Perhaps there isn't proof to validate the existence of a supreme being, but I'm not calling on that. I understand that religion is based upon leaps of faith. Hell, it's even refered to as Faith. But I'm generally okay with people saying there is a God, then saying "This world is too beautiful for there to not be one" or something lofty like that.
It's when people use their faith to defend their moral choices and metaphysical beliefs when I get more annoyed. As I said in the second paragraph of my first post,

...we must defend our views in a philosophical manner, attempting to define morality and metaphysics beyond simply quoting from texts or leaders.
