Most religous people are decent, hardworking, productive citizens. Most of the problems with religious people we have in the USA come from hardcore fundamentalist creationists. The majority of members of, for instance, Americans United for Separation of Church and State are religious. The liberal Quakers, United Church of Christ, Unitarian Universalists, and so on are on my side on pretty much everything but my opinion on the existence of God.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
