thats a good way of looking at it but i noticed that most of the atheists hear seem to be really intolerant of other religions which if you ask me should change
You know what, I agree. Intolerance will get you no where in this world. Weither you believe in God or not, if you are intolerant no one will care what you have to say. I already do not listen nor read any posts from certian perople because they show no signs of trying to understand. You can choose to not believe in God but calling down someone who does is just moronic. Same goes for people who call down others that do not believe. It is their belief and let them have it. Do not push your ideas on others.
