Christians: In your honest, non-antagonistic opinion, why do you think that atheists are atheist?

I encourage Christians to answer honestly and Atheists to respond with correction or affirmation without either party taking things personally or becoming combative.

Because anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus as God is an atheist as per Christianity.
@Amish

Is that true? Do Christians think Muslims are atheist?
Amish · 22-25, M
@Pikachu I think so. I am born a Christian but have not been a true devotee. Does Muslims believe that Jesus is the son of God and God and son are same ?
@Amish

They don't believe that Jesus is god, no.

@Pikachu Now question is who constitutes an atheist?
@Amish

Someone who doesn't hold a belief that a god exists.

@Pikachu Then no religious people(Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs, Shinto...) are atheists as per the above definition. However I doubt whether Christians and Muslims consider each other a theist. The above definition holds true for other religions. There is less discrimination among Gods.

Jesus didn't think he was God. Nor did the early Christians for about 400 years. The Jews didn't think the messiah was going to be God.
