I honestly just don't understand users like Icon in this topic. Yes, Atheism has no unified set of beliefs that every atheist follows or anything, but it's undeniable that many atheists, especially on this board, are very hostile towards people that are open about religious beliefs. Many atheists will outright ridicule anybody for believing some kind of religious doctrine and will outright say that such people are stupid or insane.
This is honestly just as bad as any religious person being so judgemental of other religions and atheists.
I say all this being an atheist myself. It's awesome if you believe there is no god. It doesn't give you the right to say that anybody that believes in a god or higher power is a ****ing idiot. Which sadly is the case with many, many atheists.
Amen...
As long as one's beliefs do not infringe on others, who cares? The issue comes about when religious doctrine creeps into law and the government making such....then people get a bit uppity. >_>;;
But calling someone an idiot for something they were likely indoctrinated in? Kinda pot calling kettle black...
