i don't believe all athiests hate religion, i am an athiest yet i respect others individual freedom and rights to practice whatever faith they chose.
spirituality is important for everyone, for myself at least what i consider 'spirituality' is quite different than someone who practices one of the major world religions
it is true there are some athiests that want to convert everyone............ just like there are bible thumpers that want to convert everyone.....
despite my personal views and the fact the religion in history has been the cause of many conflicts/ wars/ deaths... ect... I don't think our civilization as a whole is ready to all be athiests right now..... some can handle it and some cannot..
