Militant Atheists seek to insult and belittle religious people who find their religion above all else to be logical, if they did not find their belief to be logical they would not believe in it. This form of logic is not dependent on evidence but rather it is a matter of faith. Further more you will never be able to argue against someone and win that argument, you will never be able to prove something for someone but they must prove it for themselves. In essence every atheist who is trying to disprove religion is wasting their time when they should be focusing more on the political agenda of their dominions... at least if they truly wanted to stop mass suffering on a global scale. All it achieves to do is create friction in a society where we should be living as a family, together, and inseparable. Instead we divide ourselves, by ethnicity, by political ideologies, by wealth, and by spiritual beliefs. It is from this division that we are so easily taken advantage of, and people like Richard Dawkins only seek to make the rift between us and our family deeper even if they themselves do not realize it. People in time will prove themselves wrong, making this whole militant atheism campaign a waste of time and if not a distraction and a scapegoat for governments to use to avert the eyes of the public from their political dealings.
I am not sure if this message will reach any of you, atheists in my experience are no better than theists when it comes to rationality. All they managed to do was fit two pieces of a puzzle together in a puzzle that has over a million pieces. There is so much to learn in this life we can ill afford to waste time in it.
So please reconsider your stance on religion.
I guess you make a point when you say religious people can not be persuaded with logic when their belief is faith based. I think it's possible though. I think raising awareness for atheism is pretty much paramount for the atheist movement aside from abolishing religion (that would be the ultimate goal). Your argument about how society should just be one big happy family is a nice sentiment besides the fact that what you're basically saying is to just shut up about atheism. Atheists in general are far more accepting than most religious groups btw. As for atheists being just as rational as theists LOL! That's bullshit. I will wear my atheist t shirt with pride, like like how the christians wear the crosses around their neck. I see no double standard here. If Christianity is acceptable to preach about and spread the word of, then so is atheism.
