I agree with kappleto, intolerance is not the answer. In order for mankind to live peaceful together, they must be tolerant of others. It's stupid to say that people that are religious can't reason but atheists can. Everyone human being can reason that's what makes us different from other animals. I think what is trying to be said here is that religious people don't use logic. That would also be a ridiculous claim because we all know that religious people can function in the world just as an atheist can and, using logic, vice versa would be true. One think different about religious people is that they have what's called in psychology abstract thinking, which is the whole basis of what they call "faith". If you ask any professor of psychology, they will tell you that abstract thinking is of a higher level than logical thinking. Though I do believe that religion causes a lot of bad things in the world and I mean a lot, but I believe that an educated atheist, like myself, should know these two things: 1. Religion doesn't teach war, those who use religion as a basis for their wars are doing so wrongfully. It is not the fault of religion but the fault of man 2. And you atheist that like to bash religion just remember that the bible foretells of those that oppose it, us, so when you bash it, you might get a negative result. Thank You
