I've been wandering around the site, and I noticed the great passion of those without religion to enforce such. In fact, I'm beginning to believe the majority of users here are against all types of religion. I would have no problems with that if the opinions weren't so intensely deafening.
Is it necessary to point out at the end of an argument, "You'd have to be plain stupid to believe that!" or "Geez, how can people go around worshiping some bearded guy in the sky when he doesn't even exist!"? I respect your point, and you might be correct, but religious people are still people.
I realize it's probably a silly question, but if anyone has also noticed this, could you let me know? It may simply be I've wandered to all the wrong places and have reached the conclusion by coincidence. You never know with these things.
Indeed, there is quite a distinction. Not believing in religion shows nothing about moral standards. Someone can think the concept of higher beings is entirely false, yet still exhibit a strong sense of morality. After all, non-religious people are still people.
The vibe of wrong that I feel stems from the disrespect in regards to having a religion. It seems to spread throughout each related story - even unto this story. One user posts a comment here about how purely evil religious people are. This receives a positive response.
I'm not bothered by the fact that someone does not believe. I'm bothered by the fact that someone ridicules and insults just because another believes. That's all.
Is it normal religious people are good people

Is it any different from those who state that because someone doesn't believe in a god then they have no moral compass and can do whatever they like?
