So I see 2 threads of why islam hates people or why people hate Islam. I dont see the point of such a mundane debate based on religion any debate for or against religion would be stupid. Either you are stupid to believe what a prophet / god / divine entity said or you are stupid enough to believe you can change the minds of the bleak minded people who follow such a prophet / god / divine entity.
But since its fun let me initiate my own brand of 'why do' topic.
WHY DO ATHEISTS (like me) HATE RELIGION ?
Seriously what has to happen in a person's life for them to seriously give up hope on the one true everlasting brand (of religion) which their ancestors have followed for generations.
Everyone has their own story even I have mine, so lets hear some of it.
I am kind of an atheist. I don't believe there is a divine entity controlling the whole universe. I believe in people . Anyway, my point is that atheists might hate religion because they think some of the arbitrary rituals and superstitions are really irrational and unfair. Mostly people who think more scientifically and don't just follow blindly what their families teach them come under atheists group.
I have never been religious, but grew up in an environment where most people subscribed to a religion, but weren't the most serious about it. Over time, I've seen almost everyone I know distance themselves from religion. Most religions succeeded from localized knowledge, before the internet. I think the internet has changed the game, and it's very difficult to condition kids these days, when they have access to whatever information they choose.
I think religion is fine as long as it is tolerant and considerate of people that don't subscribe to the same belief system. Once you need to start convincing other people you are reading the right book and the other books are wrong, then it becomes an annoyance. With the internet and access to information, the trend is moving away from religion as each year passes.
