I think Atheism is like one of those new age self help religions, like modern Budhddism or Scientology.

The fact you compared atheism to a religion is funny enough.

Do you not see it as bad as them though? atheists are pushing their view onto others, just like the preachers in the street. I have a religious friend to also hates those people, mainly because he doesn't like the whole pushing religion on people but for them to come to accept their faith on their own.

 

 I'll step it up a level.

What do Atheists, Vampires, and Jewish lawyers have in common?

They all scream hystericaly when confronted by a cross in a public building.


But seriously, agnostics have a don't know, don't care , and don't understand what the big fuss is about religion. Which is completely the opposite of atheists. Atheists have taken a basic agnostic attitude, distorted it to militant absolutism, and added the worst aspects of religious zeal while trying to convert others. They basically made a religion out of it.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
