It only matters what you think they are, I suppose. There is a HUGE portion of these people who probably think you're an idiot and a terrible person because of your lack of faith. You don't care what any of them think. They don't care what you think.

100% agreed.

You should have ended this sentence here.

Sweet. We can start with religion, then we can start legislating against other forms of freedoms and thinking we don't agree with.
I completely understand everyone's disagreement, because I don't agree with these people. However, I personally know a LOT of people who have strong religious beliefs. These friends are from various faiths, including Catholics, Mormons, Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Baptists, Muslims and even a couple of JW's. I have had spirited discussions with many of them due to my disdain for organized religion. We don't agree, but they aren't idiots. They aren't bad people. They are some of the most intelligent, caring, helpful, productive people you could ever meet. Lumping all of these people into one pot of religious insanity is like saying all attorneys are over-litigious, douche bag liars out to cheat everyone in sight out of every cent they can get. Heeey... maybe after we legislate religion into oblivion, we can use the same tactic to rid ourselves of lawyers.
There you go. Now, let me have it!
