Most people are agnostics most of their lives, not thinking about any deity in
the small joys and pains of daily life. My real life experiences are that
beyond
that most of the rest of the time people are not interested in fighting over
religion. Why fight unless you think you can beat religion into or out of
another?
Unfortunately a few toxic individuals do think they have the right and power to
decide what others should think. My real life experiences are that such toxic
personalities occur with the same frequency among atheists, Christians,
Moslems,
and every other beliefs. It is not function of religion or lack thereof but a
sign that an immature baby is running an adult body and still believing they
are
the master of the universe.
And, yes, I put people who spontaneously state that you are going to hell or
Christianity is irrelevant mythology or other poisons dripped into our wells of
public discourse as toxic. It is one thing to tell your opinion when asked, and
quite another to say things you know will cause anger in others simply because
you disgree with them.
And anyone with a program to end all religion or to force their religion on
everyone else is a putrifying personality that hates freedom.
