What gets us all riled up is the believers and their arrogant snooty way of looking down on people and blatantly discriminating against people who aren't in their club. Yet at the same time they claim to "love all God's creations". Pure hipocritical talking points.

Snooty attitudes...yes I agree, no one likes that. Alan Watts use to say we define ourselves by our enemies. We define ourselves by what we are not. He used the example of 'Beatniks and Squares' which were the in fad opposites back in his day. So of course it is natural for religion and atheists to view themselves as polar opposites.
