Why is it ok for people to believe in some fake things and not others?

149. How exactly does one reject faith for someone else?

Not even sure how that works, let alone the obvious strawman that anyone in this thread did any such thing to begin with.

But let’s pretend for a moment one could reject faith for someone else. You stil don’t have a case it’s just as bad. There is exactly zero doctrine and dogma that goes with atheism. There’s no venerated and infallible book that goes with atheism that tells anyone to do anything or discriminate against anyone else. There’s no people associated with atheism who hand direction allegedly from a higher power from which there’s no arbitration. There’s no conveniently unverifiable promise of reward or punishment that goes with atheism.

For example, can you really say the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) have been a force for harm?

Yes. Some of their congregations are quite intolerant. Not that it really matters. Nobody here is claiming all religious people do unethical acts on behalf of their religion, so the assumption otherwise is not exactly any sort of meaningful basis for an argument.
