It seems to me that religion is the continuation of politics. Atheists are people who have their own opinion and do not suffer when they are run. Religion is fake, but it is beneficial to the state and why politicians support religion. Maybe because atheists less.
In fact, one can understand why atheists are so strongly opposed to believers and God Himself. Maybe these are the very people who are disappointed or faced with very strong problems. But the bulk of them just went after someone who can talk convincing.
Atheists never conflict with believers. They just do not notice them. On the contrary, believers behave more aggressively to those who do not believe in God.
