I'm not religious, but I also don't go around bashing people who are.

There's a subtle but critical difference between criticizing something and 'bashing' it.  

Bashing religion is "All people of faith are ignorant sheep who can't think for themselves!  Religion at its core is a flawed theory and you're all dumb for believing it!" 

Criticizing religion is "There's no substantial proof in god or the spiritual.  Until you can prove it, I can't take your claims as anything more than empty claims." 

Learn the difference and you, too, can be on the path to enlightenment! 

But If i was religious my beliefs wouldn't be claims. They would be just that, beliefs. They would only be claims if i went around trying to convince others, which I wouldn't. Just like I don't try to convince religious folks that their beliefs are untrue. So who are you to "enlighten" someone who holds beliefs that differ from yours when they are minding their own business. Isn't that what atheists hate about certain religious people to begin with. Looks up the word hypocrit and then get back to me about englightenment. 
btw, this thread is basically bashing religious people. 

Also, Here's the definition of claims since you seem to be confused about that as well. 

Verb State or assert that something is the case, typically without providing evidence or proof.

Noun An assertion of the truth of something, typically one that is disputed or in doubt.
