I would just like to firstly say, Polaris, you should've quit this thing some time ago. Everyone now thinks you're a total ass.
And secondly, the atheists that I personally know are AWESOME people who don't go around attacking christians, muslims, or anyone else religious. They're not trying to prevent anyone from praying in public or worshiping how they see fit. In fact, as long as the religious people around them don't push their beliefs onto them, they're more than willing to share a beer (or an ice-water) with them at any time. Not a single one of my atheist friends has EVER tried to convince me not to be a deist and they have certainly never tried to prevent any grade-schooler from praying for his lunch.
In fact, the only people ever trying to prevent others from doing harmless activities that don't interfere with the rights of others are indeed ... you guessed it ... the religious.
