I find that being surrounded by folks who hold irrational, absurd beliefs is unsettling. I thought that I had mentioned that in the OP. It bothers me that that such people are also found in positions of authority and trust. I see Theism as a refusal or the inability to acknowledge reality which IMO is detrimental.
I started the thread to find out if and how much it bothers other Atheists. Reading the posts in this thread tells me that most seem more tolerant of Theism than I am. It helps me to understand why religion persists. Evidently, it seems that many of you are okay living in a world where so many other don't even acknowledge reality...
