Your point is both really deep and really stupid. Gods have affected human life greatly, real or not, but that doesn't qualify them as real. Santa Claus has affected a lot of people, but most adults don't believe that he is real in the way that he is normally shown. Maybe the problem is that religious and atheist people define "real" differently. One of many reasons why we can't understand eachother.
Also, both sides think that the other side wants to convince them, and that only their side is the peaceful one. If we both admitted that we were both just trying to live according to our beliefs we would get on much better. However, the aggressive 1% on each side is all the other beliefs hear. To me the entire thing is depressing.
Is it normal to have this point of view on religion?
