You've received a ban for that because it's attacking someone's belief system; nobody would attempt to hang out your presumably Atheist stance in such a manner." (My original response)

Let it be known that I am not religious; probably Atheist if I HAD to choose; even then I prefer to detach myself from any particular sect out of a desire to explore the area in a lot more depth before potentially dedicating my entire faith to something.

This shit really bugs me. Atheism itself is inheriting all the darker traits of traditional religion; hatred and the belittling of the beliefs of others. So many Atheists think believing in nothing and basing faith in scientific fact/abstinence immediately makes them smarter and better people than, say, someone who goes to church every Sunday and lives by the bible; Atheists (generally speaking) seem to think this entitles them to mock, ridicule or lambaste followers of the historic religions based on the sectarian and discriminatory facets therein. It's a real shame that they can't see how hypocritical that is.

There's an extremely fine line between Atheism and adopting a sectarian attitude - masked in 'knowledge' and 'facts' - towards others based on what they believe. Nobody should be made to feel persecuted for what they believe in.
