Ex-theists are often like ex-smokers, sanctimonious and insufferable.

If religious people did not affect others with their poison, then tolerating them would be fine.  But those fuckers are all about fucking over other people, and they should be stopped.

That is some pretty loose talk for you.  Every religious person murders people and discriminates every day?


Obviously not.  When someone says that the Catholic Church is an international pedophile ring, they are not thereby committed to the idea that every Catholic is a pedophile.  Of course, by contributing money to the church, they are voluntarily helping to pay for hiding the pedophile priests, so they do not entirely escape blame merely by not directly molesting children themselves.

Religions are all poisonous.  They all corrupt thinking.  They all depend on people not thinking clearly, and so they oppose clear thinking.

And that should be opposed.  Getting people to be unreasonable and believe nonsense, they are opening the door for the person to believe any other nonsense that they might stumble upon.  After all, they have been trained to avoid critical thinking, and so they are ready to believe other bullshit as well.  That preparation for believing bullshit is very dangerous and should be opposed.

What really have you justified?


People do not murder or discriminate because of not being religious.  That does not mean that they cannot do bad things for other reasons.
