why hate religious people?

why hate atheists?

if it works for you, do it, as long as you dont impose it on me.

While I do not like to generalize, I do have a problem with uneducated Christians trying to covert me to their belief based on a book they don't understand. When I point out the historical inaccuracies, and the way that modern science, archiology, anthropology, and common sense all contradict what they believe, the answer I get most often is "you just have to have faith." This "don't ask questions, just believe" mentality is not good for society(see the dark ages). Also the history of Christianity is especially appalling, even for a religion. The Crusades, the Inquisitions, the Salem Witch Trials, all atrocities the were allowed to happen because of the "you have to have faith" mentality. This is not only a christian problem, any religion that demand you not question it's core values must have something to hide (like it's based on paganism, e.g. Christianity). The world will not know true peace until religion is removed from society, and all people except that furthering human kind is the only purpose for our existence, and the only afterlife is the memory we leave behind. We are heading toward a one world union, it's time to put aside our silly superstitious differences and do what's best for the human race as a whole. If you're spreading religion, you're furthering the cause of hate, and you are part of the problem. Maybe instead of "What would Jesus Do?" We should ask, "What should I do?"

Instead of trying to get as many people as possible to see things your way, maybe people should start interpreting things on their own. My biggest problem with organized religion is the sheep mentality. I think many people don't even grasp their own religion, they just have a superficial, general understanding and connection with the people around them. Everyone is different so religion should mean something different to each individual. If there is a god then why does there have to be a middle man? If there is such thing then i think it would be ridiculous for people not to be in tune with him on their own without the support of a group or through the filter of an official. So much structure enables the majority to do what they do best. Follow and not question anything. Then it becomes more like Simon Says than a struggle for righteousness or spirituality. . With so much guidance it is easy for people to feed off the collective faith and let something so personal become just another petty social device. Because of this, i think the mindless, rapid expansion of an organized religion is convoluting most personal spiritual enhancement. Then again, even if it is nothing more than a support group, it has saved some people. .

Most mainstream religions all worship the same god. Why is it important how people worship the same god?
