If you are religious, are you offended by those who call themselves atheists?

Asked by xenializ (327points) March 26th, 2009

I grew up in a traditionally (for the midwestern US, anyway) Christian (moderate) home and also had experience in more fundamentalist churches in high school and college. Years later, I find myself fascinated by arguments put out by atheists such as Richard Dawkins. I know some fundamentalist Christians would be very put off by the mere mention of someone thinking about this topic or questioning their religious upbringing. But what I’m interested in knowing is what do more moderate religious people think about atheism in general and how knowing someone was an atheist would affect their views of and/or interactions with an atheist.
