""On no provocation but their own paranoia, they constantly attack religion and the religious.""

Straw man strikes again!

Your prettily constructed perversion of the realities doesn't bear scrutiny once one looks at the identity of the original poster(s) on all of these "Atheists are evil" threads.

Not one has been started by an Atheist to attack the religious.

The reverse is the case. Every one has been started as a means to provoke a reaction from Atheists, so that the religious original poster can claim to be the victim of those nasty infidels.

I am not an Atheist, but rather than subscribe to what passes for religion among posters to this thread, I would join the Atheists' ranks.

They come across as much more honest and sincere than their opponents.
