I'm an atheist, I dislike religion and anything to do with it, but let me get one thing straight, I have NOTHING against people who are religious.
You see, my past with religion hasn't been the most ideal, me and religion mix about as well as nitro-glycerine mixes with a good shake.
I've never believed in any sort of god, I'm a man of science and logic, not of greater beings and holy things, although I bear no ill feelings towards those who do believe in religious practices, what I do dislike is when people try to shove religion down my throat. (Example, Jehovah’s Witness' who have on multiple evenings, knocked on my door, only to be greeted with it being slammed in their face.)
Religion is good for many people, it helps them get by in a harsh world, and if religion helps a person get through life, then by all means, go for it, my atheism is what gets me by and I stand by that, if there really is a god, then he or she gave us free will, and with that free will, I should be given the right to be free from ALL religion, ALL the time, therefore I choose not to believe.
Well, that's my thought on the subject, I've always been a big one for religious debate, but I know all too well how quickly a simple debate can turn into a flame war, especially about such a touchy subject like religion.
