You’re not opposed to something you find s generally bad influence that routinely produces behaviors you -are- opposed to?
Antitgeists have their own “why do you atheists eat babies” questions it has to field. Why are you so against comfort and do you have anything to replace contemporary Christian afterlives is one of them. It’s an absurdly silly objection to antitheism. Hockey and slurpees.
Here’s an easy way to check whether you find your own objection compelling. Does the comfort you think theism provides wash away the religious conflicts that you also think theism creates? Is the comfort of that person, available through myriad other means and beliefs ( and non beliefs) worth that? The zealot martyrs himself and finds comfort both by and for his theistic beliefs. Does his comfort make his martyrdom any less of a horrendous act?
