals are the most hateful, closed minded, and bigoted people on the planet, and they have been brainwashed by left wing media into thinking that they are agents of inclusion.

Why do think?

I say it is because of a lack of respect for the moral and religious beliefs of persons of faith.

The converse is true as well. I have run into far too many Christians who think it is their right to get into my face about my own beliefs and who try to impose theirs on me.

But nothing like the anti Christian bigotry of atheists.

I can't recall the last time an atheist told me I would spend eternity in infinite torment unless I converted to atheism.

Can any of you?

Just like Objectivism (whose founder was, of course, an atheist).

The same as liberal atheists - they are misguided and flat out wrong.

By the way - it is conservative - not consevative.

There is no word because there are few who hate Christians as a group along the lines of "kill all the jews", "kill all the muslims", "kill all the gays"- "keep muslims out of America...", or supporting discrimination based on race, religion or orientation. Atheist's objections are to the violation of the separation of church and state and using tax payer money, events, and facilities to give Christianity special status. Some of my best friends are Christian and I don't hold it against them. I'm not a Jesophobe.
