Why can't we accept it?

[Atheist And Proud]

We are lucky in the UK that theists have, for the moment, lost the power that they had to persecute non-theists.
But in other nations they still have the power and use it mercilessly to oppress and punish people like us that refuse to believe what they would like you to believe.

It does not pay to be complacent, American funded evangelists are trying to sneak creationism into british schools and muslims are trying to get a majorities in school parent groups so they can influence the agenda.

I know I can't change that but if in America people started to take that point of view, even a few people then it would do a world of good...for them and the people around them.

I mean they can't be told of for letting people believe what they want, it doesn't change you're views on religion.

For example if you're a christian just don't try and change other peoples views, its not like you're going to get into trouble for not trying to change someones opinion.

I mean it's not like you meet an Atheist and you talk and everything then you go back to you're family and no ones going to scream at you WHY DIDN'T YOU CONVERT THEM AND TRY AND MAKE THEM A CHRISTIAN???

Same goes to atheists. No ones going to yell at you if you meet a religious person and you don't try and change their views.

Yes but religion also gives hope and creates a community.

No, religious people can do that; but religion itself is highly divisive and morally corrosive.

Oh yeah, thats what I meant, sorry about the confusion and I agree with you're earlier statement
