I thought I would try and present a profile of the hatetheist vs. the atheist so Christians can have an idea of when to enter into discussions and when to walk away with unbelievers. The below is based on my experience alone.

1.Whereas the atheist is respectful during a conversation or interaction, the hatetheist – either immediately or very soon – descends into ad hominem attacks and disrespectful name calling. The names used many times completely mischaracterize a Christian’s true position (e.g. “flat-earther”). Sometimes, the hatetheist will go so far as to say that anyone who believes in God is clinically crazy or insane.

2.In addition to attacking a Christian’s intelligence or character, the hatetheist routinely tosses out derogatory names or references to God (e.g. “invisible sky fairy”) and Jesus (a “Jewish zombie” or “Bejebus”). The atheist, however, typically does not refer to God or Jesus in such ways.

3.Hatetheists tend to be inordinately arrogant and border on narcissism when it comes to their perception of their own intelligence vs. those who hold to a theistic worldview. An example are hatetheists who label themselves as “The Brights”, with the obvious message being anyone who is not an atheist must be dimwitted.

4.The atheist genuinely considers arguments and presented evidence where the hatetheist does not. The hatetheist either ignores expert testimony, uses numerous red herrings, or charges the Christian with “quote smithing” when various quotes from experts are used to support the theistic position, and never considers the expert testimony. Ironically, many of the same hatetheists who do this maintain web sites with rotating quotes from famous atheists and sport links to other atheist sites that contain quotable information. But the bottom line is there is a “willing unbelief” in the hatetheist that will not entertain a position that is contrary to their own.

5.The atheist adheres to science, but understands and recognizes its limits, whereas the hatetheist is a devotee to scientism. If the faith of scientism is new to you, see what the limits of science are in a recent blog post of mine.

6.The atheist tends to be universal in their critique of any god, but the hatetheist focuses mostly, if not solely, on Christianity. The hatetheist shows no fear in mocking Jesus in graphic ways, but is remarkably restrained where others such as Muhammad of Islam are concerned.

7.The atheist’s actions are ones that are secure in that they will not lash out in irrational ways to thoughts of theism. Christianity is not threatening in that way, and they find no need to interject themselves into a Christian’s worship or their special days to interrupt them. The hatetheist, on the other hand, exhibits very insecure activity such as launching billboard promotional ads during seasons where their worldview is most threatened such as Christmas and Easter.

Copy and paste arguments always fail

@ the bold part;

-Easter and Christmas are no christian holidays.
-Many businesses and organisations place ads and billboards during the holiday period. Complaining about atheists is just silly.
-Ironically, it is the christians that feel threatened on christmas by atheist ads. No atheist is forcing you not to enjoy christmascelebration

Millions of atheist are not science "adherents". That is a stereotype. Scientism is not limited to atheists. Any person, from any religious background can engage in scientism

The profile of a Skeptic christian and a Christophile


1) A skeptic christian realises that his/her religion is not the only religion in the world and keeps his/her religion personal. A christophile believes that his/her religion is the one true religion and fails to realise that all religions can make that claim. The christophile talks down to people of other religions.

2) A skeptic christian realises that atheists could be right and have suffered harsh persecutions from christianity. A christophile hates atheists and claims that atheists hate christians and Yaweh while hypocritically damning atheists to hell.

3) A Skeptic christian is ready to associate with people of all religions. A christophile will not associate with pagans and wrongly calls them "satanists". Other insults are "god haters", "heathen", "hatethiests" and fools. Psalm 14;1

4) A skeptic christian doesnt make generalizations of other religions because he/she knows that there are good and bad people in every religion including christianity. A christophile belives that all people who dont believe in God are damned and evil. The christophile makes generalisations about atheists but complains when christians are stereotypes. The christophile also calls all atheists fools; loves the bible quote which says;

Psalm 14:1
King James Version (KJV)
14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good

5) The Skeptic christian reads other religious holy books and gets more aware about other religions. The christophile doesnt read the Koran and claims it is nonsense while telling atheists that they dont understand the bible so they are wrong to say that the bible is flawed. The christophile is usually ignorant about other religions

6) The skeptic christian ready to defend and defends his religion with arguments that are on topic. The christophile's best defense is that atheists always insult christianity but never islam. How many islam apostates do you see insulting christianity? They attack Islam, the religion they know better. Eg Hirsi Ali. Rushdie

7) The skeptic christian realises the importance of science and tries to keep his religion while accepting many scientific facts. The christophile is an avowed creationist that says that there is no evidence for evolution and that evolution is pseudo-science while proclaiming the virgin birth and resurrection of Christ which are both unscientific and have no concrete evidence to prove them.


The skeptic christian is willing to understand that not everyone sees homosexuality as a sin and is ready to allow homosexuals to live their lives- they dont judge the sinner. The christophile is ready to call gay people "sinners and perverts" or an "insult to the sanctity of marriage" while quoting the old testament. The hypocrisy of the christophile is that the christophile forgets that christians have the highest divorce rates (in America) and that the old testament has polygamy and incest.

This Psalm 14 matter is really paining me o!!! It is not so much about avowed atheists but rather about hypocrites that say in their HEARTS that there is no god. you can say in your heart that there is no God yet blast out praises to God with your mouth for all to hear. Yet what is in your heart will manifest in your behaviour. If you practice corruption and various crimes then in spite of your open declaration of God, obviously in your heart you don't believe he exists. That is what makes you a FOOL. The corrupt man, whether he professes religion or not, is a FOOL.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.

5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.

The entire psalm just reminds me of our leaders, religious and secular, in Nigeria. If our leaders are Fools, then that must make us even bigger fools.


But all that is tangential to this topic. In this profile of Hatetheist can we please, OP, try to draw up an understanding of why atheists are behaving the way they do and why there has been a increase in the vocal expression of atheism and, worse still, anti-christianity in the last 10 years.
