"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Because we're the enlightened ones, with the moral high ground. Right?

Also because these guys are doing our work for us. All they do is discredit religion.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

For all their noise pollution, at least they aren't being physically violent about it. All they're really accomplishing is showing one of the worst sides of religion. On a positive side, they are not the kind of extremist group that kills people for having different beliefs, because that would be even worse. In their own way, they at least have some humanity left in them, or at least they're smart enough to know they can't do what even more extremist groups do without getting into serious trouble.

That's pretty positive, if'n you ask me. People should know that their daily bread is moldy.
