It's equally amazing the amount of anger Christians exhibit when an atheist attempts even the smallest display of their beliefs, or lack thereof.

Don't believe me? Try putting a Darwin fish emblem on your car, and see how long it lasts before it gets pried off, your car gets keyed, and/or your tires get slashed.

Is the Darwin fish a symbol of atheist belief, or a mockery of Christian belief?
Reply
I would have to say that it's the latter. The similarity to the Christian symbol is unmistakable and deliberate. Though I take no offense to it, I can see why it would be viewed as offensive by many (and INTENDED as offensive by many also).
If the atheists had their own symbol which was not an offensive mockery, it might be less susceptible to vandalism.-

It's a mockery of Christian belief perpetrated in direct response to Christians putting a fish on their car.
It can't be a symbol of atheist belief because there are plenty of people who are Christians (and Catholics) who believe in Darwin's theory. Darwins theory of evolution in no way discredits Christian beliefs, unless you are a Bible literalist, and if you're a Bible literalist you have a lot more sticky problems to resolve other than the creationist crapola.
"If the atheists had their own symbol which was not an offensive mockery, it might be less susceptible to vandalism."
Sorry. You lost me there. Vandalism indicates a lack of basic morality and the lack of an ethical framework. If someone mocks you, it doesn't justify (ESPECIALLY as a 'Christian') your lack of morals or ethics.
"It's equally amazing the amount of anger Christians exhibit when an atheist attempts even the smallest display of their beliefs, or lack thereof."
Often Atheists mock Christians, speak as though they're idiots or uneducated and assume that they cannot believe in science simultaneously with religion. That's often what they're angry about -- not the display of atheists beliefs.

Well in this case, the secular newspaper Orlando Sentinel felt the need to bash Tebow and his religion. In other words, Tebow doesn't have the right to display his religious beliefs/ affiliations in public. That's the direction we're headed.

I applaud this kind of evangelism. It is simple, unoffensive, yet will lead those who want to learn more to a place to find it. It asks nothing in return.

There are other forms of evangelism I do not like: discriminatory forms. For instance, Amor Ministries, a charitable group I have built houses with for those less fortunate in Mexico. I found out later that they will only build for people who go to a Christian Church and promise to keep attending. I don't think charity should be subjective like that. There was nothing in Jesus' ministry that said it was okay to choose to help only Christians. (Ironically, we were joined by at least one atheist on that Mission trip.) The work done by Amor Ministries is good work, and I'm conflicted as to whether I would work with them again, since helping struggling Christians is better than helping noone, but the message it sends is that Christianity is a "club" with "membership privileges," which to me seems completely wrong.-

You shouldn't work with them again.

Acting on Christ's example is simply that. One should seek to emulate Christ's example without expectations. Living a holy life, as far as I'm concerned, is the best 'evangelism' Christians can offer. Making charity and kindness dependent upon conversion is an atrocity and frankly against the teachings of the Bible and Christ.
There are plenty of organizations that DO NOT require attending service or require a faith affiliation. I say work with them. You have a voice in choosing where you volunteer, you should use it.

I think more people would take "Christian athletes" seriously if they gave thanks to the "God" for tripping them up behind the line of scrimmage, forcing them to throw an interception, or helping them miss a field goal that cost the team the Super Bowl.

When did Jesus suit up?
