The "Blasphemy Challenge" just reaffirms this opinion. Instead of denying the existence of the general idea of God, they specifically deny the existence of a Christian God.
People say that Christians do the same thing, but I've yet to find a video made by Christians for the sole purpose of mocking and inciting a response from a different religious group (If someone knows of one then, please, enlighten me). There's a difference between advocating your religious beliefs and mindlessly attacking another religious belief. |
I would guess that if you are looking at atheists who live in regions where other religions are predominate, you would see more atheists singling out other religions. Here in the West, Christianity is predominate and is the predominate religious movement that is trying to affect law and society to more closely resemble its views. I think your observation is as simple as that. If Muslims or Buddhists held a lot of sway in the American town square, so to speak, I've no doubt you'd hear plenty of healthy opposition from American atheists. (albeit, Buddhists aren't theists...I'm not sure where that leaves them, lol).
