I dont think atheists get upset about other people beliveing in God or Gods or whatever. As a rule anyway. I'm sure you dont have to be religious to be evangelical.


That's right.. some people, even nonreligious people, cannot sleep at night knowing that there are still people out there who haven't been graced with the 'truth' like THEY have.....

It's more about the way that religion influences politics, and skews societies in ways that aren't always in the best interests or wishes of the greatest possible number of people.


Religion can influence politics in positive ways too. The civil rights movement in the US was very much an Xtian cause... and earlier in history the antislavery movement was largely driven by religious groups.


I'm not religious myself, or an advocate for it. But intellectual honesty compels me to acknowlege the good along with the bad.
