Atheism and Anti-Theism same thing?

Wow. WOW. You are so not responding to what I was talking about. I already agreed organized religion and what it's used for is bad pages ago. I don't agree with the Church. And I obviously don't think the actual child abuse is overdramaticized and I think it should be taken seriously. You just added another level. My main point was not in reference to anything like that. The average Christian kid does not go insane from worrying if they will go to Hell. Religion is such an average part of some people's lives that it isn't even on their mind until Sunday rolls around. That's what I'm talking about. Religion does not have these sort of effects on the average family, is what I'm saying! I'm saying when there's no physical abuse and there's no really intense indoctrination (ala Mormonism) I don't think religion is harmful. I'll say it again: spending an hour at church every week and saying grace before meals isn't a big deal. If you wanna add this whole "kids literally go insane" angle to it, fine, but now you're adding another level that just isn't present in an average case.
