I just... you know, I'm kind of as atheist as they come? Couldn't begin to imagine what it's like to be religious etc. etc. etc. But I don't see why some atheists get so militant about it, and about insisting that religious people are just stupid -- dude, no. How arrogant is that? God is not something we've disproved. And so, er, you know... none of us can know for sure that we're right. It doesn't make us dumb.

And so long as we're not hurting one another, why the heck does it matter? I think religion can be great when it motivates people to try to better themselves and become kinder/stronger/etc.

Mm, see, you're the sort of person I can really respect. I have different beliefs than you, but at least you don't automatically discount me as a person just because I do.

Same here. I'm a (loose) Christian and I have Athiest, Agnostic and other-belief friends and we can all get along and respect each other for qualities having nothing to do with religion. I see writing someone off just because they have one or two beliefs you don't agree with as being like writing someone off because they say... watch reality shows, or wear a lot of pink -- you may not like their taste, but it doesn't mean they're worthless.

That said, I do loose respect for really militant ANTI-theists - not because they don't get why people believe in God, but because they've basically written whole groups of people off and want them off the planet. In other words, I can respect many people, but I cannot respect someone who doesn't respect my existance, or assumes off the bat that I'm a drooling troglodyte by default because of *one* aspect of my life.

EXACTLY! I'd hug you right now. I've had to deal with fundamental evangelists a lot, and honestly, dealing with a militant aethist feels the exact same way.

Religion (or the lack thereof) is personal. Disrespect is something that follows actions, not personal beliefs

I'll agree with you on this.

I mean, with religion I can see 'you're all wrong hell flail ack' as being idiotic, but at least I know why they're doing it. I have no idea what the deal with militant atheists is.
