I am a very religious person who is more and more shocked by the way that people twist and corrupt things from religion itself to Atheism. Every one should have the right to believe or not without being attacked or abused for it. It seems to me tat Anti-Theists and religious fundamentalists who attack others for how they practice or don't are really two sides of the same despicable coin. All thoughts and systems that are not theirs must be crushed because they threaten to... what exactly add a dimension of realism to the world to allow free expression and variety to exist? There is evil and bad in every group no matter how they try to deny it or hide it. They can couch it however they want, but hatred is what causes humankind to self destruct and kill. Understanding among all has to be key if humanity as a whole is to survive and grow. Each person has things that they can learn and appreciate about others. I do not foist my religion as a sign of my superiority or use it as a weapon to hurt others. Understanding and a willingness to learn will always be key.
