While I agree that this is bollocks, I do not agree with the sheer amount of stupidity a lot of the repliers have.
Religion is not the problem here. Yes, they're doing something stupid in the name of religion. But if there was no religions of the world then they'd be doing some stupid or horrible in the name of something else. They'd have other beliefs that they formed one way or another and there would be people who formed that same belief and they'd be trying to force it on people regardless of anything else.
And I hate to break it to you, but you atheists are exactly like theists, but you don't believe in any gods. Have you looked at yourselves lately? At what other atheists are doing? You may say that one atheist doesn't represent ou all but you still all have that hive mentality because you all fall into the same mindset of "I'm right you're wrong because of this and this"...Just like theists.
And you go around trying to force your beliefs, or lack thereof, on others, cram it down their throats and tell them you're just trying to help them live a better life because they won't be wasting their time on their religion. Which really isn't much different than someone coming to you and telling you that whatever TV show, Comic Book or whatever sucks and they should stop watching it and stop collecting memorabilia because they didn't like it and thought it was a waste of your life. You want religious stuff taken out of everyday life, they want more in it. You're exactly the same. You're not better than them even though you act like you are. Even that makes you exactly the same. They think the same about you, that they're better because they have faith, and you think you're better because you don't. (And don't tell me you AREN'T like that because I've yet to meet an atheist that wasn't, and I know a lot. And again, you'd probably say the same thing about Christians, and Christians would say they're not all the same as well.
Which brings me back to my point. People are idiots and regardless of their beliefs or lack there of. They're always going to force their ideals on others no matter WHAT fuels them to do so. Stop acting like you have the world's best views at heart because you're exactly the same as them. You don't want religious folks cramming their religion down your throat, well they don't want you shoving your lack of beliefs down theirs either. You're just as stupid and bigoted as them. Get the bloody hell over it.
