As a nonbeliever, you engaged in free thought and then became a Christian. With your liberal background you will probably continue to engage in free thought. After all, I know of no atheists who believe that Christians are unable to do so. This does not validate your decision, merely that you have made a choice that suits you and your circumstances, and which most atheists will respect.
No - why?
All Christians or atheists
The question is flawed for two reasons:It assumes all atheists think about Christians crying while praying. They don't.It assumes there is an authority that speaks for all atheists. There isn't.
Yes there are many fiscally conservative atheists. And many christains are liberals. I am an example of the latter.
Christians believe in an all-powerful divine being. Therefore, by definition a Christian cannot be an atheist.
No. While there are atheists in the US, most Americans identify as Christians.

Non-Catholics, non-Christians and Atheists.
By definition, atheists don't believe in God; therefore they can't "believe in what Christians think."that being said, atheists do have moral guide lines, not unsimilar from christians or any other follower of any religion. the claim that atheists are immoral is totally unjustified.considering that atheism is merely not believing in a god, that is arguably the only definite belief that is opposed, an atheist can can believe in everything else that a christian believes aside from their position on faith.
Atheists do not harass Christians unless your definition of "harass" is that they disagree with Christians and any other theists. Sometimes atheists get tired that Christians impose their religion on everyone - swearing on a Bible to tell the truth, praying before public meetings, praying for sick relatives, baptizing babies without the parents consent, being nice to religious leaders just because they are religious leaders - and speak up about this imposition of a superstition on their lives. This is hardly harassing.
There are Christians, Jewish people, atheists, and Muslims currently in Russia.
Not all do, obviously. Some christians who take their moral guidance (nearly) entirely from their belief in god and the bible doubt whether it is possible to even be moral without that guidance. They sometimes think of atheists as capable of almost any action/behavior because of the atheists' lack of divine guidance.
