Religion is not just some persons opinion .  Dodgy

The stance on atheism isn't exactly a calm exchange either, to say the least, it is probably an extremist religion of some sort.

Atheism is not a religion.  Please try to get that much straight, at least.

And why should we strive to be calm when we are constantly beset by assholes who claim that their particular favourite imaginary friend is going to do horrible things to us because we don't believe?  That is intolerably, unforgivably rude, and you should be grateful that the Internet standard FTP stands for "file transfer protocol" and not "fist transfer protocol."

Why would fairy tales upset atheists?

It's not the fairy tale itself; it's the fact that believers are deliberately conveying a message intended to cause fear in the recipient.  It's no different than phoning me up and telling me to give you $10,000 in cash so that I won't get my kneecaps broken.

To put this in perspective, how would you like it if a follower of Zeus told you that he had prayed to his god to burn your house down with a lightning strike?  You may not believe in Zeus, but the person wishing you harm is real.

Who cares?  I don't seek to use the government to deprive anyone of their rights or an education or commit hates crimes or abuse children or.................................... "because atheism told me to".

When the religious manage to keep their filthy god-peen in their pants I'll stop mentioning that their dick is hanging out, just like yours is hanging out all over these boards. The man who offers cover for that shit, by calling people meanies, no less..is only marginally better than the fucking rapist.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The answer to your question is yes. And that's a good thing. God wishes to be taken as the True Master and King of humans, who is referred to for all disputes and looked to for guidance.

We await the return.

You keep looking towards the sky, Mystic...if it prevents you from mutilating little girls.

In a heartbeat.  I don't mind crucifying fictional characters.

Wake up, boy.  You've been conned your whole life.
