3. they will always grasp at straws

...because straws are all they have. I think they see the writing on the wall but will kick and scream all the way to the dump.

I don't believe that I have ever "hated" religion. I do, however, don't well understand how those who traveled the same road as I have continue to believe. The evidence against faith in a deity is so great that it becomes a willfull ignorance.

I do harbor anger and vitriol at those who try to push their religion into places it does not belong, like government and public spaces. You want to believe in your fictitious God? Fine. Go to church. Pray in your closet like your ancient book tells you to do.
