Militant atheists always seem to have this same unproven self assessment of superior intellect.
Yet he believes without doubt that there is no God. Atheism is a faith-based belief as well. He wasn't even an agnostic.
Atheists that cause problems have never made sense to me. They claim they do not believe in God, so why would religious things of any type have any meaning at all to them? If a person truly does not believe then why does it matter what others do, or say? Instead it seems some are obsessed with wanting no religion to exist, no sign that anyone believes. They hate believers, and want to destroy or hide any trace of religion. I just don’t understand why they care.
