Oh I'm not debating you. You are just stating your opinion and you are entitled to that. You don't have any rationale behind what you say, so there is no amount of arguing to undo the conditioning that has been done to you. It goes back to suggesting travel
You focused on the OT: focus on the main subject and not in the OT and we can come to a point. (finding the Truth).
I even apologised for that!
I am atheist, but I take no offense to what you say. I appreciate the apology though.
Again: that was an OT. Focus on the subject:
-) do you feel a sinner like the Bible said you are?
-) do you hate the book cause it think you don't deserve a life for not having faith in G-d?
I'm not trying to get you angry, I would have avoided you in the case, I'm trying to find what the commandements on atheism (idolatry) arouse on your moral compass. As atheism is condemned clearly in the 1st and 2nd Commandements and the punishment is teached in the Golden Calf episode (death).

Again: I'm not telling you the religious view to take the piss on you, I'm telling you the Religious view on atheism as this thread is called "Why atheist hate Religion?" and telling what religion thinks about atheist is a good starting point.
I did many bad things in life that why I understand the sinner point of view.
Hope you understand.
Thank You.
Everyone has a different moral compass, so grouping all kinds of different people into one bucket because they don't subscribe to a religion isn't how it works. There will be atheists with poor morals and others with sound morals, as there will be in any religion.
Now morals are different than sin. Something that you would consider a sin may be morally sound. I'd say if you live in a way in that you're honest with yourself and others, and live in a way that doesn't bring harm to others whether it be physically, emotionally or mentally in order to satisfy self interest, then it's you're living overall morally sound. That obviously requires empathy/awareness of how others feel. So being gay is morally sound. Altering consciousness with any type of intoxication privately is morally sound. Believing or not believing in anything as long as it doesn't harm others is morally sound. But they are sinful to subscribers of some religions. Now rape or murder is not morally sound, and it is also a sin. But a rapist that confesses his sin goes to heaven right? And an atheist that lives in harmony with others goes to hell right?
According to the bible, I likely am a sinner. But I don't subscribe to it. It is as meaningful to me as the quran is to you. To answer your second question I don't hate religion or any text associated with it. It is interesting, but not something that I can take seriously. It's has the same significance as Greek mythology to me. I wasn't heavily conditioned into religion as a kid, and grew up in probably the most multicultural city in the world, where religion is not dominant in society. But if I grew up in a place where everyone was Christian and my parents forced me to go to church and catholic school and all my friends were Christian and I listened to Christian rock, I'd likely be a devout Christian telling atheists how stupid they are for not believing and being lost souls that will go to hell.
