They have morals, respect isn't one of them.

Some justification would be wonderful.

Just the way they/you :P talk down to people. For example, I have one or two friends who are atheist, and they always try to make the point that they are smarter and more logical than people who believe in "God".

I know I'm probably generalizing but I'm sorry if it seems that way to me. if they're not online flaming, provoking or spewing utter nonsense about other religions, they're trying to make the case that they are smarter than everyone one else because they believe in what they believe in. Which honestly, makes me sick.

 Everyone has morals to a degree. When you start isolating certain characteristics, you start to see the good and bad of all religions/beliefs.

"My most recent faith struggle is not one of intellect. I don't really do that anymore. Sooner or later you just figure out there are some guys who don't believe in God and they can prove He doesn't exist, and some other guys who do believe in God and they can prove He does exist, and the argument stopped being about God a long time ago and now it's about who is smarter, and honestly I don't care." -Donald Miller

Oh. I'm sorry you feel that way towards atheists. I know personally that in the science threads I can be a bit pushy, I'll try and tone it down in the future as a personal effort.
