Its less religious over here than in America yes...
I just think its a pity that a lot of the Atheists are "atheist...but" types anyway....that don't believe in God but respect those who do and say things like "I wish *I* could believe that! But I can't!"....the condescending attitude of defending religion and being against those who don't....when not believing in God or being religious themselves!
"Well I myself don't personally need to believe in God...but you guys go ahead with that nonsense! Geez, I wish I could believe in that stuff but I guess I'm just not like that or perhaps I'm too intelligent...."
The kind of thing they wouldn't say out right but you could image they're thinking it....they obviously think religion is bullshit but they give it 'respect' and act like its not.
Can be pretty condescending I think. Luckily not all Atheists are like that . Some of us are more honest to the religious of course, and don't on the one hand think its bullshit and on the other hand 'respect it' or at least 'show' it. If you know what I mean, get the gist of it anyway.
If you get my drift...
