Atheists consider it noble to dislodge the faithful from their beliefs..They offer nothing more than dark revelation which is intended to dismount the faithful from their steed of fantsay..."Better to be miserable in truth than to enjoy the anesthetics of religious belief"..They have a right to know the truth..they say..Hear hear...However should not the IRS know the truth, and the mother in law in regards to quality of her meals, and the young child offering disjointed scribbles upon an imagined love note? "Here mommy, it says I love you so much" "No honey this doesn't say anything at all.."
There is nothing wreckless about trying to further the human race beyond its delusions it uses to keep itself happy. Once society realizes happiness and meaning do not have to stem from religion we can find true purpose in life. As long as religion persists, people will see atheism as a depressing world view and not the abillity to determine one's own purpose that it truly is.

The transition would no doubt be difficult and people would need time, but that is no reason not to undertake the task.

Is the atheist crowd prepared to take on this responsibility? Or are they content to keep shaking people out of slumber for the fun of it..
No one wants to rid the world of religion just for the fun of it. Atheists see the human race as an ever progressing species and religion as the largest obsticle for such progress. I agree that the core issues of why religion is needed are what truly need to be addressed and teaching people they don't need to use religion as a crutch is the first step.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
