Do people hate the actual belief in God, or just the religious organizations?

[goombah111]

I'd say that the religious have a fantasy delusion, one that unfortunately is accepted by society.

I don't hate the people necessarily, I dislike some of their actions. You could say that I hate the religious manipulations, things done in the  name of religion. 

For the most part I don't think they are stupid, just different. They have the ability to live with this particular cognitive dissonance that I just can't. I don't understand it but I have a wife that does it.

people are a product of their environment. had you had different circumstances, you might have believed in god to this day instead of deciding not to at whatever age you did.

santa claus is still a thing, i think its okay to believe in things. just, put your belief in something worthwhile and positive, like yourself.

I wouldn't care what the belief was if it wasn't pushed on me or others around me so much. I'd have to go with the actions of believers as the biggest target of my scorn. Sure, I still think people are gullible for believing it, but I won't make a big deal about it if they keep it to their damn selves.

yeah. there are alot of loudmouth religous people. and alot of loudmouth atheists. many hypocritical theists, and many hypocritical atheists.

but then you got that nice middle ground of rational kind theists and atheists who respect the privacy and choices of others.
