The Christian evangelist [[Ray Comfort]] contends that atheists hate God because they know that He does exist.<ref>[http://www.wnd.com/2009/02/87777/ Evangelist: Atheists know they are wrong]</ref> Comfort declared in 2009: "Atheists don't hate fairies, leprauchans or unicorns because they don't exist. It is impossible to hate something that doesn't exist. And that makes the point."<ref>[http://www.wnd.com/2009/02/87777/ Evangelist: Atheists know they are wrong]</ref>

Christian [[theology]] emphasizes the importance of love and forgiveness. As adults, children who attended religious services regularly are 87 percent more likely to possess high levels of forgiveness and are also 47 percent more likely to have a high sense of mission and purpose.<ref>[https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/how-to-help-prevent-your-child-atheist/ How to Help Prevent Your Child from Becoming an Atheist] by Joe Carter</ref> On the other hand, the [[atheist worldview|atheistic worldview]] provides no basis for forgiveness (see: [[Atheism and forgiveness]]). Within the [[Western]] atheist population, there is very high levels of division/infighting (see: [[Atheist factions]]).
