Yes, I have the same issue. I hate having made up fairytales thrown at me while the same people dismiss scientific facts. It makes me feel like I'm F**king crazy!

I hurt someone I cared about very much, because I couldn't control myself. It ruined our relationship, and it took 5 years for us to communicate again. I remember how shitty I felt every time the urge to open my big mouth, without considering the other person's feelings, arrives. This has worked wonders for me.

I know. It’s very frustrating. It’s like trying to convince a toddler that the tooth fairy and Santa doesn’t exist. I don’t have time for children in adults bodies, who want to behave like small children with their irrational view with faith and toys. If you can’t reason with reality, I can’t reason with faith. End of discussion.

Thank you for asking this. I have the same issues.

No need to be less intolerant.

I think you want to be more tolerant....
Keep and open mind and don't take shit personally.

I can pretty much tolerate it, except for when someone gets on their soap box (literally) in public and has a megaphone, or microphone with portable amp. That shit gets under my skin. It's annoying as fuck!!!

Honest... I am more frustrated when an atheist brings religion as a topic that when a religious bring religion as a topic. Lucky for me I am tolerant, very tolerant and not bothered by the little stuff.

I never bring it up. If it's brought up, my reaction depends entirely on the person I'm speaking with. If it's obvious that they are blind believers and will not acknowledge even the most obvious evidence then I simply refuse to engage in the conversation. If the person seems intelligent and open I can have a spirited chat with them, not expecting to change their mind, but at least to get them to understand my point of view.
