This isn't about me or my beliefs or lack thereof. It's the 'let's all hate religion' bandwagon that has appeared recently that bothers me. The people who hop on that are just as misguided as those they hate, and for the same reasons.

But religion is stupid. It is good that more and more people are starting to see it that way. It has lost its relevance. They are not as misguided, that simply is not true. Mocking people who believe in an invisible superman in the sky who will send you for torture for the rest of time if you kiss someone of the same sex isn't misguided.

What they do in this video is to hold up some of the stupidity of the religious right for us all to laugh at. Just because lots of people hold these beliefs, and they are old doesn't make them any less stupid. So what if some people may not have any strong philosophical understandings to why it is stupid, it doesn't matter because the christian right is blatently stupid, you don't need your amateur philosophy hat on to see that.

Sure, there are people who get evangelical about god hating, without having spent alot of time mulling the ideas over. You seem to imply that you must have a well thought out argument and reason for hating on religion - you don't, whilst it might make you seem intelligent and it is generally more pleasant to hear well considered reasons, the simple fact that religion is redundant and built upon pillars of stupidity make it all ok.

Blind hatred is more retarded than blind faith. By your logic christians are worse than racists. By your logic the Pope is worse than Hitler. You. Are. Retarded.

Wow - just wow. I need time to think about this.
You boy, are getting a wall of text once I've sorted out my views coherently.
(p.s. you're wrong)

I wouldn't bother if I were you.
