But again, they all pretty much suck.
No we don't live on an island. My Catholic mother does not suck, she has been damned good to me. I would object only to claims Catholics or any sect of any religion might make. I still have family and friends and co workers who might make me want to mentally and metaphorically strangle them, but I cant hate people merely because they might make a claim I find to be nutty.
But you do bring up a good point. I do hate it when people come to atheists sites and wonder what our "fixation" is. If the majority of people in America were Hindus then that would be what we would deal with the most.
People can be decent people and still hold nutty claims. I really can only hate claims and or individuals, but I don't disown another person as a family member or friend based on one claim or one issue.
People make sucky claims all the time. I even had an atheist claim that the transporter of Star Trec was a possibility.
