I have to wonder...with those who have a very mild form of religious belief (maybe if only believing that God or gods exist and nothing more), is there really much difference between those people and atheists who don't particularly care about their disbelief?
Both are live and let live as I have seen and are quite accepting of others. I have to even say that most Christians (and the Moslems I have met...save for one...well I don't think he was all that religious, just anti-Jewish) act in a way that is very much similar to atheists. Note, I'm not going along the lines of No True Scotsman.
Can you give me examples of atheists who`s behaviorpatterns are similar to those of religious fanatics?
