additionally, a problem occurs because many religious texts have old scientific theories couched within them. how old is the earth? where did man come from? why do certain things happen? when our newer interpretation and explanations run counter to these theories, then many within the religion feel that the entire religion is under attack. thus sets up the big fight between science and religion.
most atheists i know wouldn't give two shits who prays to what, if they didn't also insist on creationism being sold as 'science,' or noah's ark as being probable (2x2 remember) and so forth. sure, it's religion, it's belief, and most of us don't give a damn if you believe it. but don't try to put it next to f=ma and say that they are equivalent. they're not.
