Can't we all just agree that whether or not there is a God, it's just not going to matter to some people, and will consume the entire life and being of others, and that's just the way the human psyche is?

And just who would be doing this fulminating? Calling atheism a religion is rather wrong, I suppose for some its a cause, for me its just what I think. I'm not part of any organization, I don't have a creed, I don't give any money, I don't have a shrine, I don't say prayers, I don't focus on being one with nothing, and I don't have a picture of no-god on black velvet in my living room. There really isn't anything to tie it accept to say that it requires 'faith' to say there is no god because we can't know, but even I as an atheist admit I am not 100% sure, I just see it as very highly unlikely. It is the theist who has the 100% certainty.
The problem isn't people who believe in a God, the problem is the stupid things they try to do to each other and me in the name of this God, which is why I can't say I mind a growing atheist movement.
