Evangelicals v. Atheists

I'm willing to believe that I can learn something about life in the workplace by observing the way I am treated by evangelical Christians and atheists. My major point is this: they are polar opposites in belief but not in action.

WARNING: this is a generalization, and I'm doing it on purpose. I have run into this -- not every time -- but far too many times.

CharacteristicEvangelicalsAtheists
In treatment of others not like themselvesHint others may have lesser soulsHint others may have lesser minds
In dialogue with othersWon't listen; too busy prayingWon't listen; too busy scoffing
Regarding the mainstreamBelieve they know best for othersBelieve they should rule others
Regarding each otherBelieve atheists are responsible for the moral degradation of societyBelieve evangelicals are responsible for 2000 years of atrocities
Self-righteous?Yeah, but sometimes will act humbleYeah, and don't give a shit what you think

If you are an evangelical or an atheist and you are offended by this, you better look in the mirror. Your customers are seeing what I see.

this was entertaining. I believe you held back. I'm quite sure you already came up with a few more and did not post them.
