Please read the entire post before commenting. I don't want this to turn into a senseless argument because you failed to read what I had to say and assumed that I said something else entirely.
I find it disgusting when people need to assert their beliefs onto others, both religious people and atheists included.
If you don't believe in something, then that's fine, there's no reason to go out and call other people's beliefs stupid or fake.
Every religion has its bad apples, but they don't speak for the entire group. So why do people assume that all religious people are invasive with their beliefs or are just less intelligent?
Religious people still know and believe in science, they just choose to have faith in something else as well.
I see threads about religion pop up on this forum almost every week and it is just sickening as to how people don't respect others views on the subject.
From observation, I found that many people become atheist because religious views were pushed onto them forcefully and it dismayed them from believing in it. So why do atheists complain about it, then proceed to do the same thing? It's ironic really.
No individual believes in something without being skeptical about it, but listening and asking the right questions will lead to a better understanding as to why they believe in it in the first place, without having to quarrel and bicker like a couple of tweens hitting puberty.
People have different reasons to believe in something; some might find peace or a purpose in their life, which makes them happy. To me, I view religion as bringing hope and hope is the most important aspect in human nature. Without hope, we simply crumble.
So when atheists specifically, bash religion and claim it is all just a hoax, I find it offensive and naive that someone finds pleasure in attempting to destroy another person's hope and peace in life.
What does it matter what others believe in? As long as they are happy and aren't affecting your lives or the lives of others negatively, then there is no reason to do that because we all live and exist in this world striving for happiness anyways; we just have different ways of achieving it.
