people are different.. let them be. if you feel superior just because you don't believe in god then that's not really any different from thinking you're superior for believing in god. ;(

Uh no, there are plenty of reasons to argue that there is harm in religion. I could also claim that basing your beliefs (and in turn your actions and behavior) on free-thought, science and observation, rather than non-credible scriptures advocating moral views of past milennia, is superior. Still, that's not to say I as a person am in any way superior.

aggressive atheism is just as annoying as aggressive missioning, but it's worse because the motivation stems from a superiority complex rather than a desire to grant someone eternal blissful happiness.

there's no harm in religion by default, merely some (many) interpretations of religion.

I think that most of the religious people are just afraid to admit that there is no God because THEORETICALLY there COULD be a God, right? But there could also be a Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM, google it, very funny) and miraculously people don't believe in it. Parents tell their children that there is a God and they start to believe. Parents also tell their children about Santa Claus. But unlikely to Santa Claus they never stop to believe in God. Why? Fear of the possibility of the existence of God. + Show Spoiler +

There is no God!

Hint: Not everyone half-asses their way through their Christian life just because they're told to believe in a god.
