      Use that intelligence to talk about your point of view. If they don’t want to change their mind, how is that insulting? For some people, the belief in god/s is a comfort in this shitty world that helps them get through the day. I have no problem with that.

        I don’t have a problem with that either but what I do have a problem with is people who believe in fairy tails being able to vote and influence the laws I am forced to live under.

        So In general I just hate religion.

          Terrible things have been and are still been done in the name of religion, so I guess I can’t blame you for hating it. I also totally agree religion has no place in politics.

          I think the best any of us can do is play the long game and educate people without insulting them. Calling their religion a fairy tail - even if that’s what you strongly believe, will just make them defensive, dig their heels in and refuse to hear what you have to say. You might even give them the wrong idea about what Athiesm means.

          There will be eventually be enough people in the right places to be abe to say enough is enough and pass legislation to remove the religious aspect of the laws of the county they are in.
