Sounds good to me You're honest enough to admit it's based on emotions, I respect that. You have no duty to defend or debate deism here, so if someone keeps bothering you about it you can just ignore them.

It's the harm religion causes that I am against first and foremost, and it seems you agree with that.

I think street preachers are generally either disturbed individuals, or arrogant pricks. But I respect their freedom of speech, as long as they're not too loud or actively hassling people. If it progressed into hate speech/incitement then I'd draw the line.
