Too proud in what way?
Do you consider Buddhists too proud?
I'm not sure what you mean...

But religious people will be gentle, though probably only because etiquette
I think atheists rude. No relationship with philosophy, this is a matter of personal accomplishment.
I did not expect atheists reply me
Tone.
They look down on religious people of the mystical experience, for example, to look down on Christians filled with the Holy Spirit
Buddhists, too wordy, too much nonsense, but not too proud
I consider that God has no personality.I consider that God is not personified.I consider that God has no emotions.

Indeed, some religious people are very bossy.However, Buddhists, Taoists are not like that.
Again, some do, some don't.
With me, it depends how they came to justify their beliefs. If they honestly looked at their own views and have a logical rationalization for them, I respect that fully.
If their arguments are based on logical flaws and they are unwilling to recognise them... I respect their right to hold their opinions, but I obviously think their viewpoint is incorrect. Still, I wouldn't look down on them for holding a view per se, it'd be more based on the intellectual dishonesty that person is displaying.
Well, the vast majority of Buddhists are Atheists... most Buddhist sects do not worship a God of any sort.
That's what I mean in being careful to label an entire segment of people as too much or too little of anything. You'll often find it's not nearly that simple.
Ok, so is it a kind of Deistic God you believe in then? I'm just trying to figure out how you would define him.
Atheists often say that logic, the logic of how to explain the existence of the universe?
Buddhism is polytheistic.
If God is an adjective, I am an atheist; if God is a noun, I am a theist.
Well, the honest answer is to say we don't know where the universe came from. Hopefully through study and research we will discover how it started.
However, the main point is that just because we don't know how it started is no justification to say God did it. We have absolutely no evidence that shows God did it, so to make that argument is unjustified.
It would count as a hypothesis... however since it has no evidence backing it, it wouldn't even really be a strong one.
Saying "We don't know how the universe started, so God did it" is a logical fallacy known as the Argument from Ignorance.
The only honest answer to that question is "We don't know, but we're trying to find out"
I consider that God is the Tao
I believe in God, but do not worship Godno, Buddhism is not Polytheistic... The vast majority of Buddhist sects are Atheistic.
Hinduism, or the religion of Ancient Greece are examples of a Polytheistic religions... They worship multiple Gods or Deities.
Christians believe they already know the answer, and their sense organs do feel
I believe the Lord, but also believe in Allah, but do not worship themAh, so you mean pantheistic, not polytheistic. (Correct me if I'm wrong... my knowledge of Taoism is not that good)
Pantheism is basically belief that Nature, the Universe and whatnot are synonymous with God.
Polytheism is the belief that there's multiple Personal Gods.
