Just as ego-driven is the need everywhere to be so overtly anti-religion as to be just as bad as the religious extremists. The stupidity in failing to see the difference between peaceful and not so peaceful religious people is mind blowing.

religion is an extension of ego, in my opinion. the idea that man thinks he can really have any idea of what is before and after this life (if anything) is evidence of this. atheism is still a 'reigion' to me, its still a firm belief of something even if that something is nothing. i don't think it really matters if religious people are peaceful or not, they are still pushing ideas that have slaughtered and marginalized millions of people. i don't agree with straight out atheism either. fact is we don't know and will never know, everyone should just accept that. and to those who are so low on the evolutionary scale that without religion they turn into animals, just kill yourself now. evolution would thank you.
