I agree, I just can't help but think that people who are overly religious (I use the term overly loosely) lack originality and free thought. Why put all your faith in someone other than yourself and loved ones? God doesn't find you a job, graduate college for you, or raise your kids for you. I feel like.....give yourself some credit, you know? I appreciate the sentiments behind most religions but I truly feel that humanity as a whole isn't intelligent enough to interpret religious doctrine properly. It's supposed to be a guildline, not a mandate. So many people internalize the meanings behind religious text to such an extreme that they become completely unwilling to compromise in any way. People aren't robots.
Is it normal For atheists to 'look down' on others?
