Well that's a lot better than being an athiest in a muslim country which often results in death, torture, inprisonment, persecution or even put in mental asylums. There are lots of reasons that cause people to be religious anyway and stupidity is only one of them. The most common is the culture you are brought up in. I broke away from my christian upbringing when I was 13 approx when I realised it was complete nonsense and had no connection with reality but in my environment it was completely safe to do so which is not the case in many parts of the world where to be safe you still have to pretend to believe. |
"What you believe in is complete nonesense actually." I have no desire to take part in religious discussion online, but I also do not want to be mocked for my beliefs unprovoked. As for your first statement, however atrocious an offence is does not make a much lighter offence any better. Atheists want religious people to "Keep it to themselves." Well please extend the same courtesy.
