Interesting topic. I'm an atheist, by the way.
Do most of you hate christianity/religion in general, or do you simply hate the poorer or more pushy practitioners, such as Westboro or other "hardcore" religious people?
I actually have a deep respect for Christians, especially those who take their religion seriously. It's nice to have conversations with people who actually care about life's most important questions.
Yes, I am aware that science is not something that is really debatable -
Hm? Science is highly debatable. Evaluating the limits of scientific truth value is one of the more active areas of philosophy today. And there are non-theological alternatives, such as phenomenology.
I personally find the idea that we are the highest form of existence rather shortsighted and laughable.
Atheists don't believe this, for the most part. Most will tell you that we're simply purposeless biological accidents, just like every other living thing. "Higher" and "lower" doesn't exist when one reduces the world to anonymous matter extended in space.
So what is so wrong with someone living with their own beliefs?
Potentially a great deal, obviously!
