How so do you diminish your beliefs?

I don't "hate" religion. I just try to understand where it comes from.

I actively hate religion. I'd like to let go of the hate too, but it would require me to ignore or not care about what I see it doing to people. I can't ignore it lying to and stealing from poor people and encouraging those same said poor people to elect horrible evil rich people into positions of power to further lie to and steal from a broader vulnerable base of poor people. It's disgusting. To me, looking at religion and not hating it would be like looking at vomit and not feeling revulsion and gagging.

I disagree with it but don't hate it. I am more sad than anything for those that require religion to just be a good human being. It's not worth my spending time being angry at it.

Speaking personally, hating something implies expending negative energy toward something and religion doesn't merit the expense. If I invest a lot of myself in something, I can easily get rattled if it's attacked. With religion, there is no investment, so any discussion on my part is from a position of calm comfort, which I find can be much more aggrivating for the opposition.

"Good! Use your aggressive feelings. Let the hate flow through you."

I don't hate it, however, this bothers me when after I have told them my standing and they persist to try to force me to listen to their inane rhetoric this is when I go on the offensive.

Okay, this is a little different.

I fucken hate the occults. All of them. The Christian's, Jews, Muslims, Hindes...

Girl, as you age your gonna get ugly, fight a biological clock and die. Along the way, you can watch it happen to the people you love.

As they suffer watch them pray and beg to a non existent god.

Always keep in mind if the occults hadn't brainwashed society, it is likely we would have cured the human condition by now. If people didn't believe in heaven, they would fight death.

Occults are causing you to suffer in a much greater way than most atheist pussys will give them credit for.

Now use your inner Darwin. Go all Darth Maul on their shit.

Don't be the normal pussy atheist, who just accepts them for being idiots. Don't accept it. Feel and nurture that hate in you.

Get pissed. Get fucken angry.

Now, go fight a good fight.

Start a subtle conversion of their flock.

Weapons come in all forms, but knowledge masked with a smile is likely the most effective.

Go save a life.

Challenge their beliefs in heaven and you fortify a fight against mother nature.

Religion is no different to politics if you expect it to change. You can waste a lot of time and energy wondering how it can be better or worse. It’s there, it is what it is. To get around it you have to put it down and not carry it with you wherever you go.

Sounds like you want to be a victim. You can’t change them so if you are serious change your attitude to whatever it is you abhor.

Religion is, hate, fear and war. In some ways I support church burnings. I was hanging out with some guys I met at a slayer concert. Told them to burn a church we drove by. I was joking mostly. They got gas, and I talked them out of it. Yes, i fucking hate religion. Most brainwashing bullshit ever.

I do not hate religion, or religious people. One of my closest friends was an army pastor (catholic himself) and we have discussions on morality, ethics, cricket, rugby, horse riding, cooking - usual discourse between adults apart from sex (taboo for catholics).
The prescence of god at a battle? If soldiers were helped to get through it by believing in a god - I am fine with it. That both sides claim gods support is enough evidence for me to know he does not exist.

Don't hate Religion just have a sense of humor about it.

It's normal to hate those oppressing us

No struggle at all. Religion is easy to despise.

Its effortless for me.

Depends on what you mean by "hate". I don't use that word in the casual way many people will say, "I hate broccoli". I find religion tiresome and annoying, but understand that eradicating it from society and culture is the work of centuries to come, and I'm going to die in a world full of presuppositionalist bullshit. So I don't waste energy on being all up in arms about it, anymore than I waste energy grousing about serialist modern classical music. It's easier to just not listen to it.

Don't give in to the misinformed so-called believers

I no longer have a struggle with the part that I once believed. I still have a few quibbles with how the believers that I once associated with still behave.

For me personally I find it close to the same feeling I have for my divorce, I'm comfortable with living alone, but wish I didn't have too. Its alot cheaper and easier to handle than divorce, but it follows you around and haunts you at moments of weakness.

Pity the victims, (including all genuine believers) hate the idea. Not complicated, it only gets difficult when some believers use it to expliot or abuse others.

I didn't in the past but what is going on right now how can anyone with a sober mind anything but hate religion. We are not just atheists but anti-theists.

The only hate is of their hypocrisy and racism those who don't do this I don't hate

I do my best not to hate anything and I direct my mind away from "hate" if I find that I can dwell there. Do not give these things opportunity to thrive. Your thoughts are you. They become you.

I don’t hate religion....I try not to hate anything, hate is more destructive to self than to the object of our hate. In any case religion is an abstract, it’s a belief not an actuality. What I do dislike intensely is the damage that religious belief causes to the rationality and minds of otherwise sane and intelligent people, and when these people try to influence government policy with their religious dogma. On a personal level, I tolerate others’ views, especially those of friends who believe, but without disguising or watering down my own. I only confront others if they try to proselytise or tell me I’m wrong by not believing what they do, but that happens only rarely, and never amongst my friends or family,

I’ve never been religious so I don’t have any hate for it or much of anything really.

Let the anger go it’s poison
