It seems to me whenever there are debates online or on t.v, there seems to be a habit amongst fundemental religious preachers, to state everything they as fact. I.e this is the way it is because "god says it is" and there is no room for movement.

However at the same time, there are religious people who do believe there is room for interpretation and use religion in a good way. It is their faith that helps them with their lives.

It seems to me in debates, atheists generally view anyone with religious views with the same contempt irrespective of their interpretation of their particularly religion. There seems to be a very slight mockery at the very least, or out right hatefuleness at the most. It seems sometimes Atheist hold their viewpoint, in the same regard as fundamentalists, in that they are 100% right. Could it be that atheism is wrong and religion is right?

None of us can be 100% certain at all. It may just be that we are all wrong, or partially right. Or both sides are partially right. I believe in evolution and science, but I beleive there is no such thing as fact. I believe what is "fact" is only fact until disproved.

So what im asking is, why is it many atheists hold their view to be fact, when in essence atheism in itself is just anothery theory/viewpoint. It may be infallable just like religion may be. I know I may be generalising, but surely others have noticed this too?

The social pressure to believe in God is real. Please, do not belittle our attempt to sort out jumbled assertions. Atheists merely wish to examine this extraordinary claim. We are challenging the power of such utterances of men through whom God alleging spoke. What categorical utterance is privileged and incontestable? Leaving the absurdities of religion unchallenged is ludicrous. Is their God unable to withstand scrutiny? If there were a God, he would not only withstand scrutiny, but embrace it, as well. It is time for the public to hear both sides and analyze this ancient foolishness, and provide a proper place for it in our history books.
