If someone wants to believe in [whatever] what do you care?
Many atheists these days are just as bad as religious nuts, droning on and on about what fucking geniuses they are because they don't believe in God, as if atheism is so mind-blowing nobody else has ever considered it before.
Religious people are obviously aware of atheism, and choose not to subscribe to it. So what?

People who persistently believe in [whatever] despite evidence to the contrary aren't just supporting that particular IDEA they are supporting a whole fucking way of decision making that is irrational and unsupportable, and left to its own devices will infect and destroy a civilized way of life.
How long do you think we would survive if , say, bridge engineers were allowed to sign off on structures by saying "I've looked it over, and I've prayed over it, and I have faith that it will continue standing this year." Nuclear reactors should get this treatment too right?
Stupidity, laziness and ignorance cause enough problems in this world, adding to it by condoning irrational magical thinking is criminal.
