I recently became anti-religious (or am still in the process of becoming so). It does bother me a bit seeing that it's a step further than atheism was for me and I am not particularly fond of going to extremes.
However, I see that more evil came from religion than from no religion and the Big Three (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) are certainly cruel religions, judging by their holy books.
It doesn't worry me so much when people believe in their god(s), but when they follow an organised religion that claims to know the truth, and that (according to their books) is not too proud to approve of stonings, slavery etc.
I don't even mind the people; it's rather like I don't like hiphop, but I still like people listening to hiphop.
Anybody sharing these views? How do you go about it? Do actively go against it (by sharing your views with religious people, supporting Dawkins, whatever)? Can you really sit back and do nothing while thinking that religions are a serious threat?
