Shouldn't Atheists learn to accept religion?

[Dust_bunny]

If we are driven to ensure that ourselves and /or our species survive and thrive then i feel we have a duty to teach intelligent thinking which includes anti religious sentiment in order to best ensure that our species survive

 I do however pick and choose where and when I get passionate about this stuff and I do actually care whether or not it might hurt my religious friends by telling them things they aren't ready to hear. I have one friend who will never be ready to hear it but I love her to death because she's a very kind person and bursting her bubble is not worth the consequences of loosing her friendship.
