ARGGGGGGGGGGGGG, ALL religions and I do mean all, need to be treated like that.
Although "athiest" is a position, there are atheists that have created churches and made lists of "moral codes" ant that can turn a lower case "a" atheist into an upper case "A" Atheist into an organized political group and any form of dogmatism to that degree can become a poison.
Religion is group think, to a dogmatic degree and even political parties can become religions and states can become religions.
I actually quite agree with you.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
