Why are atheists feared so, and in America of all nations? I think americans should be more enlightened. Sure there are some evil atheists out there, but there are evil theists as well. Belief or none belief in God is a small part of a person outlook on life. The choses one makes is what determines if he or she is good. Here are some things to look for in good people.

1) tales the truth as they see. Anther to say this is "He/she calls em like they are."
2) Helpful to others.
3) trustworthy
4) friendly

I'm going to stop my list there. This is my opinion. I cannot change the facts one way are the other.
