Seriously, you should really stop hating on religious people. Of course they aren't going to automatically switch to straight science coming from religion. Because when a person has a family history of a set of beliefs for X generations, they are understandably(if you can be objective for like, 2 seconds) somewhat resistant to new ones. No matter how factual they may be, and, seeing as religion is based more on faith, not fact this only further complicates matters. Seriously guys, you just told an entire group of people that some of their strongest beliefs are total bullshit. Imagine that, something you have been told for years, and is one of the few things you are sure about, is now a lie, seen as no more then a fairly tale, what kind of reaction would you have? For the love a possibly non-existent god, chill the -blam!- out.

This thread presupposes that the non-religious are typically more informed than the religious. The majority of religious people have no idea why they believe what they believe and just believe what they've been told they should, and the majority of the non-religious have no idea why they believe what they believe and just believe what their mom didn't believe because she forced them to go to church one day when they wanted to sit home and play Pokemon. The fact is, most people are ignorant. And to both of these groups of people, I have no inclination to entertain their delusions of intellectual superiority or even competence. The ignorant deserve to be mocked until they cease to be so, because ignorance is dangerous to the society that I live in.
