And you make a good point. To me religious people are selfish in another way too.
It's like they think they are so special that the only explanation for the human race is an all-powerful, supernatural being created them in his own self image. That, to me, shows selfishness
religion is overrated
I'm a strong atheist too but I consider that we should beware of falling in the pit of the opposite extreme.
Atheism is sufficiently sure that it's principles reflect the true nature of the universe without any need for supranatural forces, so that it has no need to desconsider the believes of others.
Atheism does not hold the monopoly of the feelings or spiritual needs of people and therefore should not desconsider the believes of religious people ,the least of it to consider them as dumb.
We surely critic the believe in God and disprove in different ways it's existence,but in the same time we must recognize that a lot of people especially youngsters seeking for answers about the meaning of the universe or the meaning of life will not find total solutions in atheism
because atheism stumbles itself about a lot of problems.
So let's always adopt a cautious approach when comparing believers versus non believers in God.
