"The point is that the world does not need religion, it is evil and serves no purpose but to perpetuate its self and get in the way of rational, proper thinking."
If that's your point of view... as far as I see it, I would not exist if not for the hope that religion gave my parents and grandparents during WW2, when they escaped persecution in Poland. If you were in a similar situation, how would your "rational, proper" thinking help you, when you know you are bound to either get shot, or shipped out to a concentration camp to be tested on and eventually burn in a furnace? You'd probably off yourself at the earliest convenience.
"Unfortunately it doesn't matter that most peoples actual belief is more or less half hearted and innocuous in order to target the real criminals, priests, nuns, monks and evangalists etc they must be brought to understand that supporting religious activity is no longer an acceptable behaviour. Without their 'flock' the real work can begin; taking down the organisation and infrastructure of relgion. There is no real need to imprison any but the most hardline extremists ( who will undoubtedly turn to terrorism to maintain a grasp on their power ) it will be enough to make sure that no religious nonsense can ever be taught to children and no religious organisation can be allowed to operate, eventually with a lack of support and aggressive teaching about the fallacy of religion it will wither and die a natural, but long overdue death."
Hrmmm sounds exactly like someone I've heard of before, namely Hitler. Hope you're not running for a government position.
It's everyone choice to believe (or not) in something or someone and that includes both you and me.
