    Why do religion-hating athiests like to debate about religion so much?

    It just doesn't make sense to me. The amount of blogs, videos and articles I've seen that all bash religion and people like Richard Dawkins whose whole career revolves around religion... Don't you think it's a waste of life? Spending so much time on something you find so ridiculous. Why can't you just not believe in God and let other people believe in God if they want to. Each to their own sort of thing...?
    I know there are religious people as well who spend their lives debating Atheism vs. Religion and that's pathetic as well, but if religion-hating atheists find religious people doing it so annoying then why do you do it yourselves?

    And by the way I know not all atheists hate religion or spend their lives bashing and debating it, I'm talking about the blog owners, lecturers, professors, etc who constantlyyyy argue about it. What's the point?

    I dont hate religion, but I'm intelligent and open minded enough to know that its not reality, but rather an enormously powerful brainwashing tool. Therefore witnessing the enormous damage and hatred it wreaks on humanity is enormously depressing. The way it instills fear into and destroys young innocent minds, opresses individuality, freedom, creativity and personal growth etc. is really tragic. I wonder why are we so afraid of nature, honesty and being true to ourselves and others, but instead prefer to hide behind some ''religion'' hoping that it will all be ok if we do?

    because it makes them feel superior to others, they like to put down the faithful to make them feel stupid.

    Because it is fun Yahoomis! Don't be so serious. You will find, like you, Christians bashing Atheist way more than the other way around. Like you and this question though you are trying to appear objective you got your facts wrong.

    For good people to do evil things and call them good, THAT takes religion:
    The inquisitions
    The crusades
    The Holocaust
    The book burnings
    The heretic burnings
    Human sacrifice (including that of the mythical Jesus)
    Countless wars in the name of religion
    Backing of the institution of slavery
    Hindering of science
    Hindering of medicine
    Hindering of social advancement
    Hindering of education
    Backing of slavery
    Subjugation of women
    Child rapes by religious leaders, and the cover-ups
    9/11
    Suicide bombings
    ...and much more.

    I'd like to prevent repeats.

    Beause religion is dangerous.
    Fundamentalism is on the rise and more and more children are being denied a decent education because they happened to be born in some religion or other.
    Religion turns off reasoning and logic and rejects questioning.

    Good point.

    If Dawkins *really* thought God was imaginary then he wouldn't spend his life trying to persuade people to agree with him.

    It is dawkins and his gang who are the most ardent at pushing their ideas on people. And if you dare to disagree then prepare for the atheistic religious onslaught

    They're just mad But no I think it's like how christian missionaries like to convert people to christianity, they like to convert people to atheism.
