I find it amusing how humans sort people into catogories and if someone is in a different "group" or catogory as them, they are somehow the enemy. I have come to the conclusion that religion is not entirely bad (i used to think it was), but i find that people in all corners of the world are both nice and a**holes alike, no matter what "God" they worship some people are just open to new ideas and other aint. Why do humans have the desire to be hateful towards people with different belief systems than their own?

Its the them and us syndrome. If they are them and we are us, we are happy. But let us become them and them us, we get confused and upset.
Mankind likes to put things into boxes and label it. It's done with people, ideas, God, all sorts. As long as we can put it in a box and name it, we think we control it.
If we can't control it, we hate and despise it. Otherwise we'd have to fear it, which would never do.

In my view all religions are guided Ignorance and every denomination that joins a religious sec condones it's philosophy on how it worships God and they all say the same thing my God is the right one and yours is the wrong one, all the confusion here is what God are we really supposed to worship, because there seems to be several out there that interpret him in many different ways, now we all know that there is a God of some sort we just can't come together on who has the right one, my suggestion is put the book down find a quiet place to sit and listen to your heart and not what you have read or been told God is simply in you and that's where you will find the real true God.

Anti religion means just that, against any, and all religion.
Infidel is a word used by muslims, followers of Islam. An Infidel is islam terminology for anyone who is not a follower of allah. That is, anyone who is not a muslim.
Anti infidel is only used by muslims who do not like people of other beliefs. Taken to extremes, some muslims believe allah requires them to rid the world of all infidels.

Thats because there are lots of religions that say that they are the only religion, and to be properly in that religion you have to denounce all other religions and try to convert other people to yours.
All religions are like this to some degree, and fosters hate of any other religion, and indeed believers of no religion.

'anti religious' people are usually just athiest, but 'anti infidels' usually want to wipe the hated group off the face of the Earth and have more in common with Fascists than religion.
All the religious people I know are quite nice really.

I am not religious (excuse to kill and torture people basically) but I am very offended by being referred to as an infidel.
D*ckheads come in all shapes, sizes, creeds, colours. Thats the only categories I use. D*ckhead or Non D*ckhead.

The fact is that any idea of God other than the God of Love and Wisdom leads to big personal problems and sometimes jail time.
