I'm an athiest and I (read ahead before you hate me on this statement) cannot stand most christians, there's been too many throughout history who use their beliefs as a scapegoat for their actions. That being said, some of my best friends are christians, and buddhists, they're not hateful, they believe everyone who is good will either go to heaven or purgatory, and everyone is bad, well, you know.
Of course if I'm wrong, I'll find out, I believe in karma though, if I'm really such a bad person right now, I should see everyone else down there too, if the only reason I would not be in heaven if it exists is because I do not believe in god, then I would be in purgatory with fellow friendly Athiests, my friends tell me that god prefers a kind athiest to a hateful christian.
Karmaaaaaa, it's serious buisness, don't mess with that.
