It is a stupid kids fantasy to want others to be good people? That is not self evident to me. What makes it stupid?
I care about the level of education of atheists. Does that make me a bad person? I care that many atheists are not even at an undergraduate level of science or philosophy, like the people posting on this thread, who see that modern physics proves that God cannot exist (it does not) and are unware of basic argumentation techniques and Greek philosophy.
It is one thing for someone to genuinely use academic methods to process everything they do, and submit their minds to a scientific worldview. This is a bad idea. It is another thing to believe that you have done this, when you have not. When you are following others who have deceptively used logical sounding words to make people believe that as they use the words which signify logical terms, they are actually doing real philosophy or science.
If you have a critical mind, this would bother you, that people are mislead in their assessment of the degree to which they can perceive the veracity of truth claims.
