I'm non-affiliated theist. I believe in core Christian principles but without trinity and other weird dogmas and I reject most of the New Testament's historicity.
I don't believe into any religion. Sometimes it really hard to watch how people harm each others into "name of god".
When I was forced to go to sunday school they said everyone are gods children, a priest said so. And what do I see? Religious people harming each others.
Many religious people seem to be most of the bigoted people I know. Religious people seem to taken power from the god to themselves and started to pick gays and such. Gays are gods children too, as gays. No need to try to "fix" gods work..
If there would be a god people would not be so harmful toward each others but loving. Money would not win but love would.
And no need to explain anything for my view, I am as bigoted in my views what comes to religions There is just world full of human haters, humans as mammals which happends to biggest killers and destroyers in this planet. Who would created something as idiot than human? Nobody.
"There is a land for you to stay, eat and love each others"
While is true that many religious people try to force their belief on others, many atheists do the same and from what I noticed, a religious person would accept an atheist as friend with more openess and in a higher number of cases than an atheist would accept a believer as a friend. I dare to say that atheists are more fundamentalist compared with the believers, with the exception of Muslims, which on average are the most fundamentalist and sometimes even fascist. The tolerant atheists are those who defend freedom of conscience inclusively in respect of religious beliefs, who try to protect persecuted religious minorities, not the ones that ridicule all religious people all the time.

If a religious person has accepted an atheist as a friend, wouldn't that also mean that an atheist has accepted a religious person as a friend? So the number of cases where one has accepted the other as a friend is by definition exactly equal (friendship is mutual, no?). Unless all the atheists are faking it.
