They can coexist, as you see around you. There isn't a World War going on over christianity or aethism. So perhaps they can't coexist in one sense, but at least we aren't doing crusades or other religious wars.
There is a fight raging between Christianity and Atheism however. Christianity is beginning to decline. 65% of Europeans are already Atheists.

Yes, I am very comfortable with that idea. Every human being was given a chance to turn to God, so if they didn't do so, they are choosing to go to hell. I don't have proof that everyone was given a chance, so you can choose to believe me or not. Eternal damnation is the worst thing that it comes to, but if an aethist like walrus doesn't believe in god, that's his fault
Doesn't God seem like a selfish, spoiled little child for demanding complete and blind loyalty? Especially considering all the evidence he put out to contradict his own existence?

It does bother me that people will choose to go to hell, when it would be so easy just to be come christian. But there is no such thing as a good person, everyone has sinned and fallen short of the glory of god. So God doesn't send good people to hell, they don't exist.
How do you not see that as just another example of Christian manipulation? Hell is just a tool to put fear into the people and make them run to Christianity's supposed salvation. God put so much evidence lying around against his own existence that I see no reason to buy into the fear factor of Christianity.
