I think Aj_June summed it up perfectly. Unless the people are being fundamentalist about their own religious views & bigoted towards others, disrespecting other people's religious beliefs only makes one as bad as the afore-mentioned fundamentalists' bigotry.

I disagree. If somebody holds a belief not supported by the evidence, that belief deserves to be challenged. Religious beliefs don't get a free pass just because they're religious beliefs.

   First of all most people, especially including atheists, make decisions with inadequate evidence all over the place. It really isn't practical to put every decision to a thorough investigation. There are usually several unknown quantities and no time or means to get them all. Life itself includes a vast unknown and speculation about it is normal.

   Secondly the "atheist" definition of "evidence" is often incorrect. They really are not the unbiased "scientists" they imagine themselves to be. The attitude they know more about "evidence" than others is b___s___ that is really annoying and shows how little they really know about science.

   Just saying because you deserve to be challenged too.
