I have been on this forum about a year. I usually log in about once a week for about an hour and have a read through of the topics that catch my eye. I also watch a few youtube videos a week, both of Christian and atheist posters.
I have to say though that my stance has really very much hardened over the time. I used to be quite Ok with religious people deluding themselves and thought it did no great harm. After all, I used to be one of them. But more and more now I see that religion is very insidious especially when deliberately applied to children.
I work with a lot of muslims and sometimes get into discussions with them. The most recent one concerned the spacecraft doing the flyby of Pluto and sending back all the data. One of them was saying that none of this is even true. He refused to believe it or look at any images or evidence. I found that attitude incredible and pathetic.

It's not immoral to eat meat, abort a fetus or love someone of the same sex...I think that about covers it
