Since it seems like almost all atheists are hostile towards religion, particularly Christianity, which is an inherently peaceful faith
While not a universal belief among Christians, many atheists find the idea of eternal punishment for finite crimes abhorrent. This sentiment is even shared within the Christian population. You can at least understand on some level how some core tenets (for some Christians) is questionable for others.
that improves morals and provides eternal salvation for all believers, wouldn’t it make sense to think that atheism is inherently nihilistic? It’s not like you ever see atheists praising religion and talking about how good it is. If that is what they believed, they probably wouldn’t be atheists in the first place.
That is not true, many atheists including myself have praised aspects of religion including Christianity. Unfortunately this does not provide adequate justification for belief in it.
Atheists come in all shapes and sizes. There are many who are "holier than thou" types and just as annoying as their religious counterparts lol, and those like me who are more mostly indifferent about things. In the end we're all people who share similar biological hardwiring with similar spreads of variance.
