Religion only cheapens our existence here. It literally devalues our lives by saying there is something greater after this. I find that tragic and believe that we should love this life more than anything because it's the only one we get.

Also, your argument about church being about community can be used to rationalize why the KKK exists. Sure, they teach hate, intolerance, and above all, teach that they are the superior ones, while everyone else are lesser beings; but hey, if it brings a community together, than it MUST be healthy and good for society, right?

Cthulu im an atheist, but it doesnt mean im right. Its a belief, just like any other. Saying "because its the only one we get" as if its law is rather presumptuous. I agree its the only life we get, and the videos youve linked about atheism I am in accord with. But im only 99.99% sure that when I die its over. There is absolutely no way for me to be sure until i check out of here. For you to say "because its the only one we get" as if its self-evident truth makes you sound like a dogmatic religious person, which you are railing against.

it's not about being right, it's about the fact that religion is used to pass laws, to sway civil right changes, and over all control Government legislation. I have a problem with religion because it perpetuates ignorance and it insults our intelligence and tries to destroy our need to explain WHY things exist they way they are by simply saying that a GOD did everything.

I would be 100% fine with people believing in God if it try to corrode science with Sunday schools and people using religion to try to say evolution doesn't exist, or that stem cell shouldn't be used because it violates their imaginary friend's law and when corrupt leaders get tax exemptions and profit off the meek because they lead a religion. When things like this occur, it is time to put a stop to religion as a protected entity.
