105. Reality is reality
that is not a belief. It is not an opinion. It is what is true based on what is known and determined. Atheism is as old as humans. Saying it is new is absurd. Religion exists to explain reality when there is no other understanding. It's a tool, a tactic, but not truth.

"In short, what you are doing is taking your own personal experiences in life and projecting it on to others, saying that their beliefs are not as viable as your beliefs"

If I believe the sky is blue and the grass is green and you say it's reversed there is an actual truth. Ignore the whole color is a perception thing and realize there is actual provable truth. It is not an opinion. So I guess that incorrect belief isn't as viable as the correct one.

This mentality that we all have to just respect each other's differences is just a way to stop someone from speaking their mind.
