Xujhan: So, you don't have a problem if the faith comes from oneself or at least less of a problem but you want to promote atheism and you also don't have a problem with most of religion except the 1% that are "harmful"? The problem is, that religion by definition requires a group of people to believe in the same beliefs/faith. So, in you saying that you don't have a problem with religion but you are only for people having their beliefs in oneself, then that seems to defeat the basis of any religion; you may come in with slightly differing faiths but by the definition of a religion, you'll share and apply those beliefs to others, and possibly convert someone or slightly change their faith. That can involve preachers or priests or fathers or ministers, etc..., which you are against. BUT, somewhere in this mess that I'm pretty confused in, you want to promote atheism. So, care to clarify this up for me as you've contradicted yourself at least twice (wanting faith in onself only but still religion and wanting religion/theism but promote the world to have atheism).
