It seems like the majority of the religious-interested people over here, and on other forums, youtube, and many other places online are extremists.
Many atheists think they always know it better, and ridiculing faith without respect seems the rule. They seem to forget that religion is a sensitive subject. They see atheism as the only scientific righeous way.
On the other hand, many religious people take their beliefs as the only truth, and are not open minded. There is so much hate towards atheism sometimes. There is simply NO evidence for a God, and no evidence of His non-existence. Reasoning with logic/common sense is different for everyone... Btw, the definition of a God is what you make of it... I can't draw a clear line between Theism and Atheism... I am somewhere in between but not agnostic. I am shocked.
>> What is the reason of the high proportion of internet reli-haters? Why do people always want to present their (non-)religiosity as facts?

Good questions and I understand your frustrations.
The quick answer to why people get so bent out of shape on either end is simple: Pride.
Take any debate, apart from any religious topic. People get fired up and say the wrong thing or get emotional when they are challenged. It's human nature and we are not perfect. I also think it is frustration and knowing that we do not have ALL of the answers.

Actually there's a lot of moderates on both sides... it's just that the people who make the extreme comments are the ones that stick out. Also it's easy for a moderate to get fired up and sound extreme when they feel attacked or insulted which escalates things on both sides.

Theists see society as turning to sin and which would be very frightening to them. to no longer point out atheists tend to no longer have any admire for faith, openly mock it and are fairly blasphemous. Theists seek for admire for their faith. Atheists see a society throwing away consumer-friendly experience and turning returned to the darkish a while. they're disillusioned with the aid of religions' quandary of scientific progression and their tries to rigidity their values on everybody else. Theists seek for admire for their faith. theists: there's a warfare on faith. atheists: there's a warfare on technological awareness.

Because everyone is afraid they are wrong. Some people feel if they attack someone else's beliefs, they will validate their own.
Someone that is confident in their own beliefs, is content that the truth will eventually be revealed to everyone, so has no need to attack others for validation.

self righteous people exist in every belief. whether you believe in god or not. People never take a real good look at themselves, it is easy to point the finger and act as superior then others..

I want to stop religion from being a sensitive subject. Thats one of the reasons its been around so long - you're not allowed to question it.
