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?
This is one of the thing that has bothered me about a great many Atheists - why would you go around consistently trying to correct or mock religious people? What is wrong with having faith?


My problem with religion is that it holds humanity back. We'd know much more about the universe and would have achieved much greater things if people didn't assume that they already had all the answers due to religion, or if powerful religious people didn't kill thousands of great minds because they felt threatened by them. Every day thousands of people waste their time praying and if religion never existed those people could actually be doing something constructive and useful for humanity.
