I'm anti-religion in the sense of being against what a lot of religious beliefs stand for, but I am not anti-religion in the sense of wanting to wipe it all off the face of the planet by force or indoctrination--that's not the irreligious way.
Bravo.
I might WISH it would all vanish from the planet, and I might despise everything religion is and stands for,
but I would not want to be LIKE many religious people,
insofar as wanting to destroy or oppress those who do not agree with me,
or force those who disagree with me into living as if they agree with me.
I am hostile to religion; unapologetically so;
...but I wait until a theist tries to use their religion as justification for limiting or removing the rights of others,
or otherwise tries to ram their religion down my throat,
before I even begin to argue with them.
