Does being an atheist makes you a lesser person?
Some look at atheists in a not so good way, some even avoid talking to them and worst, some judge them for their beliefs.

well people can avoid talking to you and judge you on many other respects. if it isn't this there are always reasons to pick on somebody.

I'd say goodness from the heart is always better than goodness by obligation. Goodness is goodness in any form. Discriminate on the persons character and deeds, not his/her religiousness or lack thereof.

as long as the person is not of the preachy type... trying to convert you into his atheist beliefs.

but of course, this goes the other way around, too. "Does being religious make you a lesser person? Some look at religious people in a not so good way, some even avoid talking to them and worst, some judge them for their beliefs."

People choose to believe what they want, but I'd rather have a lengthy conversation with an atheist than all the brain-washed morons who bang on about how their religion is better than everyone else's.
