Why Do Atheists Criticize People's Beliefs?

Or fascinating creatures with a wealth of imagination and agency. Depends how you look at it. Neither way is objectively better than the other. If you take care of a garden, you're bound to nurture a few weeds. Likewise, if you're constantly throwing poop at knaves, you're bound to hit a few knights. The world needs both outlooks, but neither one is perfect. I tend to want to err on the side of vulnerability to danger, whereas others would err on the side of unjust persecution. The only thing that's guaranteed is that people will err.
