In this case when believers are convinced that morality comes from their religion. It only makes sense that those who don't follow their belief must be morally vacant. Or that their only playing the game and aren't really rooted.
Even though the minute I say I believe in God somehow all of that changes.

Do you think it's possible that non-believers treat believers in the exact same way, Mikeyy? If not, there is a forum that you once frequented that I can refer you to as proof.
Do you personally feel that Christians do not trust you and ostracize you? I'm not seeing any evidence of it here, so if you feel this way then where is this happening and who is doing it?
You started the debate off asking why God would need to be praised, and now are asking why a poll reveals that atheists are despised and distrusted. As interesting as this is, I'm not seeing the connection to what you are getting at.
