Just kinda testing the water here really, what is everyone's view when it comes to active Atheism?
Should religious people be left to their own devices and ignored? Do you think religion is detrimental to society, should we be actively attempting to spread our lack of belief, or does that make us just as pushy as religious preachers? Are religious teachings dangerous?
My personal views on the subject are that religion is dangerous, the teachings are dangerous and the world would be better off without religion. The bad most certainly outweighs the good, and for this reason I'm becoming more and more inclined to doing all I can to encourage people to think for themselves rather than having it done for them.
I ask this because I'm wondering whether it's worth having a board dedicated to it, a discussion of things (no matter how big or small) we can all do to help fight organised religion and spread atheism. (and no, I don't mean in the angry PETA vandal sense)
