I don't hate religion but i sure hate religious followers!
Religion just sounds stupid,why would you base your believes on a book that was written thousands of years ago,and with no scientific prof.?
Now you may say that religion is helping to make laws but every family, gang, tribe, nation, has rules of behaviour - every group develops rules.
It starts in the home - you wouldn't spit on your mother's bed would you?
Were you told specifically not to or did you just work it out?
Surely it's not mentioned in bibel, huh?
How did you come to believe (or not) in your current deity?
I think, therefore I am an atheist.

What has been your most pleasant experience with Christians?

Thank you for your response!
I am afraid I have to disagree with your attitude. It's your life and I respect that. But it's this sort of approach and attitude that gives atheism an unfair name. Not attacking you. But a lot of atheists share your attitude and like to proclaim it at every chance they can.
I have a point.
Who cares? Yes, religion is the cause of many bad things that have happened throughout history. No I don't approve of any actions taken by the extremists that don't benefit me or others I care about. But if we want equal acceptance, if we want to actually do something useful then one of us has to make the first (mature) move and be the 'better person'.
I'm not saying the crimes of the past should be forgiven and forgotten. But let's learn from them instead of using it as an excuse to harbor anger and hate. :/
