They disagree on lots of things.

The Orthodox Jews are close-minded pieces of dirt.
They treat the Palestinians inhumanely.
Wrong. You aren't "Lutheran" if you're born to a Lutheran family, that's their decision, not yours. You don't automatically inherit mommy and daddy's religion.
In fact, it seems to me that a lot of you don't understand the religion. Buildism, you said that if God were real he'd be helping us. But if that were true, we'd have no need for faith, and God's just showing us how horrible our own species (humans) are, which emphasizes our need for faith.
You want to know what I think? I think atheists should accept the fact that Christians believe in a God, and for Christians to accept that atheists want to proclaim success and progression without giving credit to a god that they don't believe in.
In a more mature society, we could even conversate about each-others beliefs instead of constantly avoiding each-other and throwing hate around.
As a Christian, I know that you don't go out and say "GAYS WILL BURN IN HELL!" because that's absurd and hateful, completely contradicts the Christian message, makes other Christians look stupid, and I personally would never go out of my way to express hate for a group of people! And you know, I have some lesbian friends (well at least they claim to be), they aren't really that different and they certainly don't wear their sexuality on their sleeve like the media portrays them. Nor do all Christians act like the media portrays them. I think stereotypes really are to blame for most of our judgment.
So that's what I think...
