No, tspikes, you're wrong because we aren't motivated by a god that doesn't exist.
You don't know if there's a god or not.
I do too...
No, you don't. Shut the fuck up.
But we never had a pope or anything tell people to kill people.
No, not yet (or at least any notable incidents like the Inquizition). Atheists were almost non-existent until fairly recently, though. Give them 500 more years and then we'll talk.
But the creationist theory isn't very believable
Who gives a shit how we got here. We can't change it.
But evolution
Again, who cares. It doesn't have much to do with religion.
I see this trend everywhere that just because people are atheist it gives them immunity from being a fanatic. You're not right, and neither are religious people. So stop comparing dick size, man up, and agree to disagree; because nobody's gonna ever be right or wrong.

I dont think you can really say anyone who holds a belief has a certain characteristic... but I have to admit, I know some people who would call themselves athiests, who basically hold an unflinching view that anyone who believes in God must be an idiot, since the whole idea is so easily demolished.... which I personally find as foolish and as single minded as people who believe tehir own interpration of one view of God is the unquestioned truth and everyone else is going to hell.
