Some of the atheists here say that they are called by religious people "immoral", or even "sinful" and "evil".
Well, it is a fact. It does get rather redundant and you couldn't blame someone for standing up and say 'enough is enough'

The above is also accurate, the difference is that atheists have evidence and theists do not
The thing is that YOUR belief system is of no interest. It is YOUR belief system. Sorry pumpkin but no one cares.

It has united nations, given people a set of moral values that are good for the well-being of society. For hundreds of years most of the education and medicine was practiced by the Church. Finally most organizations that help the poor sick or homeless are originally Christian.
Unfortunately the above is inaccurate. Religion has done a great deal of harm within the world and is still inflicting itself on a very tired population. This is one of the issues that really gets an atheist's back up. The organisations that "help" have been doing it for 70+years and they are still no closer to bringing water to African villages nor freeing the world from starvation. But hey!! Aids has REALLY taken off in Africa thanks to xtianity!!

No religion is a crutch for the emotionally and psychically crippled...we know this as a fact...but like dandruff many have a religion and spend time and money fiddling with it.
