I feel like believers are continually in need of defending their point even if it means telling us others that we are wrong, oh, so wrong. It seems to me like my not believing is seen as an insult by believers because, how can someone even contemplate not believing?

When most of us believe in something, then we would like that everybody else should believe the same.
I think the thoughts behind it, that all believe the same as me, gives comfort and unity.
For those on top it gives power the more followers a belief has, so they might have their own agenda....it is from here the biggest injustice is done.
I agree that there is both good and bad people in any religion. As I have stated before I more believe that all religions are praying to the same God, because there can only be one who started it all, it is just the names that differ.
Since I have this belief I have no need to convert anyone, and I can at the same time respect any religion as long as they behave according to what most of us say are "Gods will", that we shall respect other, don't steal or lie and so on.
I am far from a saint, but I have no fear for judgement day either.
That was my 2 cent
