I don't mind what people believe, just as long as they keep it to themselves. I think religion is the greatest insult to human intelligence and should have absolutely no authority.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

I'm against religion as an institution, when it has any modicum of power over the people.

I am an anti-theist atheist, I have no problem with any God if there one (in all likelihoods not) but its there idiotic fan club I hate. They cause more wars and hate then any other group. People can have there beliefs, fine, but pushing them on somebody else, that is were I draw the line.

Funny. I believe the same regarding hardcore Atheism.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Couldn't choose an option.
I oppose belief ingeneral as it operates outside the basic faculties we depend upon to deduce reality.

Funny. I believe the same regarding hardcore Atheism. No really, Religion needs to get out of all government's, schools and public life. It is corrupt and evil and I am amassed that even today it still here (for now) and religion getting desperate, as it knows it has no legs to stand on and lose being slowly crushed under the weight of reason and all because of the internet. Religion is losing as Quoting Thunderf00t: the internet is a place were religions come to die.

Atheists who let their hatred for religion get in the way of logic and reason.
1002. Religion is not evil. People are evil. Until Americans learn to put the blame where it is due, America will continue to slip.
