When was the last time an atheist fire bombed a church? Or wore a suicide vest into a hospital? I don't really disagree with you, there are fanatics of all things out there. But there only seems to be one group that has been standing out of late. Take a look at EU and it's immigration problem with Muslims. Now normally people fleeing wartorn countries is perfectly acceptable and understandable, but they refuse to even aknowledge these European countries laws and rules and demand that they bend and change to fit their life style, while at the same time crime has sky rocketed because of the kidnappings and selling of children into sex slavery. Not to mention the riots. Oh and the Arab spring.... that was fun.I'm biased however, I know that. I am also a bigot, and ethnocentric.In my defense however the last group of devout Muslims I dealt with tried to kill me.

It's more of a I haven't seen evidence of there being a god and feel scientific theory is what guides and drives my interest and understanding of the universe, but I acknowledge that the potential might be there in a capacity we cannot measure. I also feel that if there is a god(s), there lies the potential for such a thing preseting itself differently to different cultures or coexisting with other gods and multiple planes of an afterlife could exist, which can tie into that whole multiple universe hypothesis. I'll find out when I die, I suppose. You are right that I don't really care/ want to debate it because it's literally an argument that has no achievable answer and people tend to be very set in their faiths or lack there of. It's more optimistic to let people have faith and not discourage them from it, because there's no way to prove one way or another if they're right or wrong. Besides, for all we know, everyone is correct regardless of their religion or lack of. There's plenty we still don't understand, and I think it's rather silly to fight over it. After countless arguments across human history, nobody has gotten closer to an answer and it goes into a big ouroboros of debate of demanding proof and being offered nothing tangible from either side. Let's just worry about coexisting, you know? We have much more tangible issues to solve that actually have answers.
