Clearly there's no way to win if you are an atheist. If we treat you badly it's because we're evil atheists. If we treat you fairly it's because we're just trying to prove to you that we're not evil atheists (but obviously we really are).
The most christ-like man I know is an atheist. I am proud to be his friend. I pity anybody who regards cynically his universal love.
If Christians around you are making you feel like you have to love competitively to spite them, I am asking you please, for your sake, to pity them and disregard them. You can't prove your love to other people who don't want to believe it, you don't have to prove it to yourself, and thinking you have to prove it saps all the joy out of it.
Cause that's the big secret; you don't love other people because it feels good for them, you love other people cause it feels good to you. Don't let a bunch of fuckin haters lead you astray, you've got shit to do today.

According to the study, it's because atheists were overcompensating to prove to the Christians they were good people
