To respond to the original question.
I don't care if one prays or not, believes in gods or not, believes that the earth is 6000 to 10000 years old, thinks a giant milk churner on the bottom of the ocean created life, none of it matters to me. I find the concept interesting, but more from an anthropological standpoint than from a religious one.
Where I draw the line is when religious people try to force their beliefs down the throat of children and young adults by trying to teach their views as science in science classes. Not just the Christians, but all religions that try to do so. When I noticed that there are creationists and even young earth creationists in my country, that was when I decided to get more vocal on the topic.
Now some might argue that religion is bad for various other reasons and that might be true, but if the religious people want to celebrate that a zombie rose from the dead, it doesn't bother me at all. That is where I depart from the likes of Prof. Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens though I do agree with a lot they have to say.
