Why does it seem that there are more atheists trying to disprove religion, than people seeking religious truth

in this category or religion, i keep finding questions about how Christians, and Jews, and all these other religious people are awful, hypocritical, stupid morons. Do atheists really have nothing better do do with their time? Come on, whats wrong with religion? If it doesn't work for you, thats fine, but can't you leave people that find peace and happiness in believing in something higher alone? Besides, what does it hurt that people are religious? It keeps them honest and just, and gives them other admirable qualities as well. I don't see whats wrong with it?I'm not saying that all religious people are good, honest, decent people, that would be foolish.But the reverse stereotype is foolish too.Also, there seem to be a lot of people dumping on other religions.Doesn't that defy what your own religion anyway?Shouldn't you be spreading the truth of your religion rather than telling how another is stupid and doesn't make sense?Won't the higher spirit you believe in guide them to the truth?

    Atheism isnt a religion. Defying atheism would be believing in a god... so no to your first question... Spreading the belief that there is no such thing as god is what we are doing. We don't believe in a higher power....

    You are silly

    Because Satan is winning!!! Woaahahahah....

    Oh wait. Or maybe it's because there is more tolerance and better understanding of the world. People now don't have to believe in a religion, they can choose. And when they look at the universe they are seeing that religions don't add up for them. Maybe that has something to do with it?

    Dude, I just upgraded my cable package. I now get five Jesus channels, but no atheist channels (Unless you count Discovery and National Geographic). Atheists exist in a society that legislates morality, in which the separation of church and state is seen as threat to personal wellbeing by a significant number of people. The presentation of Christianity is woven into experiences of daily life without a second thought, but publically questioning these beliefs makes one a rabble rouser. Whatever. (Jesus was a rabble rouser)

    "Besides, what does it hurt that people are religious?"

    oh my...the stupidity.

    the reason why we always share our opinion is because we are trying to make the world a better place! until religion dies out there will never be world peace because religious people's brains are soooo restricted meaning a very high percentage of the population is very very unintelligent! we are trying to help!

    There are many people here who came seeking religious truth. During a long enough stay, you may come to realize that religious truths are harder to distinguish then ever imagined.

    Many people in here are simply trying to justify their own lifestyle choices. On way to try and proactively silence your conscience is to attack anything that causes you to doubt your convictions. This is why there is so much anger. you wouldn't see Santa or the Tooth fairy attacked in this manner because no one really believes they exist.

    You say religion keeps people honest?

    You get my vote for having the most asinine comment of the day.

    Atheism is the FINAL religious truth, religious adulthood.

    Simple - religious people keep calling them out. And then wonder why they're here.
