You seem like the type that burns bibles in your spare time when should I start preparing for your type to make relegion illegal???
Make religion illegal?? But atheists want government and religion to be SEPARATE. If religion were made illegal, then there would be a connection between the 2. That is contrary to what most atheists want. We do not want religion made illegal, rather we want people to wake up and stop being so gullible and naive.
Basically you are thinking like a religious person. As a religious person, you think in terms of burning books and outlawing people who disagree, therefore you think that atheists would do the same thing. No. Atheists are happy to "live and let live", although this does not mean they will be mute.
For example, I think the bible is disgustingly immoral and perverted, and holding it sacred is insane. However, I do NOT want to burn all copies of the bible. On the contrary, it should be retained in libraries as an example of the lunacy and immorality of primitive people. It should be kept for historical reference. People can learn from it as an example of how immoral people were in the past. Religion and the bible should be studied by psychologists. Religion should be recognized by psychology as the pathology that it is. And to do this, we need to keep the bible, not burn it.
No sensible atheist wants to outlaw religion or burn books because then we would have become as bad as the christians. Religion advocates persecution. Atheists advocate education.
