I voted there are some problems with atheism because you might e.g. be judged and meet prejudice on basis of being an atheist and not based on the person you are. But it's not a problem exclusive to atheism, every single group of people usually meet prejudice in some form.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Fair point.
But don't you think that simply removing religion from society (if that were possible) would leave some problems? Or do you really believe that religion serves absolutely no useful purpose? (as well as the obviously un-useful ones, that is)

Please tell me where in any definition of atheism it says that all atheists (or indeed any) want to abolish religion from society. Get a fucking clue.

You don't support secularism then?
Or manners?

So you think all atheists believe in secularism?
This is like saying all black people steal cars.
Just the same as being black doesn't mean you are going to steal a car, being an atheist does not mean you want secularism.
Get a fucking clue.
Nice change to your post as well, verrrry clever. I don't have manners for those who don't take the time to learn about something they seem to have a lot to say on, yet obviously don't have a clue about.
