Why are atheist compelled to answer religious or spritual questions?

[Stephen P]

The same reason jocks pick on nerds

[Citizen of the Cosmos]

er...Pat Robertson threatened to frame us for the 9/11 attacks if we didn't?

[Frank L]

It's funny.

When adults hear 10 year olds talking about Santa Claus as if he were real, they feel obliged to tell them he doesn't exist. Same principle applies.

[Agnostic Front]

You should welcome it. No one person has all the answers. Listen to what people have to say.

We're not "compelled". We're just having fun.

[Monica P]

Why are christians compelled to try and stop us

[Sweet Voltaire]

I think that your question is unfairly categorizing all athiests into a group of people who want to constantly put down religion. I'm an athiest and am not this way at all. In fact, religion and theology has always been *very* interesting to me. I just choose not to follow it. I answer questions respectfully, intelligently and from a different point of view. Never will you catch me disrespecting members of any other religion (though I do have a few choice words about the Westboro Baptist Church).

[Angel of Caffeine JPA]

Atheists can be spiritual, genius. *Drink*Peace.
