Why do they try to prove religion wrong?

Religious people, have to teach others about their beliefs.
This isn’t true for atheists.

I know some atheists could care less, but some others try so hard to prove it wrong.
Why?

I was just reading a survey conducted by the Skeptic Magazine; http://www.skeptic.com/the_magazine/featured_articles/v12n03_orthodox_judaism_and_evolution.html it shows results that indicate a vast majority of Jewish students at universities reject evolution as an explanation for life on this planet and agree with the bibles writings that the universe is about 7000 years old and believe the Noah’s Ark story. Yet the wikipedia page on Israel; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isreal#Science_and_technology it shows that Israeli scientists have significantly contributed to the progress of modern science. How can this be?

After asking my last question I realized that people are absolutely ignorant about what goes on in the food service industry behind the scenes if they have not worked in the industry. What things irritate you at YOUR job that deals with the public (if your job applies...food service, sales, banking etc..) that oblivious customers do? This could be helpful for all of us! Sometimes people dont mean to be rude, they just have no clue they are pissing you off. Lets help eachother by educating eachother on these things.

Many people think that homosexuality is good, or at least acceptable, but not so many people think that polygamy in the same way. I've actually heard some convincing arguments for polygamy, so... What do you think, and how do you compare them (please don't just say they are way different and leave it at that).

Most of the current questions seem to be about dating or parental control. The others are homework questions for those still in school. Could we split into juvenile questions & adult questions?

I am a muslim, 22 years old and also a scientist. I strongly believe in my religion and that there is only one God (Allah) and Muhammed (pbuh) is his last messenger.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. To a previous question I asked, why do people question God's existence, a few replies used science as the answer. My question are to these people and atheists. I am 100% sure of God's existence. I know the different theories based on science where the simplest gene's (where did this come from) mutated to form more complex organisms . If evolution is the answer then how come people have not mutated to become something new?

Therefore, can people answer the question set .When all the proof is out there, atheists believe in nothing, therefore they should have no morals as morals are based on religion and not law. We have a conscience and free will and also a brain, so use it to see the right path. If you believe in no God, then God be merciful once u die.

when asked about their opinion as regards priests who do things not really christian (paedophilia and illicit sexual relationships) they say priests are just people?
Why are there just people for some things and god´s representatives for some others?

What's going on in England - this is the biggest Communist state in Europe. We've benefits going out to the massive influx of Europeans from second world countries. 80% tax on fuel. Where are our production industries? Drugs and crime are rife in cities. Fast-food outlets everywhere. Think about it: about 65-70% of us are working; the rest are either too old; too young or too sick, lazy or stupid to work. Why can't we have an immigration policy like that of Australia? Our trains are crap, our postal system is mostly privatised, our health service is f**ked (£12bn on a new computer system?! When did a computer ever cure an illness?) We have fast-food, enormous cars, shite television, political correctness and health & safety. This is all set against a backdrop of pandering to minority groups, "The War on Terror," greed, and apathy. Our country is being run by lawyers and the media. What's going on?

One of my Hindu friends asked me this, and I said that we do it out of our desire to treat God as a the most honored guest. But he says that's not really why. But I don't understand why then.

What do you think?
