Usually I stay out of these debates and i am not going to say I agree or disagree.

What I will say is it is annoying to here both sides preach that they are right and the other is wrong. That goes for both religious and non-religious people.

Here lately I have seen non-religious people preach a lot via internet and how the other group is wrong and that they are foolish to believe in God etc. Funny since non-religious people are complaining that they are doing the same to them.

It goes both ways. The way I've always operated is if you are a cool, good person then Im cool with you. If you are a dick then that is a different story. But I dont go preaching to people about what they should and should not believe in. If you want to worship a fly on a pile of shit then do so. And if you dont want to worship anything at all that is fine as well. But stop being so condescending against each other and people's beliefs. Religous or non-religous.

I think that general sentiment words very well on a personal level and has been what I've tried my best to adopt, but things change when you think of these things on a larger scale.  Things like gay and women's rights, and science education are being decided by people based on their religion which I find deplorable and is when I put that general rule aside and think it's best to start arguing my side on this.  I don't want to be governed based off a religion I don't even believe in, and I don't think that's what the US was meant to be in the first place.
