Re: Why does an atheist have to bash religion and religious figures ?
Umm no. I wonder what kind of atheist you were when you were one. I do believe religion is evil but I DO NOT believe it is the root of all evil in the world. You can debate whether we are born evil or innocent. It’s up to you to pick what you believe. We can argue that human race is inherently evil or we can argue that our race is inherently good and something turns us evil as we mature- be it our culture, religion, community, parents, school etc etc. The problem is even religious people are so divided in their belief system, it’s impossible to lump them all together. It would make no sense for me to consider them all evil when each of them believes in a different interpretation of their holy scripture. This is where it gets dangerous. People do what THEY believe and their drive and devotion to cause harm (to them it’s equivalent to glorifying god) is fueled by the religion they believe to be true. I have come across muslims who believe in evolution and believe that Eve and Adam were not actual humans, they were just ROOH. Their interpretation seems to fit the theory of evolution so that’s what they believe. I have muslims relatives who will not shake hands with a nonmuslim because their interpretation of Quran teaches them that you cannot befriend a Kafir.
Mirch bhai, I know what I am talking about I am not dumb. Do not try to put words in my mouth. You obviously do not understand my perspective which is exactly why it needs more representation. 
But whatever, i am so done. It’s pointless..
