Well, at least now you're admitting it's simply opinion, but can you see how that opinion would be insulting to non-believers? You speak of nastiness on AF, but how many members have told you that you are a bad person and deserve to rot in hell for having different beliefs? I'm entirely confused at how you can criticize the nastiness you see here, yet think it's perfectly reasonable to believe that others will go to hell for not having the same beliefs.
To me, it appears that you suffer from the same condition that creates the nastiness here, only you have disguised it and justify it by calling it religious beliefs.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
