Question about religion on yahoo?

Question

So I've noticed that there are alot more athiests in the religion section of Answers than people who believe in a religion.  Any ideas as to why this might be?  Do you have nothing better to do than to sit around and discuss why you think or *know* youre right, and everyone else who believes in a higher power is *wrong?*  I mean, it is, after all, the religion section; something to which you guys obviously have no real affinity towards.  How low that must make you feel, eh?

Or maybe not, because all the other people just like you thumb up each others answers and thumb down all the semi-religious answers, even if they are more guiding and complete than your own answers, which really boil down to "there is no god" and "christians are idiots."  So who are the real idiots here?  If someone has a *real* question about religion; perhaps theyre going through a rough time or are interested in learning what religion has to offer, im sure they dont want to hear your demeaning and too often shallow statements.  Most of you probably even have best answers of less than 3%.  I know this question isnt going to do anything about it, except perhaps make you reflect on why you do what you do.

I just want to hear you guys try to come up with an explanation as to why you act so blatantly narrow minded.  Is it cultural?  were you raised by athiests?  surrounded by them your whole life?  or is it acquired through a lifetime of deep thought?

tell me truthfully, ill give best answer to the person who explains the most completely and doesnt give me the same monotonous answer that they give everyone else.  i am completely unbiased.

thank you for your time.

They are angered by what religion can and does do to our society. Such as mandatory religious study in the Public School System. They are also concerned how religion can effect decisions by people in Governments.

The such a lot enlightment or profundity you may wish for on Yahoo! Answers S&R class can be testimonials of bigotry. Many are dwelling-schooled. The majority have in no way stepped external the territorial bounds of the USA. ninety nine% haven't any second language skillability. In a word, simply take what you'll be able to get.

We are just trying to help the "blatantly narrow-minded" also known as the religious, come to their senses. We put up with crap from you religious people in the real world all the time, let us vent on the internet, please, its our safe home. And one day good will triumph over evil! Evil being religion of course. ugh.

While I agree with you, what exactly do you think picking an argument with these people is going to elicit? You can't expect someone to just open their mind all because you said so, people like that have been closed minded long before and will be long after an angry tirade against them. If anything this post only causes them to ignore your beliefs all the more.

Because of this: - Just like islam Atheism kills!!!

Some of the greatest evil seen has been perpetrated by those who have adopted an evolutionary approach to morality - Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot.
Atheistic evolutionist Sir Arthur Keith acknowledged of Hitler:
'The German Fuhrer... has consistently sought to make the practice of Germany conform to the theory of evolution'.

Many millions have suffered terribly and lost their lives because of this atheistic way of thinking. Atheism kills, because without God there are no rules - anything goes! 
Atheists are at the forefront of efforts to legitimize abortion euthanasia, drug-taking prostitution pornography and promiscuity. All those things cause misery, suffering and death. Atheism is the philosophy of death.

Now they have no logical alternative but to accept that Jesus is God:

“I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. 

You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. “

For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 
Col 2:9 (NIV)
