Atheism may not be defined as a religion, but it really is. It is a set of beliefs about whether you think there is a higher power or not. It is what you belief about where we come from and where we are going to.
Being an atheist does not somehow make you superior or know better than everyone else. You are not more intelligent or more questioning as you seem to imply, Wynn. You have not somehow found the real answer. You have just found a set of beliefs that works for you. I will respect your belief system if you respect mine.
If you look at comments across the net, atheists come across as arrogant and aggressive. I cannot understand why they are so intolerant of what others belief. There seems to be this huge desire to make fun of everyone else not sharing their "superior" views. As a matter of fact, atheists seem to be more obsessed with God, even if it is to deny His existence, than many believers.
I think when you are really confident in your own beliefs, you have no need to break others down.
