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

RE: Ex-theists are often like ex-smokers, sanctimonious and insufferable.
I'm not an ex-theist; I've never believed, but I will admit to having a tendency towards "anti-religious vehemence", mostly as a means of pushing back against the massive amounts of religion western society tries to shove down my throat.  The hypocritical and harmful things religious people do in the name of their god, like banning gay marriage and firing transgender people from their jobs makes me angry and resentful towards them.  If they could leave well enough alone and believe what they wanted without forcing it on others and using it as an excuse for blatant discrimination, I wouldn't care, but I feel under constant attack from religion, and subsequently feel like I have to push back and try to "covert" a few to my side, before our 16% dwindles to nothing and we suffocate under the weight of bigotry and ignorance.
