As an atheist I find all this puffing and posturing over religion half amusing and half sad.

I don't get offended by anyone choosing to belive in God...............what DOES offend me is them trying to push their religious beliefs, customs and prejudices onto me.

I wouldn't go around trying to stop people believing in God ( whatever his/her name may be) so in return I would like them not to try to make me conform to their religious strictures.
