As far as '''[[atheism]] debates''', a large portion of the debates are [[Christianity vs. atheism debates]].  This is partly do to large number of adherents of [[Christianity]]. 

As far as '''[[atheism]] debates''', a large portion of the public debates are [[Christianity vs. atheism debates]] although there have been a few [[Atheism vs. Islam debates]]).

 

Although [[Islam]] is a major religion as well, in Islamic societies tolerance for atheists is rare. In the [[Western World]], there have been a few public debates between atheists and Muslims, but they are far rarer.<ref>The atheists [[Christopher Hitchens]] and [[Lawrence Krauss]] debated Muslim Tariq Ramadan.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuTucfWTSgw][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CGFMwtJTyE] </ref> There have been incidences of Muslim extremists attacking critics of Islam in the [[Western World]] so many atheists may be reluctant to engage in high profile atheism vs. Islam debates (see: [[Atheism vs. Islam]]).

Although [[atheism|atheists]] commonly claim there are reasonable arguments for [[atheism]], the quality of atheist debate has been quite poor from the proponents of atheism.  See: [[Rebuttals to atheist arguments]]
