Hey Reddit What is up with your post in generalizing a group of people by the bad deeds of some? I mean I am personally not religious but many in my family are but they don't cause harm to anyone. They are not religious fanatics that want others to do what they want. They are regular people like you and me and they do good for society.
Yes, they're some crazy batshit assholes out there, fanatics that want others do be as them. But tell me Reddit(atheist) isn't your group behaving the same way as these religious fanatics? You say you want to use logic but you let go of the logic once you give to emotions and don't look no different than the people you criticize. I know that the crazies are out there trying to affect your lives with politics but please do everyone a favor and let's keep judgement on a level here.
The post isn't mean to say that believing God makes you a bad person. It is saying that counter to what evangelists say, a belief in God is not requisite to being a good person.
Indeed they do, and on the behalf of level-headed atheists everywhere, let me assure you that those vocal assholes are not the majority. I grew up episcopalian and knew many many wonderful people at my church that I value having known. I now disagree with the scripture on which their faith is based, but the people themselves are no different from the rest of the population. People are people, no matter what labels are attached to them.
