He also didn't say all atheists, just the ones that are stuck up. I dont think there's a particular level of assholeness with people like that regardless of religion though. Actually, when I think about it, only the religous ones will try to convert you into thinking they're better.

religions create war and death ... how is that a good thing ? ... i do beleave in some sort of higher power or something out there ... but religion haha its a joke forever religion has done nothing but turn people against eachother , and still doing it today ..
you guys all see the homeless dude downtown victoria that has his sign saying Doomsday is comming and has been around forever .. if this was 1000's of years ago and he had writtin a book some may have called him something special ..
someone said something about religion doing good for the people who need help ... yes i do beleave this is tottally possible because it gives them something "better" to live for and try harder for the bibles reason's ...
pray for god all you like .. just not 1 particular god .. all religions are only good for taking your hard earned money

fun facts:
Mary, jesus' mother was a huge whore who banged out like 25 guys and blamed the pregnancy on god. virgin birth lolz.
God isn't real and you're retarded for even thinking about it. I will look down on you as if you had downs, for beleiving in god, any god. The word alone pisses me off.
adults with imaginary friends are fools.
simple facts prove religious people are retarded, and if you ask for any explanation on that, you have proven my point. common sense people! Think about it!
the day religion goes away is the day we can live in peace. It's too bad we have so many fucking retards in this world.

"Meanwhile, the number of people willing to describe themselves as atheist or agnostic has increased about fourfold from 1990 to 2009, from 1 million to about 3.6 million."
Age of the enlightenment.
science>religion
reasoning>faith
government>church
evolutionist>creationist
joy from compassion>fear for punishment in hell
