The Difference Between an Atheist and Most Christians

For those of you who don't know what an atheist is, it's someone who doesn't believe that there is a godlike entity and tend to focus more on scientific evidence and have a deep desire for the truth. Christians are people who believe that Jesus is their Lord and Savior and that God created everything.

Most Christians seem to accept the Bible as the written word of God and require very little evidence to support these claims. They don't seem to require any satisfactory scientific proof and often live their life's more on faith than anything else.

Atheists on the other hand are constantly searching for evidence to support any claims made by Christians or scientists. If a scientist or Christian claims to have evidence to support any of their theories, these people are often willing to listen, but you had better have your ducks in a row and be able to answer all of their questions or their going to lose interest fast and you're going to be re-examining your own beliefs after they're done with you.

Now what's the major difference between atheists and most Christians? Most atheists have asked questions about the Bible and weren't provided with satisfactory answers. A large majority of Christians seem to ask questions and accept the answers that their respective church leaders give them. This doesn't work in the atheist community.
I am neither an atheist nor a Christian, but tend to side regularly with the atheist. They're asking both simple and hard to answer questions that most Christians aren't willing to ask and furthermore I truly believe that most Christians don't want to know the answers to these questions.
I truly believe that most atheists are only seeking honest answers, while most Christians bury their heads in the sand. They just don't want to hear about the problems with their religion.
