I really don't understand why people have to do that though, can't they just mind their own bussines ? Not just talking about atheists, same goes for religious people. But let's face it, atheists are a lot more "noisy" about this matter these days. For example if there's a sad video where people died and if there's a comment "My prayers go out to their families, God bless" it is mostly likely completely thumbed down, while the comment replying to it "omg fuckn retard god dosnt exist!11" has thumbs up.
I also have a "friend" irl which keeps complaining about how religious people shove down their beliefs. I asked him, when was the last time someone told him to "accept Jesus", he just stood there quiet. Few days later he got the idea of doing a graffiti over a church wall with some random crap. Hypocrit.
Opposing religion is no better than opposing atheism, and as a atheist you may think like "yeah but atheism is the truth, atheist is the right way, blah blah" Well guess what, religious people think the same way, and as long as you can't completely disapprove the existence of God with enough proof, you are not on the winning side. Not atheism, not Religion.
I'm not going to go into the depths about why God should be real or why atheism doesn't have enough proof or shit like that because that's not the point of my post and it's completely and utterly pointless to discuss things like that.
Anyway, what i meant here was: It shouldn't concern you about what people believe in, its their problem, not yours. So why stick your nose in other people's lives and critisize them ?
