I think religion is poisonous, and that the world would be a better place if less/no people were religious. Now I'm not saying that religions don't have good ideas, because there's a lot of good concepts, I get down with Jesus and all that, but time and time again it's been proven that organized religions, like Christianity, Islam, Catholicism, etc, have caused more harm then good. And I don't buy that "Religions do so much good for others" because they do, but so do secular organizations. Perhaps more so. And if the only reason someone like Mother Theresa did her thing was fear of eternal damnation(not saying she did, just an example), then it's insincere and is selfish in the long run.
However, having said all that, I'm not going to tell someone that they can't have a religion. We live in a country based on the freedoms to express oneself anyway they want and I'm cool with that. But I understand why there are evangelical atheists. They probably feel as strongly about religion as I do, or stronger. I will though, debate people if I'm in the mood. Like the Jesus freaks that roam downtown during events, they recruit their children to pass out tracts and shit, so that kinda triggers me. And like Terry said earlier in the thread, my knowledge of the Bible is generally far greater than their own and so I trounce them in a debate and they just walk off with a sarcastic remark and in a huff.
