Maybe they've seen the vociferously religious at work and it turned them off...

Like Mother Theresa? Or Ronald Reagan? Or Billy Graham?

I've seen the vociferously atheistic at work in the form of Stalin, Lenin; Pol Pot, and other political leaders that kind of turned me off towards atheism.

Mother Theresa wasn't vociferous. She did her work quietly. Ronald Reagan never wore his religion on his sleeve. Billy Graham, of course, is a professional preacher.

No, the folks to whom I refer are those who basically condemn everyone who does not believe exactly as they do -- and condemn them in a loud and public manner. Anyone who has been on a Religion Forum thread, or any of the science threads here knows exactly the person to whom I am referring.

As historian Paul Johnson has written, the history of the 20th Century (dominated by the rise and fall of facism and communism) was a record of what happens when man and society reject the notion of God.
