For atheists/agnostics: who is better?

[Pontiuth Pilate]

The answer to that question should be quite obvious.

Indeed.

 

[Oruc]

Protestants, catholics are too fundamentalist

 

[jwijn]

I respect the moderate Catholics alot, particularly those in Central and South America who used their religion to fight oppression and exploitation (liberation theology). That, and Boondock Saints was friggin awesome.

Answered "Can't say". I think that European protestants are better than European catholics, but it seems that that's not the case in America.

 

[shortguy]

I come from the Bible Belt, so I tend to think of Catholics as a bit more thoughtful and reasonable than Protestants, but that's probably not fair.

 

[Pyrite]

Well, the only thing I respect about the protestants, is that they do not consider a man, able to be the divine representative of God on earth.

So i suppose them.

 

[Perfection]

I vaguely prefer Catholics, they're somewhat less disparaging to athiests (not that Christians in general are). It's probobly due to the fact that they are more urban (in my area) and thus aren't as subject to the power of group oloraization.

 

[elfangor801]

Well, on the whole, probably Catholics because it's mostly the same and it's not really that conservative. My church, on the other hand, (Catholic) is horribly, horribly conservative. I consider myself somewhat to the right, but going to CCD classes there made me feel like a hippie. But that's not the norm and most Catholics are normal.

The thing with Protestants is that you labelled them all as one big group. There are the crazy Southern Baptist "Let's go lynching!" protestants, and there are the crazy Unitarian "Let's go marry trees" protestants . I've seen both and they're nowhere near the same.

This poll isn't fair, just say how you feel about them, youi don't have to be entirely rational.

 

[Shadylookin]

catholics becase they are much easier to make fun of. That and protestants seem to believe that their particular sect out of thousands is the correct one with the real "word of god" despite the fact that it was probably founded only within the past 30 years. Of course in reality people from both groups are extremely varied and its unfair to just divide them into 2 groups.

Each have their own evils, as well as good guys.

i'm a Protestant and some other Protestants bug me as much as catholics do.

that being said I voted with obvious bias.

Well, you shouldn't voted at all, because you're a believer.

hardly democratic to exclude a group based on their beliefs

 

[Fetus4188]

I'm an agnostic, I view Catholics, Protestants, Muslim, Atheists, and whatever else in the same boat. They all think they know everything when they really know nothing.

 

[GenMarshall]

If I was still an agnostic, I would chose Catholicism hands down .

Agreed. Here, the Catholics tend to bug me more, but American Evangelicals are the most insufferable variant of Christians I've come across.

Unfortunately, their attitudes seem to be infecting parts of Sweden's "free religious" Protestant churches.

[Stapel]

I'm baffled by both their abilities to believe in cruel fairy tales.

However, the only thing I did not drop from my calvinist education, is the fact that catholics are no good .

 

[The Last Conformist]

That's a funny complaint, BTW; that religious fairy-tales are cruel. In other context, we usually dismiss saccharine stories as unrealistic.
