I realize, in light of remarks which some atheists make here, that believers are convinced that all atheists "hate" the god which is so important to so many. This is not the case. Most atheists, in the UK, in Canada, and here in the USA, do not "hate" your Bronze Age god simply because, to them, there never has been a god to hate, that no gods existed in the long-gone past, that none exists as our society inches, kicking and screaming, toward global modernity and civilization.
Clearly, change frightens you. It was ever so. Not long ago, many were sure that the Wrights brothers were wacko, that if god meant man to "fly" he would have given us feathers. In a hop and a jump, or less, far less as universal "time" goes, we are now flying men to the Moon and probes to other planets in our solar system.
Religion, as it is practiced in the United States, with such fervor and fear and juvenile acceptance, is, believe me, on the way to the door. Change happens, and the wise embrace it.
