Why do believers feel threatened by non believers?

This is not a discussion on religion vs atheism or a hate post. I don't have hate for them but they're actually taught that non religious people are just bad. They just treat us same or even worse than they do for murderers and rapists. I am struggling so bad because I am surrounded by Christians and it's hard to make them understand just because I lack faith doesn't mean I am a bad person.

Why do non believers feel threatened by Christians? Christians aren’t taught anything of the kind. Christians absolutely don’t treat you all like murderers and rapists. Notice I didn’t say believers. Just because you believe doesn’t make you a Christian.

@gregloa I don't deny I do feel threatened by believers. But not of what I chose. I feel threatened when they wish for my ill being or blame my failures on my lack of faith. Some insult me as soon as I open up about my agnostic views. I even heard believers comparing atheists to wrong doers.

True Christians don’t judge if they do then they aren’t Christians. Atheists shouldn’t judge Christians either but most do. @JBird

@JBird We we are all wrong doesrs aren't we? So that's abuserd to assign that only to atheists.

@SW-User we are wrong doers when we do something wrong knowingly. But some Christians automatically assign atheists or even agnostics as wrong doers.

@JBird I have never met such people,honestly.
Accept on here and I blocked both.
I met pushy Christians,but they really believed they need to save me from hell and must convert others or God will be angry with them.
It's misguided at best.
I do see a lot of unbelievers on here ridiculing anything religious and mocking people on questions and replies not directed towards them.
One lady use to bait people on here by asking questions she knew Christians would disagree with, stating she really wanted to know why they disagreed.
Then mocking them
I find that rather childish.
