You've just summed up my point perfectly. Why does there have to be a conflict? I'm a Man United supporter, a few of my mates follow Liverpool, does that mean I go around their houses with stanley knives on match days? I follow Swansea, a good mate of mine supports Cardiff. Those 2 teams have one of the most violent rivalries in the UK. How is it I don't try to glass him when I walk in my local when the 2 teams are playing?
This is what I mean by religious ignorance, people automatically assume much without actually doing any research (and reading the Mail is not research). I've got no issues with people following a different deity. What I do object to is people telling me their view is right and mine is wrong (this can come from followers of other faiths or in CF's case followers of atheism). Interestingly I have never heard someone of a different faith tell me that. Ever. None of my Christian friends have tried to convert anyone. You only pay attention to the ones who hassle you in the street, or cause pain, torture or death to others.

Enough atheists rant about being non-believers on CF. Some are even proud of being 'born again atheists'.
