Key statement..

"Most of us"

Also true in context to say "most of them".

In your zeal, your cries of indignation or your advocations, do smear those
that would fall in the realm of "most of them", that being those
of faith who dont have a desire to foist their beliefs onto others.

 CH> For example look how commercialized the Xtain pagan holidays are.
 CH> That soft of takes away the 'religion' aspect doesn't it.

and many of them bitch about the commercialization as well.

But with it allows you to enjoy christmas and Easter, using the secular
attachments of Santa and that bunny.

Let the religious celebrate them as they will.

If you dont want people telling you how to raise your children, you
shouldnt be telling them how to raise theirs.

 CH>  IF Xtains could keep their superiority complex to themselves there

or if certain atheists kept their superiority complexes to themselves?

I know, some cant understand why someone wouldnt believe, you cant
understand why people do..

Its a circle.
