Shouldn't Atheists learn to accept religion?

[robvalue]

I want to add that I don't advocate trying to "stop religion". I think it's oppressive and ultimately futile.

I believe in education, discussion and leading by positive example. I think religion is completely stupid, and I'll happily state why. But I won't presume to suggest any sort of action unless people are being actively harmed. Things require a change in attitude for progress, and that is not achieved by forcing your will onto people.

And yes, I'd never go up to a random theist and call their beliefs stupid. That is just plain rude.
