Also, your religion may not like atheists, but it seems to respect their right to exist. The religious right wants a theocracy, plain and simple.

After the Holocaust, a lot of Jews turned atheist, including many members of that generation in my family - maybe even all, but Judaism is complex as far as there is The Word, but also the culture. My grandfather, born in 1902 in Poland and witnessed a lot of evil acts himself, confessed to me that he didn’t believe in God, but yet he said all the prayers at the family gatherings. So to whom was he praying? I concluded that he didn’t so much disbelieve as he was angry.
