Scientific knowledge versus spiritual knowledge

[Thumpalumpacus]

Ugh...I find religion terrifying.   The fixation on non-believers scares me.  I have seen so much anger here from Christians toward atheism...the mentality is just bizarre.  

Interesting, have you also seen the reverse on here and what are your thoughts on that (atheists anger toward Christians/Theists)?

I have. Perhaps I'm biased, but I assign it to the fact -- and it's a fact -- that atheists are one of the few remaining groups against whom prejudice is permissible in our society. Of course, being on the receiving end of prejudice tends to get one's hackles up, and overcoming that seemingly natural defense is difficult (speaking for myself -- others might find it easy). That's not seeking to excuse it, but explain it.
