Well then you're screwing up, and frankly you're being a jerk to those who hold religious beliefs. Religion is not ridiculous. People who have religion do not deserve public ridicule any more than people who do not have religion deserve it. The fact is that we cannot prove the existance of God either way. Frankly anyone who tries to prove OR disprove the existance of a deity is barking up the wrong tree. Unless God himself comes down and proves to us that he is a god, there is no way of knowing whether or not he exists.
I'm not religious but that doesn't mean that I show religious people the marked disrespect that you are showing them in your post.
Religious people have good reason to believe in their religion - they, their parents, and society has believed in it for over 2,000 years. There is no less evidence that God exists than there is that Socrates existed, yet I don't see people running around saying people who believe in Socrates are stupid.

And why would you want to do that? What possible motivation would you have, other than pure mean spiritedness, for taking such a significant part of people's lives away from them?

And yes, if you believe in most religions, I think your beliefs are ridiculous, silly, and stupid.

Well I'm agnostic, but I still think your attitude here is immature, mean, and stupid. Leave these people alone. They're not hurting you.
