Who comes off looking worse regarding prayer bashing: Militant Atheists or Christian liberals?

I'm over 3 years late asking this, but ever since the Parkland shooting, I have struggled to decide which group looks worse when it comes to trashing prayer after shootings (and when people trash prayer period and use the phrase "thoughts and prayers" as a cheap shot against people).

Does the tiebreaker go to militant atheists who use tragic events (and other openings that come their way) as an excuse to trash Christianity? Or does it go to those in the Christian Left who, for whatever reason, aren't strong in the Faith (or at least come off that way), serve two masters, and let the world drive their faith.

    There's no Christian left or Christian liberal.

    Both are oxymorons.

    I never knew there was a difference . Discussing god in general is why i am an Ignostic with a I . Prayer is their belief and not mine . I can't get past identifying a god and then was lectured in comments back when THAT  God is capitalized . Maybe to believers but god is what i mean . i'll type harry potter if i want and he doesn't get triggered . Religion was created for the masses and the modifications 

    over periods include modernizing . more than Likely A god would be so foreign and opposite in image . And that would actual be more godly but you imagine god ,God and a god anyway you want .

    You know who doesn’t get impostor syndrome? Cats. Not only does every cat know they’re a cat, I think every cat believes firmly, with conviction, that they are the best possible cat, the prime example of a cat, the most cat a cat could be. Not that cats are capable of this degree of higher thought, but if they WERE, a cat would never ask, “Is this action something a REAL cat would do?” They would simply know, “I am a real cat and I am doing this action, therefore it IS something a real cat would do.”

    Prayer is utterly meaningless:
