Anything in extreme is bad. A lot of people have such a negative view of religion because of the extremists. People who knock on your door to tell you you're going to hell. One thing that bothers me is people who say you must find religion to be a good person. There are good and bad people who believe any assortment of things. Beliefs and thoughts do not make someone a bad person. Actions do.
I am not sure where this idea comes from. I have never once heard anyone say specifically "You need a belief to be a good person".
If people think so it might be the idea religious people are more charitable so must be better people. Not that anyone would really ever says this.
No one needs a religion to be a good person. However most religions for the most part just say "To be a good person" . People seem to confuse morals with religion. Simply having morals does not make you religious. Religion is basically a code of ethics which in fact all people have.
IIN I get annoyed when atheist try to push atheism on other people?
