I think religion rouses your curiousity because deep down you believe there is something after this life. Otherwise why would you come on to this thread in the first place, why not leave us in our ignorant bliss.

Because I feel its my duty to help you. It bothers me to see people wasting their lives worshipping & praying. Yes im very proud of my atheism and would love everyone to drop the idea of god. Religion rouses my curiousity based on the fact so many people believe in something that has absolutely no proof of even existing. Would you believe in a giant invisible chicken called pete that floats around space singing songs from Oklahoma? no of course you wouldnt as logic tells you its ridiculous. Yet you cant disprove it, just like science cant disprove God. Can you say with 100% certainty that fairies for example arent real? can you prove they are pretend.
The thing is, I would have no problem with religion if it was kept at home or in churches, mosques etc. However its not, its rammed down kids throats at school, its on the news, our own leaders preach it and use it to set policy. It causes diversity, war, people fighting each other based on their belief that their pretend magical lord is real and their enemies is not real.
That my friend is my problem with religion.
