Where did RESPECT go?

I wonder, why some people have to mock other's religion, belief or what so ever? I mean if they don't believe in Supreme being... why do they have to make a joke or say blasphemous things?! It doesn't mean we have free speech and in a web we have all the rights to disrespect other people.

    This may be offensive to some -- I certainly don't mean it to be... But psychology tells us that the true atheists are those who are simply amused by the "quaintness" of religious belief. The true atheist ignores religion.

    The same psychological principle says, to borrow a phrase from Shakespear, the uncertain atheist "doth protest too much." Those that are afraid that they are mistaken, or most often are really just angry with the Supreme Being, are the ones who have to belittle religion.
