Like schools, government, sometimes hospitals, our own homes when they come knocking, marriage and even come to tell us how to live our lives ect ect.
My early schools tried to push me into religion, I got told off for not singing religious songs, told I was going to hell a couple of times.
If religion never interfered with anything, ANYTHING! or Anyone then I guess there would be nothing to complain about, nothing to speak out against and such.
I only have a problem with religions that interfear. Those that don't, I have nothing against and have never spoken out against them.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
