Atheists calling religious people morons will always be corny to me. Like you’re hating on someone for finding peace in their faith?

i hear this argument all the time but i’ve never actually witnessed an atheist call a religious person a moron. every one i have met are generally very respectful toward people’s religions because we know how it feels to have something pushed on to you that doesn’t feel right

You can have your religion. Idc. Just stop trying to regulate MY life with YOUR religion - not that you were, but many do.

Speaking from experience. Atheists can be quiet… pushy with their beliefs as well. I’ve been called worse than a moron many times and almost always with an attitude so sanctimonious and holier than tho it fits with the behavior of a stereotyped evangelical preacher from a bad Steven king book. Blame Dawkins Harris and crew but there is a whole movement in atheism which sees religion as an obstacle to humanity and is very interested in demolishing it.

I mean i get that not all atheists are like there. There are plenty of religious people that are pushy and condescending with their beliefs but not all of them are
